Yes!

Yes!

Absolutely!

Sage words!!

Yup.

Definitely.

I do.

I can forgive anyone that is genuinely sorry for offenses.

Yes, I do.

Agreed

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

completely

You know it dear

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.

anything's possible but like Jesus said if you expect God to forgive you from all of your sins, try at least to forgive people as much as possible too

Yup. It can even cause divorces!!!

*knocks on the door*

Definitely, only those mystics who have sat for long periods in arid deserted locations and who have thus mastered their inner beings can extend that kind of forgiveness. The rest of us humans have other things to do which may result similarly in the wonder of things which create that ability, but mustn't be expected from any due to it's epic nature.

Disrespect breaks trust completely and it reveals your character. Disrespect is a reflection of your values, not a temporary mistake. It causes internal shifts. Once someone feels truly degraded, their view of you changes irreparably. Words cannot erase actions. A simple sorry can never undo historical behavior or painful memories.

No forgiveness is at times the higher ideal

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.

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.

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.

Yup - a point of no return...

Depends .. I’m open minded and believe in true remorse, to a point.

Context of character plays a big part in how I feel tbh

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.

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.

Yep.
That kind of goes along with first impressions - it takes a second to make a first impression and a lifetime to put it right…

It can burn bridges 💯% of the time.
Disrespect could be 'proportional' (which is the tale of two wrongs don't make a right)
and then there are such levels of disrespect,
well, when you know, sadly, you know.

yes because they would be on fire and it's difficult to apologize when you are on fire

Absolutely

An apology without changed behavior is just manipulation

I definitely agree with that. Anyone can have an off day, but blatant disrespect shows you who a person is.
