Do any of you have advice for being aware of when you're being disrespected and how to handle it?

Every single day of my fucking life.

I'm Asian right, and compared to the US, where you guys (assuming you're from the US) had contact with Asian immigrants for a long time, here it's relatively new, let's say 50 to 80 years and in very small counts.

So it's pretty normal to me for people to stare, talk shit on the street, laugh, etc.

What changes did you make in your life to stop it happening

The change is fundamentally the way you perceive disrespect, 90% of disrespect I "suffer" is pretty bland, in the sense that it's from people I don't give two shits about.

The real issue with disrespect is when it comes from people you considered worthy of your own respect, then is when it sort of hurts, but instead of seeing it as a negative thing I choose to see the bright side, which is that it's a sign for me to see who around me is worth my time.

In reality I think more guys here should work on the IDGAF attitude, sometimes people get angry at disrespect because of the whole "if I do nothing, then other people will start doing the same", well then fuck those people too, what an excellent, time-efficient way to see who's really an asshole and who's not, as long as you're completely sure who you are and what you're made of, no one, literally no one can take that away from you.
