How do you deal with disrespect?

I mean sure we all have our ups and downs and maybe tell off even those we are close to at some point in our life but..."close" friends aren't supposed to diss you, hurl abusive words at you, make you feel like you're worth nothing, or insult you in various ways by making you think you're inferior to them right?

How do you deal with those? Do you forgive them and try again, or just move on?

Call it out. If it's a close friend, use communication to expose your feelings. If it's not a close friend use communication to uncover your mistaken assessment about how close the friendship is. Either way, you win.

@MarkPaul But confronting your close friends isn't always easy especially if they go in another tirade for some insane reason.

@SW-User 🧔 It sounds like you don't want to deal with honesty, but instead savor the emotional rush you are getting from being a victim. *Sits back, lights pipe, and slightly raises left eyebrow.*

@MarkPaul Such an psychoanalyst....I don't. I just inquired because I'm in confusion what to do over two long standing friends of mine *raises both eyebrows glaring at the smoke*
