How to deal with disrespect and arrogance?

[Shivastorm_88]

I have a tendency to brush it off and let others talk me down or talk down things I care about without defending myself, or even let people be arrogant/insolent toward me or, once again, things I care for. This is situation I've noticed recently and I've been doing that for a while, what would be the best way to deal with disrespect or disrespectful comment without approaching it like an AFC or a pissed off little *****?

vs males or females?

If there's nothing to be gained by doing so, then why bother?

Who cares if people think you what care about is stupid crap?
