    “This actor isn’t acting upset” seems like a rather shallow analysis. When a person does something that can upset me, I ask myself whether becoming upset serves my interests. Usually it does not and so I don’t. This has let me maintain important relationships, but it doesn’t mean I like when people are rude to me. I still feel a flash of anger in the moment, and while I genuinely don’t hold on to resentment, obviously I prefer when people are nice.

    (The actor repeatedly doing something that angers the director also seems less than ideal.)
