Discussion»Questions»Human Behavior» Could you ever respect anyone who disrespected you? What about who disrespected those you love/like/respect? Possible/im? Why?
I have met some 'powerhouse' guys who disrespected me and whose assessment I thoroughly agreed with. Then again I have met some 'holes in the ground' who disrespected me and who I found utterly ridiculous. It is not as simple as just 'disrespect' versus 'respect'. what person, what areas, what agendas, ... there are a lot of things that matter. Sometimes 'respect' matter too, but frankly if all someone can say is "hes got no respect" then I just move on. So what :-))

So there are situations in which you agree with the person who doesn't respect you and so you respect him/her for that? I don't respect rude/disrespectful people. If they are impolite/rude/insulting I simply refuse to engage with them about anything ever on any level. I require civility or I am unavailable to engage. That's just how I am JakobA. I don't provide excuses for rudeness. Mine or anyone's else's. I try not to be rude though sometimes I don't succeed. But mostly I think I am civil. If I can be civil anyone can be if he/she chooses that path. It is always choice over which YOU have completely control. Unless you suffer from something like Tourette's. Thank you for your reply! :)
