Have you ever lost respect for someone you used to admired?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

What happened?

For me it was two people. First one talked a lot about ideals, and how he was all-loving, friend to everyone... and in private absolutely talked smack about people. Even said he was laughing to himself when he heard about people dying in a tragedy because they were refugees. Never met someone as two-faced as this guy.

Second one acted and could pass as a determined, no-bullsh*t woman, ex-military... and then revealed herself to be literally "incapable of functioning without a man" (her own words), literally acting like a dog getting whistled at. Tried to help her, she literally asked me to slap her.

What about you?

@GirlsAskGuys, could you please fix the question?

Plenty, Selfish people period , people that only really care about themselves that don’t have a heart for other’s , that think their shit don’t stink , they will be friendly to your face but backstab you the second you aren’t around , mainly because they are jealous of you, for whatever reason , Sadly I have lost respect for a lot of people though my lifetime , why I have a harder time trusting people and giving my heart to someone cuz they take it for granted and shit on it , As I gotten older you start to realize most people are straight up assholes , especially these days , and will do you dirty if you give them th opportunity Io do so , , because they are selfish and only think what is best for them , I give the award to Girls for being most selfish , even though guys can be selfish as well , I just experienced more selfishness with girls these days than I have with guys. A girl will spread her legs to another guy just because she is attracted to his status , his career , his role in something , she will compare her current partner to some douchebag guy that is telling her everything she wants to hear , so he can bang her , once he bangs her , he eventually kicks her to the curb where she belongs , Why girls’ fall for that shit is beyond me , Girls’ have a easier time being controlled an manipulated by their toxic girl friends as well , that will encourage her to do dumb shit by cheating on her partner and filling her head up with garbage that she can do better than the man she already has , they do it because they are jealous of what she has , but the second the toxic friends meet a man , they kick her to the curb , leaving her with nothing , I have witnessed and experienced this shit unfold plenty of times , but girls’ still fall for the stupidity and can’t wrap their brains around it. A guy mainly cheats because intimacy and affection is dying in his current relationship , so he is drawn to a girl that wants to fulfill him and make him feel wanted and valued , A girl will cheat thinking this new guy is going to love her and treat her the way she deserves to be loved because he has better status and is more put together and is treating her better then her current partner is , not realizing he just wants his dick wet , Girls no guy is going to stay with you if he knows you are already in a relationship, He will fuck you but he will not commit to you , He will use you until he meets someone else , he isn’t going to stay committed to a girl that can cheat on her partner because he will feel she will eventually do that to him when she starts getting bored just like she got bored o her current partner , Most guys today are scared to get married to a girl because how selfish girls have become , Most girls I come across on the internet are whores and want money to fuck them , like what happened to this world

yeah it happened recently. there was this blond with big juggs size H knockers. i get that she liked showing them off and she felt it was the only way she could get men and attention in her life but a few weeks ago a few videos of her popped up on reddit. it wasn't porn or anything more like her acting lude and like a slut dancing and behaving as such shaking her big knockers and stuffing a microphone between her giant sized melons and on the floor humping the floor when i saw the videos i lost a lot of respect for her and felt disappointed as i thought she was better then that and held herself to a higher standard then some common slut.

another is of an early 20 year old who is a social media influencer. i found out some things about her that she doesn't think i know all the guys she's screwed when she was trying to become internet famous. when i first found out i was crushed i thought she was better than that but i said to myself it doesn't surprise me as she's only in her early 20's and women her age act like that now a days (these days)

people who you think won't disappoint you or can't disappoint you often do. i should of learned that lesson from all my previous ex's or at least i should of remembered that lesson from my previous exes

[Saarr]

Well yeah, I think the most recent person who lost my respect was my ex. I've loved and admired him during our relationship, which lasted about 2.5 years.
We had had a difficult time and I was losing feelings for him when he casually told me he would have a hard time not hooking up with girls while on vacation with his friends the month after. I honestly couldn't believe my ears and broke up with him on the spot. The following months he kept messaging me saying stuff like 'I'm worthless, my life doesn't matter, I fuck everything up, I can't live without you' and he even threatened to kill himself because he couldn't live without me. Slowly I began seeing him as a pathetic, selfish boy rather than someone to look up to.

I have a friend at school. He was one of the first people I met when I moved there and now I'm seriously reconsidering things. He's been saying some hurtful words like calling people r-words and saying two of the teachers should go kill themselves. This problem classmate tries to make me out to be cold and insane. My friend seems to believe what the classmate says. Problem classmate tells half the story of an incident and makes roughly half the class laugh at me. My friend was in that half. But I can't bring myself to tell him how I feel about his words because he was one of the first people who was nice to me when I first moved here

[OlderAndWiser]

I have a cousin who refused to act like an adult and she took financial advantage of her mother (my aunt) at every opportunity. And her mother had VERY limited financial resources. I totally lost respect for my cousin.

[Guy13]

So far so good on that, however, I pedestal no being so as not to create an unrealistic vision and expectation of a fallen man. There is only moments of Good and most definitely we are Imperfect.

[Guy13]

I am not justifying Mediocrity.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Probably but off the top of my head, no. I don't idolize people easily and my world view kind of prevents that from happening.

I believe that you can't get mad at people for doing what's in their nature. Meaning if you should have seen it coming then you can't be mad at the other person, it's your fault.

That combined with the fact I don't have that kind of deep respect for people easily, it doesn't happen often.

[lightbulb27]

Not like that.

I've had people with deep issues and accepted them, often way too long and thus dis respected myself.

You'll discover all of those issues are deep emotional wounds. Heal the wounds/heart, the opinions change. The man that hates immigrants can turn to love them, when his heart is changed... if ever changes.

[Billlewis]

I've been on the opposite end of the spectrum -- and women who previously respected me began to discover that I'm nothing more than a weak beta male wimp who isn't even remotely close to being worthy of having sex with a woman, and when they started to see me as I truly am, they began to humiliate and degrade me with gusto.

[ArrowheadSW]

Certain former co-workers. People who felt it more important to try to trash people's reputations rather than face their own short-comings or psychological issues.

[Adam1978]

I have lost respect to several people but I wouldn't say I admired them before. That isn't something I do.

[serious]

Of course. Yes, this has happened a few times.

[WhyohWhy69]

Yes. Most of them are men. Some women thought.

[Ms_Facesitter]

A seemingly good person turning full creep once we met.

[Anonymous]

An ex girlfriend. She got drunk and let the lacrosse team f*ck her. She said it wasn't her fault and they took advantage. I was like f*ck off.

[Peachbae]

Yes, a couple of times , this is so because they showed me a different picture, the opposite of what they’ve been showing before

[Nikki1989]

Yes, sometimes getting to know someone can be a huge letdown.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Yes, someone that cheated on her husband for two years.

[SnowedIn]

Quite a few, unfortunately.

[HaveNoName]

Happens a lot in corporate culture.

[Puppystarfish23]

Yes a lot

[Msputiton]

Yes.

[MementoMori777]

Yea it happens

[Anonymous]
