how do you deal with this issue? I think this seriously messes me up. people not having respect for me seems to happen with every person I have sustained interactions with in life, but its particularly painful when it's someone you care about.

How would you define disrespect? What do people in your life do when they do not respect you?

I’ve had this happen to myself so often and seen it happen to others all the time, too. It IS frustrating!
There’s really nothing you can do aside from accept that they don’t respect you. Don’t take it personally, because they don’t respect anybody! It’s usually to their own detriment anyway. For example, my husband is a professional at something that my mother asks his advice about. He goes out of his way to get her the best professional advice, yet she instead takes the advice of my sister who has no knowledge about the issue. Of course she makes a terrible choice and suffers greatly for it. Frustrating!!! __________________ "And don't say it hasn't been a little slice of heaven, 'cause it hasn't!" . About Me--T |

Could you give examples of how they disrespect you?
In my case, I was surrounded by toxic people. Are these people toxic or mean? |

I have felt this way! Sometimes I've had the end the friendship. Other times, I've just expressed how I felt. I'm curious to know some examples of what's gone on, Randle, but this thread is also about a month old, and I understand if you don't want to, or if the issue has gone away.

What you define as disrespect might be defined as respectful by the other person. here's an example, person 1, it's respectful to get everything off my chest and communicate my feelings with tough love. Person 2, It's repectful to keep my feelings to myself so or only communicate them in a way that doesn't hurt the other person.
These two attitudes generate completely different behaviours, both of them out of respect for others. Have you sat down with the people who you feel are disrespecting you to find out what there rules for respect are? Do you know what your own rules of respect are? May I suggest the next time this happens you stop and think about this and communicate with the other person to sort out your differences. It'll help you feel alot happier knowing who is and who isn't behaving disrespectfully from their point of view. |

People that care about you should respect you if they don’t respect you they don’t care about you.
