Knowing it's the first rule of happiness, I have tried my best to keep my social life simple and clear.
Unfortunately, there are still chances that I will have to face one or two abrasive person, directly or indirectly. The general rule is to act according a fix rule of engagement:
1) never get personal
2) never take an offense
The trick is people can assault you anyway they wanted, but I can avoid being offended by simply ignoring their assault. Of course, in the case of a physical assault, you will need to shun or fend yourself.
3) document everything
Avoid getting into the situation of arguing who said what. Those things should be factual.
4) escalation is the last resort
In the worst case, when I absolutely can't appease the conflict, I will have to escalate it to those who can.
