How To Control Being Disrespectful

Respect is perhaps one of the most important characteristics or attributes to maintain, but still it is quite hard to define. It can be simply defined as the acknowledgement of the fact that someone has value. It does not matter whether the person is rich or poor, has some kind of ability (or disability); everyone must be respected.

 

Therefore, it becomes really important to know how to control being disrespectful to people and how to deal with disrespectful behavior. Read on to find out how to control this behavior.

 

Respect - You don't have to necessarily love everyone but try and respect them. It is the same with other people; they respect you but they might not necessarily love you. You may never actually make a great friend or a fan of everyone but you certainly do not need to be disrespectful to anybody

 

Know Your Limits - You need to know your limits. You also need to know how much other people can and cannot get away with. But, you need to be sure about yourself first because if you are not sure about your limits, then you cannot just go about talking about the same to other people. You must know clearly that you will not tolerate rude behavior or abuse but being disrespectful for no reason at all is not a good sign. Even if you are subjected to some rude behavior, you can sort it out without being disrespectful.

 

Support - You can also depend on your friends and family for support if you feel that you are not being able to control your rude behavior. You can allow them to be the disciplinarian, even. Support from your friends and family can go a long way in solving such a problem.

 

Control Yourself - Do not get mad over everything. Instead, set the limits and refuse to entertain people who do not respect your limits.

 

Promises - Remember, promises are meant to be kept and fulfilled. Never back down on your commitments and promises that you might have made. This is sure to go down in a wrong way with the other party. If you learn to keep your promises, you will automatically learn to be nice and respectful.

 

No Argument - Try not to argue with anyone. Instead, work out your conflicts with your siblings or friends and family. Alternatively, when you do get angry, count to ten and eventually you will calm down.

 

Be Polite - Respect others to get respect. Be polite with everyone you meet. Remember your manners at all times, especially if you want to control disrespectful behavior.

 

Don't Talk Back - Talking back to someone, especially to elders is the biggest form of disrespect. Do not talk back, roll your eyes or show any kind of negative body language. Control these emotions and you will slowly get better.

 

Communication - Communication is the key to some of the biggest problems in this world. When someone or something is bothering you, talk about it. It helps to vent and work out the problems. Do not keep it inside your mind, as you never know when it can just explode. What you can also do is write down what you feel on a diary or a blog when you do not have anybody to talk to.
