When someone challenges your character, do you reflect or retaliate? What makes you lose respect for someone the fastest?

Well on the character question...

• Someone who actually knows me may have a point about my character. I've done some awful things. Over and over again. So I may listen to them.
• Someone who doesn't know me is just being an asshole or a moron. They get to meet the "other me" and find out just how flawed my character can be.

On the question of losing respect for other people...

• No boundaries or standards and no awareness of other people's boundaries and standards.
• No or low capacity for critical thinking.
• No or low capacity for introspective thought.
• A lack of curiosity in life generally.
• Insecurity. Which causes a lot of other annoying personality problems to manifest.
• An inability to connect the dots that lead from cause to effect.

only if its someone close to me and they are really giving me some kind of man to man or adult speech about something i did or something

The strongest response is calm self‑possession.

I reflect first, always. 🎭 I replay what they said, check if there’s any truth in it, and ask myself if it’s about me or their own projections. Retaliation just feeds drama and I hate that energy.

I lose respect fastest when someone lies, plays victim after doing wrong, or treats “weaker” people badly, like waitstaff or assistants. That reveals character instantly. 🚩

It really depends on what they said and how they said it.

My character has always been a bit shady.
