why I inspire no respect?

[McDamned]

another one was dutch, supposedly a respectful country

Cant help but wonder why you are judging an entire country for the action of a single person? So now every dutch male is disrespectful because of your bad experience?

Every country has its neanderthalers or people that behave as such, men or women alike, as there are kind people as well. To me it would seem very shortsighted to call your entire country shortsighted because you are making this statement which in itself seems very shortsighted and prejudiced imo.

we were just talking about countries, and that comment meant exactly what you said: that even in a respectful country like the NL there are some weirdos, maybe that wasn't clear

Just because someone's from a certain place doesn't mean they'll always be how you expect them to be. Whatever the area is known for doesn't mean absolutely everyone fits into that mold.

For me, if the person is constantly negative and I have no idea how to help them, I'll withdraw from them.

Hope you didn't mean me

I just want to say that it is really important, I think, to know which **** is your **** and which belongs to the other guy, and never own the other guy's ****. He's gotta own his own. And you get to like yourself and the kindness you show.

Nope, not you, friend.
