would you stop being friends with someone who does not respect you?

Well, of it comes to the self respect then i will break the friendship. If a friend does anything out of your selfself to you then she/he doesn't worth it

Hi, it is totally depend whether my friend is just joking with me or get thing serious. Of course, I am not that petty type, I can forgive my friend as long as they don't hurt my feelind deeply. However, I also want people to respect me as I do respect them as well.

Respect is very much important in any kind of relationship and even to friendships. If a person does not respect me at all despite giving him/her my respect and loyalty, it is not worth it to be friends to him/her. Respect is like trust. without it, the friendship will be useless.

Hello,Chiyosan! I think respect for a person doesn't means what you show in your example.Because if I'm an animal lover(and I am lol),maybe other people like to eat that dog(LOL...I can't do it!).So,if I respect him,I must to accept this,like he must to accept my traditions or my beliefs. So,in my opinion,respect means accept other people beliefs!And if someone don't show me respect,why should I be friend with him?Friendship means reaspect lol..I can't be friend with this kind of people! Happy lotting!

she knows that you are already annoyed, right? so she should stop. everyone can tell jokes or kid but only to a certain limit. i guess she isn't aware that she is already hitting beyond the limits. if i were in your shoes, i'll probably still be friends with her for now. but the moment that i'd had enough, well, it's a goodbye for her. but before that happens, i'll tell her that her jokes isn't funny anymore, that it already pisses me off and i don't want those words again. if she stops, fine then. if she does not, ------.

Of course I would, if she didnt respect me why should I respect her. I could find many friends who respect me and love me

I guess I would stop being friends with such a person. We cannot choose how we were born, but we can choose our friends. Friends are defined to be help each other, share the pain and happiness together. And showing respect to each other is the foundation. People can easily get hurt by frineds.

That would be my friend's personality and I would have to respect it for she is my friend. If I was an animal lover I would be aware that there is also animal eaters, you know. And if I have a friend like that I would stay friends with him or her because I like that person for who she/he is. Maybe your not friends from the start. Your question is quite odd from my perspective but that is you.

Oh I WILL STOP! not to be friends with someone who can't respect me. Yes respect is earn but I believe to myself that I deserve it. If a friend can't treat me a human what the friends are for? Dignity and respect is important to me as human, if anyone can't make it to me then I will fight for it expect it that I won't respect them as well.

i think both of you need to respect each other.she should respect you as animal lover while you too need to do the same thing.yes in this case i agree that she she did not respect you as an animal lover even if you have stopped her from doing that.then you could discuss about it with your friend.sometimes we need to make it clear for some people like her that we can't accept her attitude.see how she answer it to you.if she did not say sorry or ask for pardon then i think you should stop being friends with her or still continue being her friend but stop accompany her when you eating outside as this will bother you much and she did not care about it.

Well I wouldn't want to be friend with someone who disrespect me but still it depends on what they did to me. If it is about something they eat and you do not eat, and we first must realise, that just because they are our friends means they are bound to be like us too. no, they also can do what they want and believe what they want. if you are an animal lovers, and if you don't like your friend eating meat in front of you as you already know they eat meat, then you should be with friends that same as you. those friends maybe want you to respect them too that they eat animal and that is what they are. You can always be honest if the jokes were not funny or that you had enough and you are leaving right that moment if they don't care how you feel. then you can decide from there :)

My question is why she or he did not respect us? Respect is really much needed in friendship. We could not be friend if there is not respect, how came ? Human being is socialized creature which respect is as a bridge to achieve it. It is definitely clear that respect is must to have in undergoing our relationship, okay.

Losing her "friendship" would not big lost on my part. I believe that when somebody does not respect you that is a sign that she does not value you nor respect you as a friend. She has a big problem mentally. What I will do is pray that she will realize the true meaning of friendship and maybe in the future when she learns that you might reconnect again. Forgive her even if she does not deserve it.

I feel like this chiyosan there is no friendship without respect because without that respect there is nothing.I was also taught to forgive and forget but somethings is not to be looked over because if you let them get away with something that you just dont like then they going to keep doing so i think that its best that you put a end to it before it gets started!!

Depends on the intentions of your friend at the time. If she was just doing it to bug you or be disrespectful than no, I wouldn't be friends with her. But if it was just in fun or she was just hungry than I wouldn't let it affect my friendship but I would have a serious talk with her about it, especially since it really offended you to the point that you started a discussion about it. I think you should have shown her some respect as well, as, you shouldn't have asked her to leave the table. If she chooses to eat meat than that is just as much her choice as it is your choice not to. So as this discussion is 12 months old, are you still friends with her? Just wondering if this was that serious for you that you gave up your friendship with her. I know it is your belief but other people have their beliefs as well and those need to be respected too. Cheers my friend and happy mylotting, Chris

It is evident that this person does not want to be your friend.

In every relationship respect is very important. I respect all my friends and it includes their beliefs and individuality. That's the reason I also expect them to respect me. I would never have a friend who does not respect me and other people.

Hi Chiyosan!. I will not stop be friend with someone because their eating habit or they eat something that I don't like. I think if I don't wanna making friend with someone its because their attitude and make fun of you to others. I thing if we wanna have positive life we need to hang out with positive people who gave us strength to carry on when we fall and not the one who lower your life motivation.

Maybe I'll try to ask myself if I can still handle the things she's doing to me. And if I can't then I will just confront her why is she doing that! Sometimes it's nice to confront the people who is doing bad or hates you. It's a sign of leadership and COURAGE!

Of course, respect has the major role in every relationship, you can never trust a person who disrespect you because of one thing, there is no mutual understanding between you. Disrespect happens when there is lack of communications, so If I were you I would better leave them. It's their lost, not yours.
