You've Misplaced Something

Someone Disrespected You

nightclub, singing, 0,9, Disrespect gets under your skin like nothing else. Depending on the situation, it can tear you down as a person and devalue who you are and what you do.

If that doesn't work, try a snarky comeback- especially if it's not a close friend or family member, sarcasm is a wonderful tool!

A Flaky Friend
