How do you feel when you are disrespected?

I wonder, how do you feel when people disrespect you just because they are insecure about their own selfish selves? I am not talking about myself, but others. How do you deal with people who are disrespectful and undeserving? Does Jesus expect you to turn the other cheek when you turn it over again?

When i come across with people who don't bother giving respect to other's or even me, then i never wish myself to god to have such kind of person's around me or my family. If i find any interesting character in them, then i try to become close with and i deal with them such a way that realise themselves in giving respect and value to other's. I never leave anybody, who are close to untill they come in a right track.

Sometimes I just brush them off by laughing at their behavior but sometimes it really hurts when its someone you really care about. I have had few such experiences but when the person was just an acquaintence or a colleague I never had any hassels but when my sister in law created a scene because we had bought a car and a house and they still didn't had that and she made a hue and cry over some gifts I had brought her it pinched and hurt me. I still am hung on the pain and still have to make up with her. I know she is older to em and probably will never say sorry but still I have to forgive her some day but may be I am not ready as yet.

Nothing to ask, I felt very very bad in such time or situation and I try to find out the reason why someone saying or doing such things to me, and if necessary I take revenge in the same manner also, but such cases comes seldom

Pissed off is usually the case with me. Oh yeah, I'll feel vengeful and hateful, but I don't act out on it for the most part. If someone disrespects me, I have every right to give it back to them.

I don't feel when people don't respect me but I don't stand calmly in such situations. If I see the person disrespect my opinions, thoughts or suggestions just because he.her likes his/her own better, I simply quit a conversation and step back. My nerves are more important than proving someone who cares only of him/herself my rights to be right.

In that case, i would remind him of his manners, and i feel sorry for his lack of good education. Disrespect and other bad manners are representing his ill capability of dealing with people and things. That is doomed to influence his performance in his dily life, either at school or in office, or elsewhere. He needs early recognition of the issue and make up for a change. Otherwise, he will suffer the adverse consequence he does successively to others. As for me, i may feel bad for some time, but aware of the fact that unfairness is part of life, and that is a way to temper my inner power, i will take it in plain heart and enjoy my life as usual.

It depends on who is in front of me. If someone whom I love, I would be hurt and angry too. I would justify what I have done, leave the room and explain to them later that I was hurt. If it is a person who I don't care much about, I would get into a fight lol. I could extremely sarcastic and disrespect them further and make sure that the person wouldn't do that again. And I don't know what Jesus expects. Have a nice day!
