It is impossible to build friendly relationships properly if people do not respect each other.
However, we cannot always know about this.
Friends spend time together quite often because they enjoy socializing and visiting different places and events. Without personal meetings, it is difficult to maintain a relationship.
If a person cancels appointments too often and does not seek new ones, then this indicates a lack of interest and respect.
If your friend constantly treats you condescendingly, considering you less experienced, educated and smart, then this means that he has no respect for you.
Friends, as a rule, have equal status in a relationship, experts note.
You should analyze the moments when a person most often gets in touch. If at such moments a friend gets personal benefits (borrows money, complains about work or partner, asks for help or advice), then this does not quite look like friendship.
The friend is simply trying to use the person, which shows a lack of respect.
