Dealing with people for whom being respected/disrespected is a big deal feels really awkward, like writing with my left hand. I have to kinda model them in some sort of janky emulation mode. I can detect respect/disrespect but don’t have a strong response to it.

Interaction I’ve occasionally had with petty bureaucrat types: 1: They disrespect me without consequences 2: I don’t react beyond, keep my end civil 3: They get mad and escalate to add hurdles 4: I address hurdles but still have no genuine reaction 5. Now they’re really mad...

Sometimes I think if I were a good enough actor to fake a slight reaction at step 1 I could avoid the escalation. Disrespect seems to often be a plea for recognition/respect in the form of a humiliation/anger performance.

I think the perception and reaction to respecf/disrespect comes from environment, culture, family, etc. I follow you because you excel existing and exploring in the intellectual and philosophical realm. That predisposition probably leads to analytical vs emotive reaction.
