I tend to treat everyone well, but if someone disrespects me in some way, or devalues my friendship, I won't treat them in the same way, but I may just back away, and keep my distance. I don't believe you need to stoop to someone's level, or seek revenge simply because they have wronged you. But, just curious how you all approach things like this?
I give everyone a basic amount of respect. After that, I reward kindness with kindness.
I don't find revenge or grudgery to be good for my own well-being, so I don't engage in them, but if someone has been consistently rude to me I may on occasion say something. Generally, my MO is to keep them out of my life, and only explain if they ask.
Here online, I will return rudeness for rudeness.
