It's what they said and did

Eh...sometimes, it is what isn't said. lol
If I FEEL disrespected, that's usually a good sign I might have been, even if others don't see it the same way. What we all differ on is what it takes to be disrespected. Some like things others don't. If someone doesn't feel disrespected it might be values and all are different than someone who feels disrespected.

I feel so lonely......I hear none of it, maybe I got hearing aids.....☺️

It hits me the hardest when i know deep down the other person is right. I think truth can be turned into imagined disrespect.

I think so, I will always assume that people are upset with me or don’t like me. I always take things way more personally than they are meant.

yessss when I hear words being badly said..my ears get heated and heat goes to my blood and it will boil lol

I'm a little too full of self love to have emotional ears (most of the time) but boy do I ever get triggered when I reflect on some of the things people have said in the past LOL

Indeed. Discerning the difference can be rather hard.

I would wager a larger percentage for most are reactions based from triggers, our own internal dialogue and insecurities.

There's a lot in that mix, to be fair.

I have been disrespected by "professionals" in my time. 😉 I can tell when it's intentional. There's a horrible tone of voice that goes along with it, usually, and if I am face to face with the person disrespecting me, there is a nasty twisted "face" they make.

I can hear a voice saying something that could [i]almost[/i] be nice, but if the tone is dripping with sarcasm, it's NOT nice.

But I also have my triggers, and I won't tell you what they are. I don't want folks setting out deliberately to pull them here on SW.

Disrespect is disregard for someone’s feelings. So technically anything can be disrespectful to someone, but if you want people to take you seriously, you should narrow down the things you consider disrespect.

There's things like my husband sitting there reading his phone when we're sitting together in the evening and I'm told just a minute.. And if the kids come into chat with us, he totally gets involved with his phone and I'm left to converse with the kids or make food or whatever.

He doesn't think he's being disrespectful, but I feel like it is, his phone comes first often,... Apparently I'm just too sensitive

I always assume it’s me misinterpreting things unless I have confirmation that I’m right from someone else.

It is more what they said and how they say it that makes my ears get emotional but it takes a lot to get there.

The difference can be very subtle and difficult to make.
