A lack of respect by others is very painful and hurtful.

I don't feel I have ever really had true respect from people IRL (no-one here at PC)(or I had raised them myself)

@Amyjay gave a good explanation in another thread.

Thank you to posters who show respect to others through support and loving kindness no matter how depressed someone is feeling.
