Absolutely not. She may be jealous.

Nah, I usually find myself being friends with women who aren't really fighters. I like my friends adventurous but level headed. I don't have time for drama. It defeats the purpose of friendship

If they are using personal insults (especially unwarranted) then they are mean spirited by nature. Plus, when someone tells you how they really feel (like if they called you ugly) then that's how they truly see you.

Friendly: Yes...but depending on what is meant by “disrespect”
Friends: No


EDIT - didn’t realize this was a Salon thread. My bad.
EDIT 2 - my point still stands.

 

[Yo Mama]

Depends.

Humans... No one is perfect. If we "cancelled" everyone who upset us...

Sure. I’m not sensitive and I don’t hold grudges. I’m also good at discerning intentions.

When you say disrespect there’s a lot of flavors to that. Are they simply passionately disagreeing with you, or are they trying to humble and insult you personally?

My clap backs can be surgical and nasty, but I don’t dwell in that energy field for long and I’m quick to forgive because I’ve probably given as well as I’ve gotten.

Btw what happened? Why is op banned?

 

[fckyoupayme]

No. I cannot be friendly however I won’t be mean either. I won’t give any attention or energy at all


Damn what did @Yinny get banned for?

I walk by people trying to talk to me all the time and pretend like they don't even exist. Never take disrespect from people if you family or a close friend we can work it out if not you getting treated like a stranger.

Like a previous poster said if they disrespecting you for no reason that's how they view you so theres no point in tryna be around them

Preciate it I meant more along the lines if they ever apologize.


I will NEVER and never have peaced up with someone who’s disrespected me.
But some have apologized, which I may accept but that person is still dead to me. Just wanted other opinions.

Forgiveness doesn't mean you forget or trust. We are taught early to watch what we say and how we say it because sometimes words can cause more damage than fisticuffs. I can be cordial, maybe even friendly but that doesn't mean I forgot what was said or that I trust you or that if we bump heads again that I won't bring it back up.

It’s a little beyond that, words don’t always damage depending on who’s speaking them (if I don’t care about you or value your opinion but I’m gonna still argue lmao-have stopped) I get appalled that someone even had the audacity. This isn’t a frequent occurrence however but wanted to know what other adults think. I never played with anyone saying what the hell they “feel” is their truth any kind of way, even family. Especially about me.
