Every time you interact with someone you should give them a base level of respect. How they respond determines the amount of respect you continue to proceed with.

    But that’s my point. If they’re disrespectful then you lower the amount of respect you give them.

      So if a stranger disrespects me, I should disrespect them more?

      Sounds like a mutual self destructive relationship if you ask me. Someone either has to be the better person, or just walk away.

        Walking away is just as disrespectful as dropping to their level. It sends the same message just with less effort.

        Eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, but if you can’t avoid a fight, ftw. Not words, talk is cheap, but in my corner of the world guns are ubiquitous too. There’s a difference between doormat/whipping person and hostile but at the end of the day, survival instinct is strong.

      I disagree with you that there is a minimum anyone deserves.

      Past a certain point you are disrespecting yourself to allow them to be in your presence or have any contact with you.
