Other people do what other people do and treat you or me or anyone however they like. That's their prerogative. All we can control is ourselves, our own behavior. It is hard enough to understand ourselves and what we think and feel and how we would like to act without trying to get others to do things how we would like them to. All we control is what we want to do about what we think and feel is going on around us.

If someone does not respect you, you do not hang around with that someone (or, as I have done in work situations, you make yourself as scarce as you can when someone you do not like/who does not respect you is around).

No one else is in charge of making your wishes come true besides you. They have their own wishes (your grandmother wished the rugs put in the trash, for example). True, some people who love and like us and who we ask for help from might readily give it to us but there are no guarantees. We have to strive to be clear in our communications but people who ignore us, obviously do not like/respect us and we don't hang around those sorts of people or we're bound to get depressed and start to feel badly about ourselves if we're not careful. Yawns, smiles, good moods and bad are contagious; tests have verified those things as true; if you are around people who disrespect you, the only thing you can do, the best thing to do for yourself is go find those who do not.
