People who make me feel like crap or worse off then when I encountered them consistently are written off and out of my life

Doesn’t matter if its family, nobody is entitled to your attention and suffering and it does nobody any real good for you to succumb to the inevitable dysfunction it creates in your life and relationships and also material conditions.

    Everyone deserves respect.

    Respect is in fact, not earned.

    One loses respect due to their behavior.

      This bigly. Everyone innately deserves respect. You can absolutely lose it for being a wanker.

      “Respect is earned” needs to die in a fire.

      I like to say that everyone is deserving of respect, but few are deserving of deference.
