Sign of a lack of respect.

Sometimes friends, bosses, and partners get swamped with work or other engagements. However, if someone repeatedly flakes on you, it can hurt, and it might be a sign they don’t value your time or relationship enough.

 Talk to them about the impact their actions have on you, and ask if anything is getting in the way of commitments on their end.

For a friend/partner: “I’m upset that we had to cancel dinner again the other night. Could you tell me a bit more about why that happened?

For a co-worker/boss: “Have you gotten a cnce to look at that proposal yet?”

“I’d like to move forward with it, but I won’t be able to until it’s approved.”

As a bonus, act powerful and confident to signal you deserve respect: If you’re soft spoken, speak louder and enunciate. Stand with good posture.

They only reach out when they need something.

Is this person there for you, even when they have nothing to gain?

You might show genuine interest in their life, but it’s not a fair relationship if you only receive care and attention back when the other person can benefit.

Imbalanced relationships can make you feel frustrated and disappointed.

Set boundaries for your time and energy by limiting contact with that person and saying “no” when they ask too much of you.

We live in a society that is gradually becoming more disrespectful, and with that anger has come to amount in disregard. We exist in a point of time when being impolite seems like the way to live, but nothing could be farther from reality.

It is important to develop a positive spirit to get through anything in life.

Never accept disrespect from anyone for any reason, walk away however important things are.

Yes, it can be tough to say, “I was wrong,” but in a relationship, sometimes you’ve got to. “My grandma used to say, ‘Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?”

As a creature, we’re all free to a certain level of self-esteem and value. It is easy to get ahead of ourselves, however, it takes honesty and takes significant knowledge on how to respect both yourself and others.

 When somebody disrespects us, it can be tough to digest the fact that someone did, but learning to conquer that disrespect is possible with a little accepting nature, consideration and understanding that not the whole world will not always be nice to you.

Thank you ….Why do we feel disrespected?

We all love being loved and respected and there hardly would be a person who would like being mistreated by others. There indeed are some reasons behind this feeling.

There indeed are some reasons behind this feeling.

Disrespect means a lack of respect towards something or someone that may include showing contempt or even hurling insults.

Some people may find it extremely painful dealing with disrespect while some don’t even faze a bit. Some get angry at being made fun of really quickly while some tolerate up to an extent before giving up.

Disrespect in relationships most commonly manifests as a power imbalance where one person feels underappreciated or undervalued by their partner.

Disrespect in relationships can come in many forms, such as mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Over time disrespect can build into resentment and even abuse, creating a cycle of toxic behavior.

The truth is that there are people who lack self-control and they do not think twice before behaving rudely with others, be it out of anger or resentment and they don’t even care who is it they are disrespecting but the problem lies with their minds, not with them.

Their thoughts and emotions completely take over them and they end up behaving negatively.

But, can people really disrespect us and if they do, do they really intend to hurt us or they are just behaving in a manner that they seem fit?

The truth is, what we call disrespect is nothing but our own inability to accept other’s unexpected way of behaving.

People do not disrespect us, they can’t, and it is just our perspective that makes us feel that we are getting mistreated by them basically due to our inflated egos.

Do you want to add a word or two?….

Disrespect is not even a feeling or emotion, it is just our perception towards someone’s behavior but it definitely can give birth to various negative emotions, like sadness, anger, resentment, helplessness, worthlessness, etc.

Being made fun of by your friends may be considered as an act of disrespect by you while to them, it would be just a fun exercise.

It’s all in our minds. We have notions about everything like children should obey their parents, people should never yell at others, one should not ignore the other, etc, but when those things happen, our intellect sees it as a threat to our beliefs which hurts us.

What others do cannot be the problem, it should not be because no one would change oneself just to please you so the blame should lie on your expectations instead.

Therefore know that no matter how people behave with you or treat you, no one has the power to make you feel disrespected or even respected for that matter; or in other words, disrespect is just a state of mind and nothing more.

Your comments ….

Can we stop people from disrespecting us?

Nope. No matter how hard you try, you just cannot change another person’s behavior towards you because each person has his liking-disliking, way of behaving, way of speaking, way of thinking, etc and therefore you cannot stop them from behaving in the manner that they seem fit.

In fact, the more you ask people to not disrespect you, the more they will get motivated to make you feel that way; it’s just like a spring, the more you press it the more it exerts a counter-force.

But, there indeed is a way you can prevent yourself from attracting so-called disrespect your way but that involves changing your own behavior towards them, your beliefs about you, and your thought-patterns.

To understand how bringing changing our belief-system can help us change people’s behavior towards us, let’s first see what the reasons are that make us feel disrespected.
