I've found a glaring problem in GTA Online. The fact that defending yourself against overly hostile players and trolls makes the game register you as an aggressive player, and sorts you into lobbies filled to the brim with psychopaths and trolls.

I can't start one game without being blown up or shot to death the moment I step out of my apartment, or stroll into a store without bullets flying through the door.

And starting the game in passive mode is no fun, so all I'm left to do is fire back at the people trying to kill me, and try to find an area on the map where I can safely start a job without getting sniped.

Either I'm being sorted into lobbies with overly hostile players, or all people who play GTA Online are dickheads. I guess only time will tell.

I guess the one benefit is that I'm getting better at setting traps and scoring headshots from long distances.
