It gets a lot easier when you stop seeing people as demons reincarnated but for who they really are-unique mix of charms and flaws, with their own whims, rushed talk, hidden regrets and secret fears. It gets easier when you realize they might fear you more than you fear them and just like small dogs they bark in an attempt to scare you so that you wouldn't see how scared they are.

Sympathy. Just let them bark until their agitation wears off. You can never go wrong with sympathy and kindness.
