Answer 2

Our innermost thoughts and feelings affect what we talk about and even how we look and feel and how we may act in future. I wouldn't necessary give respect where it is not earned-how does that help them change??

Flawless friends (i.e., those who never complain, are always loving, never have moods, are fixated on us, and never disappoint us) are known as pets.” If we don’t want to end up with pets as our closest friends, we need to heed some advise." There are things we shouldn't just accept.  Or ignore. You get what you allow. If you don't allow it -it won't keep happening.

Many people select friends merely on the basis of whether they “hit it off” or not—how they feel when they are around them. Naturally, we like to be with people who make us feel good. But if that is the only criterion for our choice, with little or no thought given to a person’s real inward qualities, we may be headed for great disappointment.

To begin with, we must have our own good values. We need to know what is right and wrong, good and bad, and hold firmly to high principles all the time. That is if you want good friends. A real good friend  is also capable of reprimanding us

You shouldn't be disrespectful--but sometimes that is all some people understand, Sad but true,

Answer 3

Depends on whether you depend on this person for anything or owe allegiance in some way.  Generally, I just walk away from random disrespect (as it's not worth enlarging) and avoid further dealings if possible.  There are times when you just have to kowtow to someone. Course, there are people who would say, "the h**l I would!" but they're mostly in Boot Hill.  Sometimes you just suck it up and go along to get along.  Hold on to your temper -- it's only worth something when it's under control.

Answer 4

It depends on everyone's opinion, but for me, I always still treat the person with respect even though they don't respect me.

Answer 5

tell then maybe you should respect me more and treat the person good still so the person knows you are not trying to be mean to the person

Answer 6

I just don't do anything the first time. After that, LOOK OUT!!!

Answer 7

Well I tend not to associate with that person anymore. I mean by all means don't mistreat them, but sometimes you have to handle people like that with a wooden spoon. But when people start mistreating you, distant yourself as far as you can.  

Answer 8

depend on what kind of level they have if they are older and wiser or if they are my parent or grandparent I wouldn't be disrespecting to them. If they are other people I don't respect the unrespectables.

Answer 9

This was the best piece of advice I ever gotten from anyone... don't let others change who you are.  If you're the type of person who believes that you should treat everyone with respect, then don't let anyone turn you into a jerk.
