Yes!
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
Yup.
Definitely.
I do.
BrandNewMan · 61-69, M
Agreed
I can forgive anyone that is genuinely sorry for offenses.
MellyMel22 · F
@Unefilletrescurieuse I can too. What is harder is forgiving when they do something and not see what’s wrong with it.
@MellyMel22 totally understood…

I'm Italian-American. Respect is a BIG deal to me. You gotta give it to get it.

@uncalled4 @MellyMel22 When you guys are Italian American, Then you guys are Full Americans. The whole Europe is America and whole America is Europe. They both extend.

I have no issues with disrespect. I rather enjoy that part. It means they can be honest with me which is a form of respect in its own right. What I don’t like someone’s inability to handle being disrespected. What that means is I now have to walk on eggshells all day long and be so fake you’d think we’re coworkers trying not to compromise our job. What good is that kind of relationship? Really? One where you can’t even talk about anything that matters because it wasn’t said the right way. I have no time for that. If I walk out, it’s not because you disrespected me. It’s because you showed me that I can’t be myself around you.

@bijouxbroussard No worries. I’m well aware of how sensitive you are to these things. It’s why I make it a point to avoid you. I have no problems with you, but I understand you certainly would have issues with me.
bijouxbroussard · F
@Reject I actually don’t have any issues with you. I didn’t realize you were avoiding me. I’m not here as often as I used to be so I probably wouldn’t know the difference. 😅

@bijouxbroussard You don’t have any issues with me now, but you would. I know this because you have. In the past.

Words or actions showing disrespect can create lasting consequences, especially in personal or professional relationships.
Apologies can only fix the immediate negative reaction. But apologies cannot undo how people see you specially if you’ve crossed the line of being respectful.
In my case, I could handle disagreement of POV or opinions, for as long as communication is respectful. But the moment the other person violates that respect, there is no undoing it for me.

@CookieCrumbs Same here. I can respect others opinions as long as they can respect mine.
Ducky · 31-35, F
Absolutely. When I eventually go back to work, based on the reports I’ve been getting, there’s already one such individual I’m going to be professional with and that’s it. Outside of work, I can only hope we don’t run into each other.
MellyMel22 · F
@Ducky It really sucks when things have to come to that.
Ducky · 31-35, F
@MellyMel22 I’m so tempted to go back to work just to tell that little shit off. But then I look at my son and realize there are bigger things in need of my immediate attention.
MellyMel22 · F
@Ducky That’s right! He’s most important. And also, it’d prob make them happy to know it’s bothering you, so try to let it go so they don’t win 🤍
To some extent. Emotions and many other factors play a big role in it.
With immediate family, it's different. But with outsiders, this fits.

FreestyleArt · 36-40, M
I rather just don't talk to anyone. That is part of my respect for many. Their own business and my own business especially the world is a piece of shit these days.
MellyMel22 · F
@FreestyleArt That’s why I try to avoid a lot.

There's a thin but distinct line crossed, from which there's no coming back.
It fractures families, life-long friendships, and relationships.
Venomous & cruel; wielded in anger, the tongue is truly mightier than any sword.

@SethGreene531 I agree! There are some exceptions if handled right then and in the future.
SethGreene531 · M
@MellyMel22 Yes, definitely, some connections - especially those with considerable personal investment - are too precious to be dismissed out-of-hand. Addressing the issue immediately is key, I agree.
Absolutely
