Dealing with disrespect

If it’s straight disrespect, you address it straight on. DON’T let anyone walk all over you or you’ll appear weak. If it’s teasing, just ignore/shrug it off and maintain frame. Deflect that shit and they’ll see you are confident.

If you don't give off the cues that humans naturally pick up on that you deserve respect, you're not gonna get it. A lot goes in to being respected. Start off by lifting.

You can't walk around angry through life, if everyone is disrespecting you its either all in your head or the problem is you and you have to figure out how to fix it. Walking around with your chest puffed out like a peacock can only get you so far.

You should treat people the way you would like to be treated, and choose to spend your time with those who respect you and ignore those who won't. People rarely change so standing up to someone who disrespects you (imagined or otherwise) will rarely end up working out for you.

Work on yourself (career, body, social skills) and find people who respect what you have to say, and who you are, without you having to brag or puff out your chest.

If it's generally good natured teasing, that means they like you and are comfortable around you.

I find as I age I take things less sensitively. Years ago in tears over something that may have been said at work. Focus your energies with people you find positive. I've been direct but not confrontational. ouch that felt like an insult.
