Dealing With Difficult People

I saw this thread in SeekersHub and could relate it to my previous experiences. People are complex - some are good while the rest are tricky to handle. Nevertheless, as Muslims we have to constantly strive to do our best to maintain good relations with everyone.

Question: I often encounter rude behavior from sisters when I attend the mosque and other events. This burdens my spirit and I’ve concluded that Islam is the relationship between you and God and the ummah part is just extra if you can deal with it. In other words I don’t enjoy the company of many sisters and just rather be at home. Tonight from prayer I was walking towards my door and I thought “maybe I shouldn’t be Muslim anymore” and as soon as I thought it, I fell down a flight of steps, hurt my right hand and nearly broke the fingers on my left. If the shayateen are bounded during Ramadan where is all this from?
