My tactic with these sorts of people is to kill them with kindness. Put them in a position where they should reciprocate kindness.
"Your hair looks so lovely today by the way!" "My gosh, I love your earrings." I go out of my way to make it seem like I have
zero clue of their attitude/can't tell/not affected." Usually squashes any subliminal intimidating games/microaggressions. And sometimes for the positive in the sense they start to treat me /genuinely/ better.

I had this sort of thing happen with a a company I had to work side by side with at a previous job and it seemed they started to dread working with me because I had (politely but directly) corrected their errors. I could tell there was a misunderstanding of intent but it'd be too awkward/unsuccessful to be like 'Hey I could be wrong, but it seems you have a problem with me- could we talk about it'. Something like that for sure would make them feel worse towards me. So the best way to tackle it for me was to go out of my way to squash any preconceptions that I accidentally gave. And it worked! They even started requesting to work with me more after.

the scenario is different but I'm sure the overall tactic should bear some fruit.

Cliche Icebreaker, if you could have one single super power, what would it be?
I totally overthink these things. My thought process goes like:
"Damn I'd love to fly but you can only go so high before you get light headed/lungs strain. Not to mention without weather control it'd
be inconvenient to get caught in a storm in flight with no visibility. Maybe I'd want to be a healer? Wait no, it'd become my moral obligation
to help everyone and that'd become the most exhausting thing in the world and people would hunt me down with millions of sob stories that would sap every ounce of emotional energy. .."

so with that, the least dilemma power has come down to an Extra Special Green thumb.
I can help the world more discreetly that way. (ex deforestation) And If I could go even just one summer without killing
my cilantro that'd be great.

Incase you didn't know, I love tea.
But I'm also a tea snob. So I don't just love any tea, I snobbishly drink the high quality stuff
that I struggle to justify why I can afford.

Tell me your ideal cup of tea! Which flavor/company/with sugar/cream/something else/etc.
I'ma plug in my fav's. (I do not own nor do I sponsor any of these. Genuinely just my fav's I have found.)

Favorite Green Tea: Matcha
Not just any Matcha will do. I have purchased 17 varities of Matcha and only one
has very clearly taken first place to my taste buds and that can be found right here:

I like my matcha with very little cream. A good matcha should have no bitter taste. Strictly earthy with the slightest
sweetness going down. It should have a strong aromatic that entices you to the cup. Honestly Matcha is the green tea for anyone who claims they hate green tea. It makes an excellent flavoring- with the remaining matcha's that are inferior taste, I cook with them to make things such as Matcha Crepe's.

Favorite Oolong
If I'm on a budget I do stick to Bigelow Oolong, but when I can splurge I love Yunnan Sourcing
more for their Tie Guan Yin variety of Oolong. https://yunnansourcing.com/collections/oolong-tea/products/imperial-tie-guan-yin-of-anxi-oolong-tea-of-fujian-spring-2018?variant=12138853990468
This tea is smooth enough to steal your girlfriend.

I like my oolong with just a bit of honey.

My favorite Chai Variety
Comes from David's Tea. A Canada based company whose selection of any tea is eclectic and fun.
Being a tea snob I find their teas either a big hit, or a miss. I like strength without a bitter recoil.
I want to taste a medley of flavors if you're gonan advertise them as such! And This Black Chai does
just that. https://www.davidstea.com/us_en/tea/chocolate-chili-chai/10248US01VAR0013107.html#q=Chai&srule=Price DESC&sz=12&start=8

I like my chai with cream. This specific Chai, I do add a pinch of cinnamon to just give a certain extra level.


Those are presently my top three, but if you have a super addiction to another variety of tea and are open to suggestions, just let me know and I'll be happy to geek out with ya.

Also, if you aren't a tea person or are feeling lost in the world of tea, give me a PING! I'm SURE I can find a tea
in your budget that you would love regularly- even those adamant on "Coffee only".
