Normalcaca are generally pleasant to be around if you're not a creepy school shooter looking weirdo. I remember when I started helping people in high school with some assignments (because I had nothing better to do) their attitudes shifted from almost disdain to pity at least. I even had a conversation with a dude in my computer management class last week and he seemed pretty nice, despite being a decade older and having accomplished much more than I have.
If you treat them like shit don't be surprised if they do the same, I know they can be difficult but still
