Do you demand respect, or do you earn it ?

@Degbeme ok

@Degbeme I strongly suspect you do irl (earn it), my friend.Even the teasing here is from great affection. 😊

@GuyWithOpinions I get what you're trying to say.

But some/most don't deserve my respect.

It's very hard to make me respect someone,

But, I'm not gonna tolerate their disrespect.

My dignity demands it.

@Umile if you think someone doesnt deserve your respect its because they havent earned it yet. Maybe for good reason.

If you find it hard to respect people maybe its because you have been hurt in the past so your less likley to trust making it harder for people to have a chance to earn it.

Maybe you dont tolerate disrespect because your tired of loosing respect.

If you judge everyone the same the cycle will always continue. Maybe change the type of people you surround yourself with. There are worthy people out there somewhere. If you close off completely you might never find them.

But yes. I agree with you..

@Casheyane Nmh. 💯

@Primnproper good words. Well said.

@JimboSaturn The minus bit. Makes sense.

It's like the chacha with me.

I let them lead.

@SW-User 💯

@cherokeepatti The good old minus. Nmh.

@PhoenixPhail 👍

@SW-User In then out. I usually stay out. But its straight from the get, guess you want it straight.

@Umile I need it straight. People tend to play games and manipulate. I think it's just human nature. I don't want to fall for somebody's bull crap though. I can feel their expectations and hesitations and at this point in my life I can't handle it.

@SW-User nmh. Go with your gut. Think it through. Try to do it calmly.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Ooooh. You're my kind of peoples. 💯

thank you @Umile 🙂

@Arantxa I do te cordial bit. If they cant reciprocate just that, smh. They don't need to be in my presence.

@exexec Good of you

@smiler2012 See my comment

@NativePortlander1970 that is 🤷‍♂️

@jackieash lol. I feel. Chivalry is not the only thing dead. Also manners and respect.

@bijouxbroussard 💯

@jshm2 somewhat. They're also the ones that are tired. The quiet one one, that on that particular day, is ready to roll.

@Moneyonmymind #TRUTH

@NativePortlander1970 A good point. There are people who are purposefully disrespectful. I can't handle that.

@Umile Sadly I have family on both sides that are like that.

@NativePortlander1970 nmh.
