I was raised that respect is something that should be given, not something that is earned right off the bat. For instance; if I meet someone off the street, I’m not going to automatically treat them disrespectfully. BUT if I become “friends” with this person I expect to be treated with respect as well. Now if they start lying, back stabbing & bringing too much negativity into MY life- sorry but that respect is lost & it isn’t easy to get back.

It just drives me nuts when people automatically talk trash & crap yet think they deserve some type of respect for that... sorry but no

Opinions?
