Sometimes we can imagine disrespect. In other words, we can jump to conclusions without getting all the facts and assume someone is being disrespectful. For example, you walk into a room just in time to see your friends whispering and laughing. As soon as they notice you they stop. As you approach them, they begin to talk in a normal tone of voice. You think that they were talking about you, and you assume they were putting you down. Do you know for a fact they were talking about you? And if they were, how do you know that they were putting you down? The fact is, you dont know. However, if you respond by ignoring them or treating them cruelly in retaliation, you will only make the situation worse and possibly lose your friends.
