    People who ask this kind of question almost always have an extremely broad interpretation of disrespect. It's like they go looking for things to be "disrespected" for. Most people aren't disrespecting you.

    If you don't like someone's behavior, don't spend time around them and move on with your life. If you generally like it, but in a particular case you feel disrespected, get over it and move on with your life. If it's a coworker or situation where you can't get away, just try to ignore it and focus on doing your job/etc. Respect is highly subjective.

    Respect yourself and only do things which are in accordance with your self respect. Let other people worry about themselves.

    I see harmony as a core value of society, so I try to live with consideration toward others. In return, as harmony requires, I expect consideration from them as well. Whenever someone breaks this pact, I get riled, though to what level depends on the situation. I don't pay much heed to random asshats I don't know, but if it's a person I know or even someone I care about it can affect me quite a lot. Context dictates how I respond, though as a rule of thumb strong emotions tend to hamper attempts, so when I recognize I'm upset it's a good idea to deal with that first. I haven't yet been in a situation where it's helpful to explode.
    Now you see it. Now you don't.

    As long as it's not physical, probably nothing. I'm not very tough but I'll fight back if it's physical, even if I'll lose. It's the point of the matter.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Depends on my leverage... it’s not about pride, if that’s what you are asking. Depending on the setting and thus the leverage, being disrespected can be a very good thing, if you react to it appropriately. You need to think, what reaction will have the most benefit to me in the short and long term... it should never be... ‘BUT MUH PRIDE’...

    I either ignore them because I can rarely be bothered to reply whenever people are acting like retards, or I tell them to fuck off.

    Context is everything, I can deal with people calling me names because frankly the amount of things I've been called growing up has desensitized me. But one thing I do not tolerate is people who talk shit about my parents or my siblings, thats not really me being insulted though since it is my family being insulted and not me.

    I need context, situation, reasoning.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    'bennin' is street slang here in the UK, I think it means 'finding someone amusing in a you're not so tough way'. I am not naturally very 'street' so I might be saying it wrong lol.

    I would make a scene and purposely fail miserably and make a fool of myself, Thereafter I would lock myself in my house for serveral years while having people spread rumors stating the cause of my chosen solidarity was the aforementioned occurence. I would pretend to kill myself but instead leave the country in secret.

    Many years later I would return using a new identity and having undergone extensive plastic surgery, I would acquaintance myself with his/her now 18 year old daughter and I would show her the time of her life and eventually marry her, the friction this would cause between her and the disrespectee I would use to drive a wedge between the two and once again migrate.

    Years later when said disrepectfull person is fading away after a long and difficult life I would reunite my wife with her lost parent and the moment she leaves his side to go to the toilet I'd whisper in his ear;"Remember when you called me a doofus?". The shock would cause him a heartattack. The end.

    It can only be considered disrespect if you let it be.

    Generally speaking, who cares?

    If I'm able to, I'll leave the situation. People like that are never worth the time and effort.

    Depends on the level of disrespect

    If it's verbal I just smile and pretend I didn't understand it. Afterwards I just laugh.
