how do you respect
How do you respect somebody who does not respect themselves; therefore, making it likely they do not respect others.....
My first suspicion, ...help them past that harsh self-inner voice would be a good start. As just read about...this voice is most likely developed from childhood and is most likely not even relevant in adulthood...but it is still something that needs to be addressed in adulthood.
It is a vicious cycle...one feeding the other....making things internally darker in the suffering mind.
By the way...this is a real experience I am tending with as I type this. It is emotionally painful....especially when it is a person that is very close. Something tells me...a lot of this is going on given the recent climate of society and Covid.

and of course depending....
If a good drowning with a bottle of cop on doesn't do the trick, maybe a good slap in the back of the head will... if that fails, keep in mind NOT to slap the face of God

I appreciate the reference to God.
I appreciate your insight. Thank you.
Just observe, if your serious (? if) be a friend
That is a great perspective....one I try to practice all the time. I have never acted this way with somebody in my entire life. I am finding that sometimes things are very challenging.
Not to mention...the closer somebody is to you...usually, the higher the emotional engagements.
I will work my way back to that...but just it will take a bit of time.
Thank you for your input.
So I can make a donation
You can empathise, support, be a good friend... But respect should be for respectable behaviour.
The latest with this situation is that I apologized to him. I will not become a hateful and angry person. I will still use rational thought and reason.
Please launder at your soonest convenience.
No application necessary
I tried living with not respecting him for 4 days and the weight that brought to my life was next to impossible to live with. I am not that type of person.
Thanks for your great words.
Thank you for your words.
No.
I have an issue equating the writer's interpretation of self-respect with selfishness.
Again, thank you for sharing.
