Regardless of their public perception as sinners, Jesus welcomed anybody who wished to hear the truth of His Word. He showed unconditional love to everybody He came into contact with. When we are driven by emotions other than love, we can cause serious damage to people. Allow the love of God to guide you in all of your interactions.
Come close to God and He will come close to you. [Recognize that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [realize that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery]. James 4:8 (AMPC)
