Years ago a man told me he didn’t respect me. I couldn’t understand why he disrespected me. He said he didn’t disrespect me. I hadn’t fallen within specific parameters he felt necessary for me to fit into how he defined “respect”. The definition above comes closest for me to better live with. But, still, there must be more I thought.
