Bismillah
As Salam alaikum
In order to ease my heart, I started to just assume that someone did not hear me if they do not return my salam. I go so far as to wonder if maybe they are deaf. I do this so I do not feel any animosity which I feel wears away my iman.
If I still feel hurt or anger, I pray for them. I try to really mean it and ask for really wonderful things for them like I would want for myself (jennah, forgiveness, etc..). Alhamdulillah, I found that this keeps these ills feelings away. If we feel this way, it will be too hard to unite as an ummah.
(Alhamdulillah, Intuition has returned safely!)
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
