I agree!!! Unfortunately for me, when I am thinking, trying to come up with the right words or formulating a response, I tend to involuntarily look up, which some people interpret as eye rolling. This has happened to be a few times with supervisors and teachers. It sucks. I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.

">\n\nAll of you guys need to leave, and not come back before learning how to conduct yourselves properly",
">\n\nUhhhh....... electricity",
">\n\nWell no, in the right context it is disrespectful. Rolling your eyes suggests that you're not taking the matter seriously or that you dont care which is a sign of disrespect towards whoever is speaking with you.",
">\n\nBut I can't control what I think. If I said \"man you're stupid and I don't care what you say\" thats disrespectful. I'm actually showing respect by not saying it.",
">\n\nI mean, actions speak louder than words, right?",
">\n\nIts not really an action tho its just an automatic response. Like gasping or yawning.",
">\n\nbullshit.\nSorry, it was an automatic response. Which is bullshit just like yours.",
">\n\nStill not the same thing. And they get on me for false analogies....",

">\n\nThe disrespect comes from the one who told me a joke and made me laugh.",
">\n\nWhat about if no one said any joke? Because, you know, you are at a funeral.",
">\n\nSo someone's just there randomly laughing at shit? That sounds like a mental illness.",
">\n\nYou have never thought of something funny in your head to make yourself laugh? \nOr hell, maybe you didn't like the person who is buried and decided to laugh at them. You find it funny, so laughing must be appropriate, right?",
">\n\nWhy am I thinking about funny shit at a funeral.",
">\n\nBecause the universe likes to put us in uncomfortable positions sometimes.",
">\n\n“if its stupid or lame, you roll your eyes” - you found the disrespect",

">\n\nWhen you express contempt for something someone else said, it's disrespect.",
">\n\nWhat if what they said is contemptible?",
">\n\nSome people and comments deserve disrespect, still gonna be disrespect",
">\n\nLaughing, crying, and sneezing are all innate, involuntary reactions to certain types of stimuli. Rolling your eyes is a learned behavior. You can’t compare it to those other automatic responses because it’s not the same thing.",

">\n\nLiterally every person in this thread agrees that it is.\nThis is your bad habit. Nobody else's responsibility but you.",
">\n\nThey can choose to not fly off the handle at what is just an innate reaction.",

">\n\nFound the teenager.",

">\n\nYou're oddly specific here.",

">\n\nRolling your eyes is a good way to fast track yourself to a divorce, if you want one.",

">\n\nYour lack of self control is not a justification for disrespect. I personally dont know anyone who reacts to anything by rolling their eyes. Just be mature and communicate.",
">\n\nAnd what if it's not stupid and someone rolls their eyes? Wouldn't it be disrespectful in that case?",
">\n\nIn the eye rollers opinion then it must have been. But you can't fault someone for thinking its stupid.",
">\n\nSo eyerolling is some kind of exceptional thing that is free from criticism? \nIf one has the freedom to eye roll, then someone else has the freedom to criticize the eye roller right? \nOr is it your opinion that besides that everyone who sees an eye roller has to just stfu",
">\n\nMeh, it is disrespectful. It's a way to be disrespectful without having to say That's the dumbest thing I've heard all month, and everyone else who heard it is also dumber for hearing it as well.",
">\n\nBut I didn't say it that's the point.",
">\n\nJust cuz you don’t use words doesn’t mean it’s not disrespectful. Walking away while someone is talking to you, rolling your eyes, slapping someone, and starting to play a game on your phone while someone is talking to you are all disrespectful. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t say anything, your lack of respect still showed.",
">\n\nespecially the way theyre responding to comments",
">\n\nYeah, a natural reaction if you’ve never learned to manage your emotions as opposed to letting them run your life. I’m not talking about being totally monotone rational, either. You need to learn a balance between rational and emotional…which includes healthy, appropriate, respectful expression of honest feelings. Eye rolling is absolutely disrespectful, belittling, and dismissive.",
">\n\nComments: OP is completely wrong and has attitude issues",
">\n\nWhat sounds like mental illness is you refusing to admit that rolling your eyes is simply not an unconditional response. Whether you want to believe it or not, you are doing it intentionally and you can control it. \nYou’re just to much of a b—— to do so.",
">\n\nSame to you",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is a learned reaction. Not natural. I rarely of ever roll my eyes at anything.",
">",
">\n\nJust like raising your middle finger. Or vocalizing the sounds \"fuck you\". Or fingers typing the words fuck you OP. Nothing is disrespectful!",
">\n\nNice try but not the same thing at all. You're talking about thought out actions here. The eye roll is more like a reaction. Its quick, its automatic, no one has to think \"im rolling my eyes now\" it just happens. \nSort of like when telling a lie - no one decides to have their eyes dart around suspiciously, it just happens.",
">\n\nNo. Rolling your eyes is not involuntary. It can be controlled. You have a bad habit that you CAN stop. Much like a child learning not to suck their thumb, or biting your nails.",
">\n\nHow about you start with your hair scratching",
">\n\nYour opinion is a contradiction in itself. And, yeah. I disagree. Rolling your eyes is 100% to show lack of respect, and you have no intentions of showing it, even to reason, by rolling your eyes at something someone could believe is meaningful or important. Even if it is stupid.\nI get your point, we roll our eyes to express how we feel, but it is still a physical snare. You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in. If not, you can just accept that you roll your eyes to show lack of respect.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is much more deliberate than laughter, tears, or sneezing. It's a conscious action in response to a judgement you're making.",
">\n\nNah, dude it is disrespectful \nYou just have no self control and by the looks of it you don't want to build some",
">\n\nYour post made me roll my eyes very hard.",
">\n\n“No, officer, my wife - she MADE me hit her!”",
">\n\nIt's a natural reaction for a sooky kid but not an adult, if you do that as an adult you just manchild that wants everything their way",
">\n\npoor OP.... did you get in trouble after you rolled your eyes at something again? did you not prehaps learn from previous interactions? rolling your eyes at something \"stupid or lame\" is an intentional response that is disrespectful to whatever it is. mature people dont act that way.....",
">\n\n\nIf its stupid or lame you roll your eyes.\n\nSo it is disrespectful. \n\nIts like throwing pepper in someone's face an expecting them not to sneeze.\n\nNo it’s not. You can easily (edited in) refrain from rolling your eyes, while it’s much more difficult to refrain from sneezing. \nIt’s fine to think whatever you want, but you might want to refrain from rolling your eyes when you’re, say, interacting with your boss; aka someone that can make you unemployed for whatever reason they please.",
">\n\nThis isn't an opinion. It's just flat wrong. \nIt is disrespectful because it is a conscious signifier which clearly communicated that you think that the thing you are rolling your eyes at is not worthy of respect.",
">\n\nYou have to go out of your way to roll your eyes. It is NOT gutteral or instinctual",
">\n\nIf you annoy me, my arm whips out in a natural reaction and slaps you.",
">\n\nSorry, kiddo, it’s 100% disrespectful. Just own the shit and quit trying to lawyer around it.\nI say that after having rolled my eyes so hard at your post, I travelled back in time.",
">\n\nTell that to my family lol you get the belt",

">\n\nYou can control it. It’s not an “automatic response” unless you’ve taught yourself to do it. I never roll my eyes. It’s just not something I have ever practiced doing. And yes…if I’m saying something too you and you dismiss it with an eye roll…it’s super disrespectful.",
">\n\nrolling your eyes is just as respectful as sticking your tongue out at someone or making a stupid face in reaction to something someone says",
">\n\nIf you can’t control your eye movement, you need to see a neurologist, dude 😆. As it stands, eye rolling isn’t a reflex or a “natural reaction” to anything. Habits aren’t the same as involuntary reactions.\nRolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful. It’s an outward sign that you think something about your interaction with them was stupid or wrong. There’s no one here that will agree with you, and you know that you’re in the vast minority with this opinion because you posted it on this sub.

">\n\nUnless you have a tick or something like Tourette’s syndrome, then it’s not an involuntary response.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

">\n\nI used to roll my eyes often because I have bad eyeshit, and doing it relieved eye strain. I couldn't tell you the amount of times this got me in shit.",

">\n\nwow an actual unpopular opinion. i don’t agree with it but good on you for actually having one on this sub.",
">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

Unfortunately for me, when I am thinking, trying to come up with the right words or formulating a response, I tend to involuntarily look up, which some people interpret as eye rolling. This has happened to be a few times with supervisors and teachers. It sucks. I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum."

Rolling your eyes is 100% to show lack of respect, and you have no intentions of showing it, even to reason, by rolling your eyes at something someone could believe is meaningful or important. Even if it is stupid.\nI get your point, we roll our eyes to express how we feel, but it is still a physical snare. You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

It may feel that way to you, because you've done it so much - but there are plenty of people who don't do it. UNLIKE people who don't sneeze at pepper, or cough at dust.

It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

">\n\nI'm kind of curious if this is true though. Are you assuming this, or do you have some kind of study proving this? I'd actually like to see if your hypothesis is true, or if remote tribes also use this facial gesture.",
">\n\nI’m assuming it. Back in my country Turkey if you rolled your eyes at my grandparents they would be confused and wonder what you were doing and what it meant.",
">\n\nit's a maturity thing, keep rolling your eyes at 30-40, everyone gonna see you like a kid. \nyou gotta control your emotions, there's no need to do a expression when something is stupid or lame, you got a mouth and you respectfully share what's wrong, if the person in the other end is reluctant to stay on the same boat even after you talk about it. then you don't roll your eyes, you gotta say that there's nothing more you can do, and that you don't agree with it, and most likely leave to dodge any sort of problem.",
">\n\nI have a tic where I constantly roll my eyes. I’ve had it since I was little, but never noticed it until years later when I high school teacher yelled at me for disrespect. Apparently my parents took me for evaluation when I was very young and diagnosed Tourette’s but never had any other tics develop. Would have been nice to know 🤦🏼♀️ I just apologize now and say it’s a compulsion if people ask. I don’t even know when I’m doing it",
">\n\nIs laughing disrespectful? Because it can be. Just like rolling your eyes can be. There is a time and place for everything",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is a passive aggressive response. Passive aggression is a tactic used by meek people who are frustrated and don’t have the courage to address a given situation. It’s disrespectful and it lowers your standing in the social hierarchy.",
">\n\nGet back to me when Disney Dad actively encourages your offspring to roll their eyes at you.",
">\n\nYeah it is when I want to be disrespectful to someone I roll my eyes when they make a point. It might be annoying to them, but it also let's them know I don't give a shit about whatever they just said. Now, I would never to it to my boss, or my teachers while I was in college, but when I was a teen I did it all the time because I was an asshole, who didn't care. \nIt's not a natural reaction lmao, it is learned behavior and it can be a bad habit, but it can be unlearned.",

">\n\nYep, thats definitely an unpopular opinion! \nIts certainly disrespectful. And most certainly not some sort of involuntary response like a sneeze. It may feel that way to you, because you've done it so much - but there are plenty of people who don't do it. UNLIKE people who don't sneeze at pepper, or cough at dust. Like, you're just plain wrong on this one. Moreover, I think you're trying to justify/rationalize it yourself rather than address it in a healthy way - a marker suggesting you have some narcissistic tendencies.",

">\n\nIt’s a sign of contempt. The facial expression expert Dr. Eikman could predict how long a barrage would last based on 4 expressions and the frequency used when the couple was interviewed. Eye rolling was one.. in fact you could remove the others and still reasonably predict marriage failures.",
">\n\nI wish it wasn’t disrespectful, because as an expressive person I LOVE a good eye roll. But, it has gotten me into trouble. I do it without even knowing it. I hate that I do… I wish sometimes I could be stone cold. Just like a fish. One expression face only. Blank fish eyes staring into nothingness.\nMy favourite mug says, “I can’t help what my face does when you talk”. There is a reason the the mug is meant to be cheeky.",
">\n\nSeems disrespectful to me because my eyes don't roll on their own, it would be a conscious act.",
">\n\nThis is 100% based on the premis that you can’t control your eyes. Rolling your eyes isn’t a natural movement. You control it.\nLaughing and crying aren’t necessarily controllable.",
">\n\nIn addition to this:\nfinding something somebody said stupid isnt disrespectful - makin fun in an exaggerated way, call em out in a mean way, or think everything they're gonna say next is bs is the disrespectful part.",

">\n\nNah it's kinda rude. Hardly the worst thing ever though. Sometimes though, people roll their eyes to actually think about what they are going to say, though; it's an important thing to distinguish.",
">\n\nI mean, its entire function as an expression is disrespect. that's literally the whole point of rolling your eyes. Natural instinct or not, it still implies disrespect.",
">\n\nI used to roll my eyes often because I have bad eyeshit, and doing it relieved eye strain. I couldn't tell you the amount of times this got me in shit.",
">\n\nLaughing, crying… both can be controlled to an extent. Eye rolls can 100% be controlled. They aren’t a reflex. If they are in your case you should seek medical attention",

">\n\ni would say the same thing.",
">\n\nIs an eye roll just looking up quickly in an exasperated manner or is it moving your view line around a cone?",
">\n\nwow an actual unpopular opinion. i don’t agree with it but good on you for actually having one on this sub.",
">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

Unfortunately for me, when I am thinking, trying to come up with the right words or formulating a response, I tend to involuntarily look up, which some people interpret as eye rolling. This has happened to be a few times with supervisors and teachers. It sucks. I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",
">\n\nI mean it is disrespectful, but maybe the issue is some people expect ceaseless respect all the time, no matter what they do or say.",
">\n\nIf you do something that most people find to be disrespectful, it is. That’s what social norms are."

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I absolutely purposefully roll my eyes sometimes and whoever I'm doing it to would be valid for getting mad. \nBut as someone who can't hide any emotion on their face (literally any, I'm the definition of an open book) there have been plenty of times where people blew up at me or laughed because I rolled my eyes when I didn't even realize I had done it.

I'm on the spectrum so that might have to do with my not being able to hide any emotion (I truly mean that, people can basically read my thoughts just by looking at me, good and bad). \nI think you've purposefully developed a bad habit of being rude to strangers based on assumptions you've made on causal comments they leave. Consider working on that.",

Its not that hard to understand. \nAnyway if i see you.. i dont know having a breakdown after being fired and dumped and start to laugh you'd like that ? \nIf im sad because something good happens to you and show it to you, you would like that ? \nHonestly you are just trying to justify being a bit of a jerk. \nI dont blame you or anything we all are jerks sometime but its what you are doing right now.",

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego. For proof : Even if someone you hate said something intelligent, you might want to roll your eyes just to flatter your ego.",

">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego. For proof : Even if someone you hate said something intelligent, you might want to roll your eyes just to flatter your ego.",

">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in. If not, you can just accept that you roll your eyes to show lack of respect.",

Eye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.
I'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

">\n\nIt is. Wdym?",
">\n\nI agree!!! Unfortunately for me, when I am thinking, trying to come up with the right words or formulating a response, I tend to involuntarily look up, which some people interpret as eye rolling. This has happened to be a few times with supervisors and teachers. It sucks. I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",

">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important."

Eye rolling is absolutely disrespectful, belittling, and dismissive.",

Its quick, its automatic, no one has to think \"im rolling my eyes now\" it just happens. \nSort of like when telling a lie - no one decides to have their eyes dart around suspiciously, it just happens.",
">\n\nNo. Rolling your eyes is not involuntary. It can be controlled. You have a bad habit that you CAN stop. Much like a child learning not to suck their thumb, or biting your nails.",
">\n\nHow about you start with your hair scratching",
">\n\nYour opinion is a contradiction in itself. And, yeah. I disagree. Rolling your eyes is 100% to show lack of respect, and you have no intentions of showing it, even to reason, by rolling your eyes at something someone could believe is meaningful or important. Even if it is stupid.\nI get your point, we roll our eyes to express how we feel, but it is still a physical snare. You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in. If not, you can just accept that you roll your eyes to show lack of respect.",

">\n\n\nIf its stupid or lame you roll your eyes.\n\nSo it is disrespectful. \n\nIts like throwing pepper in someone's face an expecting them not to sneeze.\n\nNo it’s not. You can easily (edited in) refrain from rolling your eyes, while it’s much more difficult to refrain from sneezing. \nIt’s fine to think whatever you want, but you might want to refrain from rolling your eyes when you’re, say, interacting with your boss; aka someone that can make you unemployed for whatever reason they please.",

I absolutely purposefully roll my eyes sometimes and whoever I'm doing it to would be valid for getting mad. \nBut as someone who can't hide any emotion on their face (literally any, I'm the definition of an open book) there have been plenty of times where people blew up at me or laughed because I rolled my eyes when I didn't even realize I had done it.

Its not that hard to understand. \nAnyway if i see you.. i dont know having a breakdown after being fired and dumped and start to laugh you'd like that ? \nIf im sad because something good happens to you and show it to you, you would like that ? \nHonestly you are just trying to justify being a bit of a jerk. \nI dont blame you or anything we all are jerks sometime but its what you are doing right now.",

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

Ooh, this IS an unpopular opinion. Upvoted.
I'd say that rolling your eyes, for most people, is a conscious decision...not an automatic reaction. And pepper doesn't make you sneeze, that's some Loony Toons logic.

">\n\nI'm kind of curious if this is true though. Are you assuming this, or do you have some kind of study proving this? I'd actually like to see if your hypothesis is true, or if remote tribes also use this facial gesture.",
">\n\nI’m assuming it. Back in my country Turkey if you rolled your eyes at my grandparents they would be confused and wonder what you were doing and what it meant.",
">\n\nit's a maturity thing, keep rolling your eyes at 30-40, everyone gonna see you like a kid. \nyou gotta control your emotions, there's no need to do a expression when something is stupid or lame, you got a mouth and you respectfully share what's wrong, if the person in the other end is reluctant to stay on the same boat even after you talk about it. then you don't roll your eyes, you gotta say that there's nothing more you can do, and that you don't agree with it, and most likely leave to dodge any sort of problem.",
">\n\nI have a tic where I constantly roll my eyes. I’ve had it since I was little, but never noticed it until years later when I high school teacher yelled at me for disrespect. Apparently my parents took me for evaluation when I was very young and diagnosed Tourette’s but never had any other tics develop. Would have been nice to know 🤦🏼♀️ I just apologize now and say it’s a compulsion if people ask. I don’t even know when I’m doing it",
">\n\nIs laughing disrespectful? Because it can be. Just like rolling your eyes can be. There is a time and place for everything",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is a passive aggressive response. Passive aggression is a tactic used by meek people who are frustrated and don’t have the courage to address a given situation. It’s disrespectful and it lowers your standing in the social hierarchy.",

Now, I would never to it to my boss, or my teachers while I was in college, but when I was a teen I did it all the time because I was an asshole, who didn't care. \nIt's not a natural reaction lmao, it is learned behavior and it can be a bad habit, but it can be unlearned.",

">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",

">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

Its not that hard to understand. \nAnyway if i see you.. i dont know having a breakdown after being fired and dumped and start to laugh you'd like that ? \nIf im sad because something good happens to you and show it to you, you would like that ? \nHonestly you are just trying to justify being a bit of a jerk. \nI dont blame you or anything we all are jerks sometime but its what you are doing right now.",

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",

The reason why they were respected is because they didn’t play any superiority game on front of… inferiors or ignorant people. If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego. For proof : Even if someone you hate said something intelligent, you might want to roll your eyes just to flatter your ego.",

">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",

The reason why they were respected is because they didn’t play any superiority game on front of… inferiors or ignorant people. If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego. For proof : Even if someone you hate said something intelligent, you might want to roll your eyes just to flatter your ego.",

">\n\nwow an actual unpopular opinion. i don’t agree with it but good on you for actually having one on this sub.",
">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

Unfortunately for me, when I am thinking, trying to come up with the right words or formulating a response, I tend to involuntarily look up, which some people interpret as eye rolling. This has happened to be a few times with supervisors and teachers. It sucks. I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",

">\n\nIf your mother tells you to clean up after yourself and you roll your eyes at her expect what happens next because it's disrespectful as hell",
">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

Rolling eyes is generally disrespectful, and it’s something you can control (barring some medical conditions). To say you can’t stop an eye roll means you have no discipline. Or would you eye roll in a job interview or on a date if someone asked a question you thought was lame?

It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home.

I wouldn't say rolling ones eyes is natural, it's habitual maybe if you've learned the habit but that's certainly not the way most people naturally react..
Putting aside that debate
Most people who roll their eyes, do so when they're already in the act of being rude about something, or condescension, or have been proven wrong and won't take the humble ground or they're narcicistic
People may disagree but at least for me personally, when you roll your eyes it's a huge pet peeve of mine...it's a behavioural choice imo

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home.

Side note: upvote this comment if you were a teenager at one point and can't remember or basically never rolled your eyes
I'll start: I never did that as a reaction , except for a few freak occasions. I did however laugh awkwardly or get combative.

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

">\n\nI mean it is disrespectful, but maybe the issue is some people expect ceaseless respect all the time, no matter what they do or say.",
">\n\nIf you do something that most people find to be disrespectful, it is. That’s what social norms are.",
">\n\nWho hurt you?",
">\n\nProbably their parents",
">\n\nSaid like a true narcissist..",
">\n\nI do it often, even when I’m not mad, and people sometimes think I am angry at them",
">\n\nIf your mother tells you to clean up after yourself and you roll your eyes at her expect what happens next because it's disrespectful as hell",
">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",
">\n\nSounds like you're mad your parents called you out for disrespectful behavior",
">\n\nI think OP is just gonna roll his/her eyes at every comment in here.",
">\n\nOoh, this IS an unpopular opinion. Upvoted.\nI'd say that rolling your eyes, for most people, is a conscious decision...not an automatic reaction. And pepper doesn't make you sneeze, that's some Loony Toons logic.",
">\n\nYeah actually it does make you sneeze...black pepper anyway.",
">\n\nYou're stupid. My natural reaction to your thought.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is not a natural reaction lol you drama princess",
">\n\nno, its disrespectful and thats why i do it",
">\n\nRolling eyes is generally disrespectful, and it’s something you can control (barring some medical conditions). To say you can’t stop an eye roll means you have no discipline. Or would you eye roll in a job interview or on a date if someone asked a question you thought was lame?",
">\n\nAre you saying you can’t control the expressions of your own face?? You should get that checked by a medical professional. \nRolling your eyes is nothing like sneezing or laughing, you seem to be fishing for an excuse or defense to be disrespectful",
">\n\nLearn to control your face. The real world won’t treat you well, and it will be no one’s fault but yours.",
">\n\nI wouldn't say rolling ones eyes is natural, it's habitual maybe if you've learned the habit but that's certainly not the way most people naturally react..\nPutting aside that debate\nMost people who roll their eyes, do so when they're already in the act of being rude about something, or condescension, or have been proven wrong and won't take the humble ground or they're narcicistic\nPeople may disagree but at least for me personally, when you roll your eyes it's a huge pet peeve of mine...it's a behavioural choice imo"

">\n\nespecially the way theyre responding to comments",
">\n\nYeah, a natural reaction if you’ve never learned to manage your emotions as opposed to letting them run your life. I’m not talking about being totally monotone rational, either.

Eye rolling is absolutely disrespectful, belittling, and dismissive.",
">\n\nComments: OP is completely wrong and has attitude issues",
">\n\nWhat sounds like mental illness is you refusing to admit that rolling your eyes is simply not an unconditional response. Whether you want to believe it or not, you are doing it intentionally and you can control it. \nYou’re just to much of a b—— to do so.",

">\n\nJust like raising your middle finger. Or vocalizing the sounds \"fuck you\". Or fingers typing the words fuck you OP. Nothing is disrespectful!",
">\n\nNice try but not the same thing at all. You're talking about thought out actions here. The eye roll is more like a reaction. Its quick, its automatic, no one has to think \"im rolling my eyes now\" it just happens. \nSort of like when telling a lie - no one decides to have their eyes dart around suspiciously, it just happens.",
">\n\nNo. Rolling your eyes is not involuntary. It can be controlled. You have a bad habit that you CAN stop. Much like a child learning not to suck their thumb, or biting your nails.",
">\n\nHow about you start with your hair scratching",
">\n\nYour opinion is a contradiction in itself. And, yeah. I disagree. Rolling your eyes is 100% to show lack of respect, and you have no intentions of showing it, even to reason, by rolling your eyes at something someone could believe is meaningful or important. Even if it is stupid.\nI get your point, we roll our eyes to express how we feel, but it is still a physical snare. You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in. If not, you can just accept that you roll your eyes to show lack of respect.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is much more deliberate than laughter, tears, or sneezing. It's a conscious action in response to a judgement you're making.",
">\n\nNah, dude it is disrespectful \nYou just have no self control and by the looks of it you don't want to build some",
">\n\nYour post made me roll my eyes very hard.",

">\n\n\nIf its stupid or lame you roll your eyes.\n\nSo it is disrespectful. \n\nIts like throwing pepper in someone's face an expecting them not to sneeze.\n\nNo it’s not. You can easily (edited in) refrain from rolling your eyes, while it’s much more difficult to refrain from sneezing. \nIt’s fine to think whatever you want, but you might want to refrain from rolling your eyes when you’re, say, interacting with your boss; aka someone that can make you unemployed for whatever reason they please.",
">\n\nThis isn't an opinion. It's just flat wrong. \nIt is disrespectful because it is a conscious signifier which clearly communicated that you think that the thing you are rolling your eyes at is not worthy of respect.",
">\n\nYou have to go out of your way to roll your eyes. It is NOT gutteral or instinctual",
">\n\nIf you annoy me, my arm whips out in a natural reaction and slaps you.",

I absolutely purposefully roll my eyes sometimes and whoever I'm doing it to would be valid for getting mad. \nBut as someone who can't hide any emotion on their face (literally any, I'm the definition of an open book) there have been plenty of times where people blew up at me or laughed because I rolled my eyes when I didn't even realize I had done it.

I'm on the spectrum so that might have to do with my not being able to hide any emotion (I truly mean that, people can basically read my thoughts just by looking at me, good and bad). \nI think you've purposefully developed a bad habit of being rude to strangers based on assumptions you've made on causal comments they leave. Consider working on that.",
">\n\nSo they point out you’re cultivating a bad habit and blaming other people so you then, blame them? It’s a little spot on don’t you think?",

">\n\nFirst its not automatic. I almost never rolled my eyes. Its much easier to control than laughing crying or sneezing. So you just dont make the effort. Its actually a way to express your feeling. You should know that, its your personnality not a human instinctive reaction. \nAnd yes not respecting something is disrespectful. Its not that hard to understand. \nAnyway if i see you.. i dont know having a breakdown after being fired and dumped and start to laugh you'd like that ? \nIf im sad because something good happens to you and show it to you, you would like that ? \nHonestly you are just trying to justify being a bit of a jerk. \nI dont blame you or anything we all are jerks sometime but its what you are doing right now.",
">\n\nI have to refocus my eyes and most of the time blinking doesn’t cut it. I have a lazy eye and when I look at someone for a long time it unfocuses, so moving the muscle is the only way to reset it.

">\n\nThis is where I go to my training as a kid. What others think of you is none of your business.",
">\n\nUnless you have a tick or something like Tourette’s syndrome, then it’s not an involuntary response. Part of living in a society and not being considered rude is managing your body language.\nLet me put it this way. “Rudeness” in itself is a social concept. That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",

">\n\nIt is shown as a sign of disrespect and it shows weakness. I can’t imagine Gandhi, the queen of England or Einstein roll their eyes in front of random people. The reason why they were respected is because they didn’t play any superiority game on front of… inferiors or ignorant people. If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego. For proof : Even if someone you hate said something intelligent, you might want to roll your eyes just to flatter your ego.",

">\n\nwow an actual unpopular opinion. i don’t agree with it but good on you for actually having one on this sub.",
">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

Unfortunately for me, when I am thinking, trying to come up with the right words or formulating a response, I tend to involuntarily look up, which some people interpret as eye rolling. This has happened to be a few times with supervisors and teachers. It sucks. I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",

">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nno, its disrespectful and thats why i do it",
">\n\nRolling eyes is generally disrespectful, and it’s something you can control (barring some medical conditions). To say you can’t stop an eye roll means you have no discipline. Or would you eye roll in a job interview or on a date if someone asked a question you thought was lame?",

">\n\nI wouldn't say rolling ones eyes is natural, it's habitual maybe if you've learned the habit but that's certainly not the way most people naturally react..\nPutting aside that debate\nMost people who roll their eyes, do so when they're already in the act of being rude about something, or condescension, or have been proven wrong and won't take the humble ground or they're narcicistic\nPeople may disagree but at least for me personally, when you roll your eyes it's a huge pet peeve of mine...it's a behavioural choice imo",
">\n\nSide note: upvote this comment if you were a teenager at one point and can't remember or basically never rolled your eyes\nI'll start: I never did that as a reaction , except for a few freak occasions. I did however laugh awkwardly or get combative.\nI learned rolling your eyes isn't a smart move when I got punched for doing so"

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home.

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

">\n\nwow an actual unpopular opinion. i don’t agree with it but good on you for actually having one on this sub.",
">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

I roll my eyes or my eyes move towards my brain when I’m thinking about something sometimes - it certainly isn’t intentional just an odd human mechanism/characteristic (?). My first job as a server my Manager asked me why I rolled my eyes at a group/table and I was perplexed and played three the events and came to this realization and it’s unfortunate perceptions as you meant no harm or mal intent rather working and answering a question.
Don’t know if that’s common or not but there you are! Lol.

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nI get your point. I absolutely purposefully roll my eyes sometimes and whoever I'm doing it to would be valid for getting mad. \nBut as someone who can't hide any emotion on their face (literally any, I'm the definition of an open book) there have been plenty of times where people blew up at me or laughed because I rolled my eyes when I didn't even realize I had done it. Feel like the people disagreeing with you haven't experienced this problem.",
">\n\nWhat you've done is cultivate a bad habit and then blamed it on everyone else when you repeat your own bad habit unintentionally.\nThis is entirely your fault.",
">\n\nOnly on Reddit would someone so boldly declare something like this to a stranger. I'm on the spectrum so that might have to do with my not being able to hide any emotion (I truly mean that, people can basically read my thoughts just by looking at me, good and bad). \nI think you've purposefully developed a bad habit of being rude to strangers based on assumptions you've made on causal comments they leave. Consider working on that.",

">\n\nWhen did i blame them for my own actions? Could you quote me?

">\n\nFirst its not automatic. I almost never rolled my eyes. Its much easier to control than laughing crying or sneezing. So you just dont make the effort. Its actually a way to express your feeling. You should know that, its your personnality not a human instinctive reaction. \nAnd yes not respecting something is disrespectful. Its not that hard to understand. \nAnyway if i see you.. i dont know having a breakdown after being fired and dumped and start to laugh you'd like that ? \nIf im sad because something good happens to you and show it to you, you would like that ? \nHonestly you are just trying to justify being a bit of a jerk. \nI dont blame you or anything we all are jerks sometime but its what you are doing right now.",
">\n\nI have to refocus my eyes and most of the time blinking doesn’t cut it. I have a lazy eye and when I look at someone for a long time it unfocuses, so moving the muscle is the only way to reset it. If I don’t, people start moving their heads/ bodies trying to focus on my lazy eye. It gets awkward.",
">\n\nThis is where I go to my training as a kid. What others think of you is none of your business.",
">\n\nUnless you have a tick or something like Tourette’s syndrome, then it’s not an involuntary response. Part of living in a society and not being considered rude is managing your body language.\nLet me put it this way. “Rudeness” in itself is a social concept. That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",
">\n\nTo be fair, if your thinking its stupid or lame, then that is dis-respect. I'd agree with this if it was worded like 'More people need to say what they truly think', but I think you sort of missed the mark, OP.",

">\n\nIt is shown as a sign of disrespect and it shows weakness. I can’t imagine Gandhi, the queen of England or Einstein roll their eyes in front of random people. The reason why they were respected is because they didn’t play any superiority game on front of… inferiors or ignorant people. If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego. For proof : Even if someone you hate said something intelligent, you might want to roll your eyes just to flatter your ego.",

">\n\nThis had to be written by someone under the age of 25",
">\n\nRolling your eyes isn’t natural though. It’s cultural or socially learned if that makes sense. Like if you rolled your eyes at a tribe that is disconnected from society they wouldn’t understand that you’re annoyed. So you cant really compare it to laughing.",
">\n\nI'm kind of curious if this is true though. Are you assuming this, or do you have some kind of study proving this? I'd actually like to see if your hypothesis is true, or if remote tribes also use this facial gesture.",

">\n\nit's a maturity thing, keep rolling your eyes at 30-40, everyone gonna see you like a kid. \nyou gotta control your emotions, there's no need to do a expression when something is stupid or lame, you got a mouth and you respectfully share what's wrong, if the person in the other end is reluctant to stay on the same boat even after you talk about it. then you don't roll your eyes, you gotta say that there's nothing more you can do, and that you don't agree with it, and most likely leave to dodge any sort of problem.",
">\n\nI have a tic where I constantly roll my eyes. I’ve had it since I was little, but never noticed it until years later when I high school teacher yelled at me for disrespect. Apparently my parents took me for evaluation when I was very young and diagnosed Tourette’s but never had any other tics develop. Would have been nice to know 🤦🏼♀️ I just apologize now and say it’s a compulsion if people ask. I don’t even know when I’m doing it",
">\n\nIs laughing disrespectful? Because it can be. Just like rolling your eyes can be. There is a time and place for everything",

">\n\nYeah it is when I want to be disrespectful to someone I roll my eyes when they make a point. It might be annoying to them, but it also let's them know I don't give a shit about whatever they just said. Now, I would never to it to my boss, or my teachers while I was in college, but when I was a teen I did it all the time because I was an asshole, who didn't care. \nIt's not a natural reaction lmao, it is learned behavior and it can be a bad habit, but it can be unlearned.",
">\n\nSome people can’t control it I know with me sometimes I roll my eyes without meaning too it’s not that I’m trying to be rude it’s just something I didn’t even realize I was doing nor did I mean too",

">\n\nYep, thats definitely an unpopular opinion! \nIts certainly disrespectful. And most certainly not some sort of involuntary response like a sneeze. It may feel that way to you, because you've done it so much - but there are plenty of people who don't do it. UNLIKE people who don't sneeze at pepper, or cough at dust. Like, you're just plain wrong on this one. Moreover, I think you're trying to justify/rationalize it yourself rather than address it in a healthy way - a marker suggesting you have some narcissistic tendencies.",

">\n\nIt’s a sign of contempt. The facial expression expert Dr. Eikman could predict how long a barrage would last based on 4 expressions and the frequency used when the couple was interviewed. Eye rolling was one.. in fact you could remove the others and still reasonably predict marriage failures.",
">\n\nI wish it wasn’t disrespectful, because as an expressive person I LOVE a good eye roll. But, it has gotten me into trouble. I do it without even knowing it. I hate that I do… I wish sometimes I could be stone cold. Just like a fish. One expression face only. Blank fish eyes staring into nothingness.\nMy favourite mug says, “I can’t help what my face does when you talk”. There is a reason the the mug is meant to be cheeky.",
">\n\nSeems disrespectful to me because my eyes don't roll on their own, it would be a conscious act.",

">\n\nI mean, its entire function as an expression is disrespect. that's literally the whole point of rolling your eyes. Natural instinct or not, it still implies disrespect.",
">\n\nI used to roll my eyes often because I have bad eyeshit, and doing it relieved eye strain. I couldn't tell you the amount of times this got me in shit.",

">\n\nwow an actual unpopular opinion. i don’t agree with it but good on you for actually having one on this sub.",
">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

">\n\nI agree!!! Unfortunately for me, when I am thinking, trying to come up with the right words or formulating a response, I tend to involuntarily look up, which some people interpret as eye rolling. This has happened to be a few times with supervisors and teachers. It sucks. I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",

">\n\nIf your mother tells you to clean up after yourself and you roll your eyes at her expect what happens next because it's disrespectful as hell",
">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nRolling your eyes is not a natural reaction lol you drama princess",
">\n\nno, its disrespectful and thats why i do it",
">\n\nRolling eyes is generally disrespectful, and it’s something you can control (barring some medical conditions). To say you can’t stop an eye roll means you have no discipline. Or would you eye roll in a job interview or on a date if someone asked a question you thought was lame?",

">\n\nI wouldn't say rolling ones eyes is natural, it's habitual maybe if you've learned the habit but that's certainly not the way most people naturally react..\nPutting aside that debate\nMost people who roll their eyes, do so when they're already in the act of being rude about something, or condescension, or have been proven wrong and won't take the humble ground or they're narcicistic\nPeople may disagree but at least for me personally, when you roll your eyes it's a huge pet peeve of mine...it's a behavioural choice imo",

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home.

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home.

Depends on what you’re rolling your eyes at.
“I’m gonna buy my girlfriend a Valentine’s Day beer” may warrant an eye roll, whereas “I really want to get into my local theatre group and start acting” does not.

It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

Thank you so much for saying this.
I come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, "huffing") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of "I don't control it, it just happens naturally" was inevitably "backtalk", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.
It is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

Good point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.
What I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with "whatever" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.

It may feel that way to you, because you've done it so much - but there are plenty of people who don't do it. UNLIKE people who don't sneeze at pepper, or cough at dust. Like, you're just plain wrong on this one. Moreover, I think you're trying to justify/rationalize it yourself rather than address it in a healthy way - a marker suggesting you have some narcissistic tendencies.",

It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful."

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction."

Even if it is stupid.\nI get your point, we roll our eyes to express how we feel, but it is still a physical snare. You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in. If not, you can just accept that you roll your eyes to show lack of respect.",

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego. For proof : Even if someone you hate said something intelligent, you might want to roll your eyes just to flatter your ego.",

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nI wouldn't say rolling ones eyes is natural, it's habitual maybe if you've learned the habit but that's certainly not the way most people naturally react..\nPutting aside that debate\nMost people who roll their eyes, do so when they're already in the act of being rude about something, or condescension, or have been proven wrong and won't take the humble ground or they're narcicistic\nPeople may disagree but at least for me personally, when you roll your eyes it's a huge pet peeve of mine...it's a behavioural choice imo",
">\n\nSide note: upvote this comment if you were a teenager at one point and can't remember or basically never rolled your eyes\nI'll start: I never did that as a reaction , except for a few freak occasions.

My first job as a server my Manager asked me why I rolled my eyes at a group/table and I was perplexed and played three the events and came to this realization and it’s unfortunate perceptions as you meant no harm or mal intent rather working and answering a question. \nDon’t know if that’s common or not but there you are! Lol.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is as involuntary as me giving you the middle finger..it's disrespectful and you can control it loi. \nI can't even recall the last time I rolled my eyes at someone because I was quickly taught it's rude and dismissive",

">\n\nRolling your eyes is showing gratitude during intercourse",

">\n\nwait.... it happens irl?",
">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",
">\n\nSo what I've taken from this is that yes, eye rolling is disrespectful, and I get to decide willy nilly whether or not I think someone else is being disrespectful."

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home.

">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",

First I'd like to say that you have an interesting opinion. I can see where you're coming from on the side of it not being disrespectful. On the other hand I'd half-disagree and say that disrespectful or not, it's not a very pleasant reaction to observe.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nLearn to control your face. The real world won’t treat you well, and it will be no one’s fault but yours.",
">\n\nI wouldn't say rolling ones eyes is natural, it's habitual maybe if you've learned the habit but that's certainly not the way most people naturally react..\nPutting aside that debate\nMost people who roll their eyes, do so when they're already in the act of being rude about something, or condescension, or have been proven wrong and won't take the humble ground or they're narcicistic\nPeople may disagree but at least for me personally, when you roll your eyes it's a huge pet peeve of mine...it's a behavioural choice imo",
">\n\nSide note: upvote this comment if you were a teenager at one point and can't remember or basically never rolled your eyes\nI'll start: I never did that as a reaction , except for a few freak occasions. I did however laugh awkwardly or get combative.\nI learned rolling your eyes isn't a smart move when I got punched for doing so",

">\n\nI roll my eyes or my eyes move towards my brain when I’m thinking about something sometimes - it certainly isn’t intentional just an odd human mechanism/characteristic (?). My first job as a server my Manager asked me why I rolled my eyes at a group/table and I was perplexed and played three the events and came to this realization and it’s unfortunate perceptions as you meant no harm or mal intent rather working and answering a question. \nDon’t know if that’s common or not but there you are! Lol.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is as involuntary as me giving you the middle finger..it's disrespectful and you can control it loi. \nI can't even recall the last time I rolled my eyes at someone because I was quickly taught it's rude and dismissive",
">\n\nI'd be very curious to know if blind people roll their eyes. I think it's learned.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is showing gratitude during intercourse",
">\n\nDepends on what you’re rolling your eyes at.\n“I’m gonna buy my girlfriend a Valentine’s Day beer” may warrant an eye roll, whereas “I really want to get into my local theatre group and start acting” does not.",
">\n\nwait.... it happens irl?",
">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",
">\n\nSo what I've taken from this is that yes, eye rolling is disrespectful, and I get to decide willy nilly whether or not I think someone else is being disrespectful.",
">\n\n\"I refuse to accept that I'm a disrespectful child who won't take responsibility for his own actions, so I'm going to play the victim and use this as a justification to be even more disrespectful and childish in the future.\"\nLadies and gentlemen, I give you a future Republican voter.",
">\n\nOP has obviously never had a teenage daughter",
">\n\nFirst I'd like to say that you have an interesting opinion. I can see where you're coming from on the side of it not being disrespectful. On the other hand I'd half-disagree and say that disrespectful or not, it's not a very pleasant reaction to observe."

Rolling your eyes is 100% to show lack of respect, and you have no intentions of showing it, even to reason, by rolling your eyes at something someone could believe is meaningful or important. Even if it is stupid.\nI get your point, we roll our eyes to express how we feel, but it is still a physical snare. You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",

">\n\nFirst I'd like to say that you have an interesting opinion. I can see where you're coming from on the side of it not being disrespectful. On the other hand I'd half-disagree and say that disrespectful or not, it's not a very pleasant reaction to observe.",
">\n\nIt's not worth the negetive karma OP. Also, respect is subjective so you may feel that way and that's fine but if you want to be respectful you have to be considerate of what others consider respectful"

Everything you listed as a function that can be controlled. You can choose when you roll your eyes and stop yourself from doing so if it's a habit just like you can stop yourself from laughing in an inappropriate moment. If you wouldn't laugh at a funeral, you shouldn't roll your eyes when it'll get you in trouble.
After reading some of your other comments I should also point out that you are able to control your thoughts and actions. Everyone is, so please don't say you can't. You just haven't decided to or haven't learned how to yet. Until you do you have the option to roll your eyes and be disrespectful at whoever you want to but there are always going to be consequences. Those consequences could be everything from someone not wanting to be your friend anymore to you getting grounded to you getting expelled from school to getting injured because someone takes what you do wrong and wants to hit you.
You're better off learning to control your own actions and facial expressions because you can't control other people's responses to them. After all you can have as much to stain in the world for someone and can think that they're completely full of s***, but if you don't roll your eyes they won't know that and you can continue having a normal conversation and you won't in trouble. But if you keep refusing to control your facial expressions or actions and being disrespectful or making people believe you're being disrespectful, people will continue to react accordingly and maybe disrespectful back.
And trust me this might not seem like a big deal but she seem very young and clearly you haven't been at the age yet where you've met someone who's super drunk outside of a bar, or you haven't had to square up with someone who's a lot bigger than you at school. Because once those things start happening you're going to realize that that simple eye roll can get your jaw wired shut if you do it at the wrong person. Many a pacifist has gotten injured by making the wrong facial expression around someone who was too drunk to understand and they got clocked in the face with a right hook.
That is my sage advice.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",
">\n\nI mean it is disrespectful, but maybe the issue is some people expect ceaseless respect all the time, no matter what they do or say.",
">\n\nIf you do something that most people find to be disrespectful, it is. That’s what social norms are.",
">\n\nWho hurt you?",
">\n\nProbably their parents",
">\n\nSaid like a true narcissist..",
">\n\nI do it often, even when I’m not mad, and people sometimes think I am angry at them",
">\n\nIf your mother tells you to clean up after yourself and you roll your eyes at her expect what happens next because it's disrespectful as hell",
">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",
">\n\nSounds like you're mad your parents called you out for disrespectful behavior",
">\n\nI think OP is just gonna roll his/her eyes at every comment in here.",
">\n\nOoh, this IS an unpopular opinion. Upvoted.\nI'd say that rolling your eyes, for most people, is a conscious decision...not an automatic reaction. And pepper doesn't make you sneeze, that's some Loony Toons logic.",
">\n\nYeah actually it does make you sneeze...black pepper anyway.",
">\n\nYou're stupid. My natural reaction to your thought.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is not a natural reaction lol you drama princess",
">\n\nno, its disrespectful and thats why i do it",
">\n\nRolling eyes is generally disrespectful, and it’s something you can control (barring some medical conditions). To say you can’t stop an eye roll means you have no discipline. Or would you eye roll in a job interview or on a date if someone asked a question you thought was lame?",
">\n\nAre you saying you can’t control the expressions of your own face?? You should get that checked by a medical professional. \nRolling your eyes is nothing like sneezing or laughing, you seem to be fishing for an excuse or defense to be disrespectful",
">\n\nLearn to control your face. The real world won’t treat you well, and it will be no one’s fault but yours.",
">\n\nI wouldn't say rolling ones eyes is natural, it's habitual maybe if you've learned the habit but that's certainly not the way most people naturally react..\nPutting aside that debate\nMost people who roll their eyes, do so when they're already in the act of being rude about something, or condescension, or have been proven wrong and won't take the humble ground or they're narcicistic\nPeople may disagree but at least for me personally, when you roll your eyes it's a huge pet peeve of mine...it's a behavioural choice imo",
">\n\nSide note: upvote this comment if you were a teenager at one point and can't remember or basically never rolled your eyes\nI'll start: I never did that as a reaction , except for a few freak occasions. I did however laugh awkwardly or get combative.\nI learned rolling your eyes isn't a smart move when I got punched for doing so",
">\n\nLol OP is 👶🏻",
">\n\nI'm proud of us all here- when we want to, we really can drag the right people and it shows",
">\n\nRolling my eyes at this post...",
">\n\n\"It's like, just my natural reaction to the lame and stupid shit you said... no disrespect, though, you stupid lame ass.\"",
">\n\nI mean I 100% mean it disrespectful when I roll my eyes at someone. So yeah it is I just don’t give a fuck 🤷🏻♀️",
">\n\nI roll my eyes or my eyes move towards my brain when I’m thinking about something sometimes - it certainly isn’t intentional just an odd human mechanism/characteristic (?). My first job as a server my Manager asked me why I rolled my eyes at a group/table and I was perplexed and played three the events and came to this realization and it’s unfortunate perceptions as you meant no harm or mal intent rather working and answering a question. \nDon’t know if that’s common or not but there you are! Lol.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is as involuntary as me giving you the middle finger..it's disrespectful and you can control it loi. \nI can't even recall the last time I rolled my eyes at someone because I was quickly taught it's rude and dismissive",
">\n\nI'd be very curious to know if blind people roll their eyes. I think it's learned.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is showing gratitude during intercourse",
">\n\nDepends on what you’re rolling your eyes at.\n“I’m gonna buy my girlfriend a Valentine’s Day beer” may warrant an eye roll, whereas “I really want to get into my local theatre group and start acting” does not.",
">\n\nwait.... it happens irl?",
">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",
">\n\nSo what I've taken from this is that yes, eye rolling is disrespectful, and I get to decide willy nilly whether or not I think someone else is being disrespectful.",
">\n\n\"I refuse to accept that I'm a disrespectful child who won't take responsibility for his own actions, so I'm going to play the victim and use this as a justification to be even more disrespectful and childish in the future.\"\nLadies and gentlemen, I give you a future Republican voter.",
">\n\nOP has obviously never had a teenage daughter",
">\n\nFirst I'd like to say that you have an interesting opinion. I can see where you're coming from on the side of it not being disrespectful. On the other hand I'd half-disagree and say that disrespectful or not, it's not a very pleasant reaction to observe.",
">\n\nIt's not worth the negetive karma OP. Also, respect is subjective so you may feel that way and that's fine but if you want to be respectful you have to be considerate of what others consider respectful",
">\n\nDisagree but this is unpopular",
">\n\nEverything you listed as a function that can be controlled. You can choose when you roll your eyes and stop yourself from doing so if it's a habit just like you can stop yourself from laughing in an inappropriate moment. If you wouldn't laugh at a funeral, you shouldn't roll your eyes when it'll get you in trouble.\nAfter reading some of your other comments I should also point out that you are able to control your thoughts and actions. Everyone is, so please don't say you can't. You just haven't decided to or haven't learned how to yet. Until you do you have the option to roll your eyes and be disrespectful at whoever you want to but there are always going to be consequences. Those consequences could be everything from someone not wanting to be your friend anymore to you getting grounded to you getting expelled from school to getting injured because someone takes what you do wrong and wants to hit you. \nYou're better off learning to control your own actions and facial expressions because you can't control other people's responses to them. After all you can have as much to stain in the world for someone and can think that they're completely full of s***, but if you don't roll your eyes they won't know that and you can continue having a normal conversation and you won't in trouble. But if you keep refusing to control your facial expressions or actions and being disrespectful or making people believe you're being disrespectful, people will continue to react accordingly and maybe disrespectful back. \nAnd trust me this might not seem like a big deal but she seem very young and clearly you haven't been at the age yet where you've met someone who's super drunk outside of a bar, or you haven't had to square up with someone who's a lot bigger than you at school. Because once those things start happening you're going to realize that that simple eye roll can get your jaw wired shut if you do it at the wrong person. Many a pacifist has gotten injured by making the wrong facial expression around someone who was too drunk to understand and they got clocked in the face with a right hook. \nThat is my sage advice."

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nwait.... it happens irl?",
">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",

">\n\nIt's not worth the negetive karma OP. Also, respect is subjective so you may feel that way and that's fine but if you want to be respectful you have to be considerate of what others consider respectful",
">\n\nDisagree but this is unpopular",
">\n\nEverything you listed as a function that can be controlled. You can choose when you roll your eyes and stop yourself from doing so if it's a habit just like you can stop yourself from laughing in an inappropriate moment. If you wouldn't laugh at a funeral, you shouldn't roll your eyes when it'll get you in trouble.\nAfter reading some of your other comments I should also point out that you are able to control your thoughts and actions. Everyone is, so please don't say you can't. You just haven't decided to or haven't learned how to yet. Until you do you have the option to roll your eyes and be disrespectful at whoever you want to but there are always going to be consequences. Those consequences could be everything from someone not wanting to be your friend anymore to you getting grounded to you getting expelled from school to getting injured because someone takes what you do wrong and wants to hit you. \nYou're better off learning to control your own actions and facial expressions because you can't control other people's responses to them. After all you can have as much to stain in the world for someone and can think that they're completely full of s***, but if you don't roll your eyes they won't know that and you can continue having a normal conversation and you won't in trouble. But if you keep refusing to control your facial expressions or actions and being disrespectful or making people believe you're being disrespectful, people will continue to react accordingly and maybe disrespectful back. \nAnd trust me this might not seem like a big deal but she seem very young and clearly you haven't been at the age yet where you've met someone who's super drunk outside of a bar, or you haven't had to square up with someone who's a lot bigger than you at school. Because once those things start happening you're going to realize that that simple eye roll can get your jaw wired shut if you do it at the wrong person. Many a pacifist has gotten injured by making the wrong facial expression around someone who was too drunk to understand and they got clocked in the face with a right hook. \nThat is my sage advice.",

Even if it is stupid.\nI get your point, we roll our eyes to express how we feel, but it is still a physical snare. You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego. For proof : Even if someone you hate said something intelligent, you might want to roll your eyes just to flatter your ego.",

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nRolling your eyes is showing gratitude during intercourse",
">\n\nDepends on what you’re rolling your eyes at.\n“I’m gonna buy my girlfriend a Valentine’s Day beer” may warrant an eye roll, whereas “I really want to get into my local theatre group and start acting” does not.",
">\n\nwait.... it happens irl?",
">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",
">\n\nSo what I've taken from this is that yes, eye rolling is disrespectful, and I get to decide willy nilly whether or not I think someone else is being disrespectful.",
">\n\n\"I refuse to accept that I'm a disrespectful child who won't take responsibility for his own actions, so I'm going to play the victim and use this as a justification to be even more disrespectful and childish in the future.\"\nLadies and gentlemen, I give you a future Republican voter.",
">\n\nOP has obviously never had a teenage daughter",
">\n\nFirst I'd like to say that you have an interesting opinion. I can see where you're coming from on the side of it not being disrespectful. On the other hand I'd half-disagree and say that disrespectful or not, it's not a very pleasant reaction to observe.",
">\n\nIt's not worth the negetive karma OP. Also, respect is subjective so you may feel that way and that's fine but if you want to be respectful you have to be considerate of what others consider respectful",
">\n\nDisagree but this is unpopular",
">\n\nEverything you listed as a function that can be controlled. You can choose when you roll your eyes and stop yourself from doing so if it's a habit just like you can stop yourself from laughing in an inappropriate moment. If you wouldn't laugh at a funeral, you shouldn't roll your eyes when it'll get you in trouble.\nAfter reading some of your other comments I should also point out that you are able to control your thoughts and actions. Everyone is, so please don't say you can't. You just haven't decided to or haven't learned how to yet. Until you do you have the option to roll your eyes and be disrespectful at whoever you want to but there are always going to be consequences. Those consequences could be everything from someone not wanting to be your friend anymore to you getting grounded to you getting expelled from school to getting injured because someone takes what you do wrong and wants to hit you. \nYou're better off learning to control your own actions and facial expressions because you can't control other people's responses to them. After all you can have as much to stain in the world for someone and can think that they're completely full of s***, but if you don't roll your eyes they won't know that and you can continue having a normal conversation and you won't in trouble. But if you keep refusing to control your facial expressions or actions and being disrespectful or making people believe you're being disrespectful, people will continue to react accordingly and maybe disrespectful back. \nAnd trust me this might not seem like a big deal but she seem very young and clearly you haven't been at the age yet where you've met someone who's super drunk outside of a bar, or you haven't had to square up with someone who's a lot bigger than you at school. Because once those things start happening you're going to realize that that simple eye roll can get your jaw wired shut if you do it at the wrong person. Many a pacifist has gotten injured by making the wrong facial expression around someone who was too drunk to understand and they got clocked in the face with a right hook. \nThat is my sage advice.",
">\n\nYou obviously never got enough spankings to understand what 'respect' actually is. (didnt finish reading your post) *shrugs",
">\n\nIf you feel offended by someone rolling their eyes at you you're too sensitive in my opinion."

Rolling your eyes is 100% to show lack of respect, and you have no intentions of showing it, even to reason, by rolling your eyes at something someone could believe is meaningful or important. Even if it is stupid.\nI get your point, we roll our eyes to express how we feel, but it is still a physical snare. You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in.

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong.

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nI wouldn't say rolling ones eyes is natural, it's habitual maybe if you've learned the habit but that's certainly not the way most people naturally react..\nPutting aside that debate\nMost people who roll their eyes, do so when they're already in the act of being rude about something, or condescension, or have been proven wrong and won't take the humble ground or they're narcicistic\nPeople may disagree but at least for me personally, when you roll your eyes it's a huge pet peeve of mine...it's a behavioural choice imo",

">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",

">\n\nIt's not worth the negetive karma OP. Also, respect is subjective so you may feel that way and that's fine but if you want to be respectful you have to be considerate of what others consider respectful",
">\n\nDisagree but this is unpopular",
">\n\nEverything you listed as a function that can be controlled. You can choose when you roll your eyes and stop yourself from doing so if it's a habit just like you can stop yourself from laughing in an inappropriate moment. If you wouldn't laugh at a funeral, you shouldn't roll your eyes when it'll get you in trouble.\nAfter reading some of your other comments I should also point out that you are able to control your thoughts and actions. Everyone is, so please don't say you can't. You just haven't decided to or haven't learned how to yet. Until you do you have the option to roll your eyes and be disrespectful at whoever you want to but there are always going to be consequences. Those consequences could be everything from someone not wanting to be your friend anymore to you getting grounded to you getting expelled from school to getting injured because someone takes what you do wrong and wants to hit you. \nYou're better off learning to control your own actions and facial expressions because you can't control other people's responses to them. After all you can have as much to stain in the world for someone and can think that they're completely full of s***, but if you don't roll your eyes they won't know that and you can continue having a normal conversation and you won't in trouble. But if you keep refusing to control your facial expressions or actions and being disrespectful or making people believe you're being disrespectful, people will continue to react accordingly and maybe disrespectful back. \nAnd trust me this might not seem like a big deal but she seem very young and clearly you haven't been at the age yet where you've met someone who's super drunk outside of a bar, or you haven't had to square up with someone who's a lot bigger than you at school. Because once those things start happening you're going to realize that that simple eye roll can get your jaw wired shut if you do it at the wrong person. Many a pacifist has gotten injured by making the wrong facial expression around someone who was too drunk to understand and they got clocked in the face with a right hook. \nThat is my sage advice.",

No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",

You can choose when you roll your eyes and stop yourself from doing so if it's a habit just like you can stop yourself from laughing in an inappropriate moment. If you wouldn't laugh at a funeral, you shouldn't roll your eyes when it'll get you in trouble.\nAfter reading some of your other comments I should also point out that you are able to control your thoughts and actions. Everyone is, so please don't say you can't. You just haven't decided to or haven't learned how to yet. Until you do you have the option to roll your eyes and be disrespectful at whoever you want to but there are always going to be consequences. Those consequences could be everything from someone not wanting to be your friend anymore to you getting grounded to you getting expelled from school to getting injured because someone takes what you do wrong and wants to hit you. \nYou're better off learning to control your own actions and facial expressions because you can't control other people's responses to them. After all you can have as much to stain in the world for someone and can think that they're completely full of s***, but if you don't roll your eyes they won't know that and you can continue having a normal conversation and you won't in trouble. But if you keep refusing to control your facial expressions or actions and being disrespectful or making people believe you're being disrespectful, people will continue to react accordingly and maybe disrespectful back. \nAnd trust me this might not seem like a big deal but she seem very young and clearly you haven't been at the age yet where you've met someone who's super drunk outside of a bar, or you haven't had to square up with someone who's a lot bigger than you at school. Because once those things start happening you're going to realize that that simple eye roll can get your jaw wired shut if you do it at the wrong person. Many a pacifist has gotten injured by making the wrong facial expression around someone who was too drunk to understand and they got clocked in the face with a right hook. \nThat is my sage advice.",

">\n\nYou’re grounded now",
">\n\nThe post above was someone getting electrocuted so this reply was very timely",
">\n\nThis news is shocking",
">\n\nIt definitely SPARKED my interest",
">\n\nAll of you guys need to leave, and not come back before learning how to conduct yourselves properly",
">\n\nUhhhh....... electricity",
">\n\nWell no, in the right context it is disrespectful. Rolling your eyes suggests that you're not taking the matter seriously or that you dont care which is a sign of disrespect towards whoever is speaking with you.",
">\n\nBut I can't control what I think. If I said \"man you're stupid and I don't care what you say\" thats disrespectful. I'm actually showing respect by not saying it.",
">\n\nI mean, actions speak louder than words, right?",
">\n\nIts not really an action tho its just an automatic response. Like gasping or yawning.",
">\n\nbullshit.\nSorry, it was an automatic response. Which is bullshit just like yours.",
">\n\nStill not the same thing. And they get on me for false analogies....",
">\n\nYou must be a teenager",
">\n\nLol how many times are you gonna post that. Dont you have an original thought of your own?",
">\n\nBruh I cant believe you make these posts. They're foolish",
">\n\nLaughing at someone can be disrespectful. Don't think so? Try laughing at someone's funeral.",
">\n\nThe disrespect comes from the one who told me a joke and made me laugh.",
">\n\nWhat about if no one said any joke? Because, you know, you are at a funeral.",
">\n\nSo someone's just there randomly laughing at shit? That sounds like a mental illness.",
">\n\nYou have never thought of something funny in your head to make yourself laugh? \nOr hell, maybe you didn't like the person who is buried and decided to laugh at them. You find it funny, so laughing must be appropriate, right?",
">\n\nWhy am I thinking about funny shit at a funeral.",
">\n\nBecause the universe likes to put us in uncomfortable positions sometimes.",
">\n\n“if its stupid or lame, you roll your eyes” - you found the disrespect",
">\n\nIm allowed to think whatever i want and its not disrespectful.",
">\n\nWhen you express contempt for something someone else said, it's disrespect.",
">\n\nWhat if what they said is contemptible?",
">\n\nSome people and comments deserve disrespect, still gonna be disrespect",
">\n\nLaughing, crying, and sneezing are all innate, involuntary reactions to certain types of stimuli. Rolling your eyes is a learned behavior. You can’t compare it to those other automatic responses because it’s not the same thing.",
">\n\nTake my upvote",
">\n\nOP rolled their eyes at someone and got chewed out for it.\nNow they're going online in an attempt to validate themselves.\n🙄",
">\n\nProbably got grounded.",
">\n\nPart of being a mature adult is to have self-control and not acting on every impulse and being respectful of people.",
">\n\n\nPart of being a mature adult\n\nYup but OP is clearly a teenager lol. They complain about being told off for doing chores wrong in another post…",
">\n\nEven a teenager should be able to have the fundamental basics of respect",
">\n\nOh I agree 100%",
">\n\nYou have poor self-control and poor self-awareness but the good news is that you can improve these things.",
">\n\n/r/wrongopinions",
">\n\nI feel like we need a new subreddit r/unpopularforareason",
">\n\nIt’s entire purpose is to be disrespectful. Nobody eyerolls something they respect. But how offensive it is depends on the context and how serious one is being.",
">\n\n\nIf its stupid or lame you roll your eyes\n\nYou rn: \"I'm not being disrespectful. I just thought what you said was stupid or lame.\"\n...",
">\n\nSaying its stupid could be disrespectful. A facial response is not.",
">\n\nLiterally every person in this thread agrees that it is.\nThis is your bad habit. Nobody else's responsibility but you.",
">\n\nThey can choose to not fly off the handle at what is just an innate reaction.",
">\n\nSo let me get this straight: you think you deserve to be able to disrespect whoever you like whenever you like but they can't as much as say you're being rude? Grow up.",
">\n\nFound the teenager.",
">\n\nMeh, I agree with that one. If you don't like how someone is doing something then do it yourself. There's a reason I live alone.",
">\n\nIt is a UNIVERSAL sign of disrespect. Globally. Deal with it.",
">\n\nLaughing can be disrespectuful too. If you cannot control your own reactions, well, what can I say, maybe you have not really grown up?",
">\n\nI have Tourette’s so it’s hard to control my own actions sometimes…",
">\n\nThank u I'm trying to explain how autism can make it hard to read not just others facial expressions but also ur own and it seems like no one has thought of the possibility that they acc don't realise it or csnt control it",
">\n\nWould you roll your eyes during a job interview if you thought a question was stupid or irrelevant? Do you think you’d get the job if you did?",
">\n\nPretty sure OP would think they were owed that job and they would think it’s ridiculous if they didn’t get it.\nOP is also a teenager going through their rebel phase though",
">\n\nYou're oddly specific here.",
">\n\nWhat was specific? Or rather oddly specific?",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is a good way to fast track yourself to a divorce, if you want one.",
">\n\nI think OP needs the definition of respect before any further comment is made",
">\n\nOh I already know it, and I know it does not mean:\nDon't ever disagree with me\nDon't think bad thoughts about me\nDon't ever correct me when I'm blatantly wrong \nShine my boots with your tongue",
">\n\nSoooo this post isn’t about eye rolling is what I’m getting from this. You’ve got issues to work through with your parents or partner or something",
">\n\nSince when tf was eye rolling involuntary?",
">",
">\n\nYour lack of self control is not a justification for disrespect. I personally dont know anyone who reacts to anything by rolling their eyes. Just be mature and communicate.",
">\n\nAnd what if it's not stupid and someone rolls their eyes? Wouldn't it be disrespectful in that case?",
">\n\nIn the eye rollers opinion then it must have been. But you can't fault someone for thinking its stupid.",
">\n\nSo eyerolling is some kind of exceptional thing that is free from criticism? \nIf one has the freedom to eye roll, then someone else has the freedom to criticize the eye roller right? \nOr is it your opinion that besides that everyone who sees an eye roller has to just stfu",
">\n\nMeh, it is disrespectful. It's a way to be disrespectful without having to say That's the dumbest thing I've heard all month, and everyone else who heard it is also dumber for hearing it as well.",
">\n\nBut I didn't say it that's the point.",
">\n\nJust cuz you don’t use words doesn’t mean it’s not disrespectful. Walking away while someone is talking to you, rolling your eyes, slapping someone, and starting to play a game on your phone while someone is talking to you are all disrespectful. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t say anything, your lack of respect still showed.",
">\n\nespecially the way theyre responding to comments",
">\n\nYeah, a natural reaction if you’ve never learned to manage your emotions as opposed to letting them run your life. I’m not talking about being totally monotone rational, either. You need to learn a balance between rational and emotional…which includes healthy, appropriate, respectful expression of honest feelings. Eye rolling is absolutely disrespectful, belittling, and dismissive.",
">\n\nComments: OP is completely wrong and has attitude issues",
">\n\nWhat sounds like mental illness is you refusing to admit that rolling your eyes is simply not an unconditional response. Whether you want to believe it or not, you are doing it intentionally and you can control it. \nYou’re just to much of a b—— to do so.",
">\n\nSame to you",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is a learned reaction. Not natural. I rarely of ever roll my eyes at anything.",
">",
">\n\nJust like raising your middle finger. Or vocalizing the sounds \"fuck you\". Or fingers typing the words fuck you OP. Nothing is disrespectful!",
">\n\nNice try but not the same thing at all. You're talking about thought out actions here. The eye roll is more like a reaction. Its quick, its automatic, no one has to think \"im rolling my eyes now\" it just happens. \nSort of like when telling a lie - no one decides to have their eyes dart around suspiciously, it just happens.",
">\n\nNo. Rolling your eyes is not involuntary. It can be controlled. You have a bad habit that you CAN stop. Much like a child learning not to suck their thumb, or biting your nails.",
">\n\nHow about you start with your hair scratching",
">\n\nYour opinion is a contradiction in itself. And, yeah. I disagree. Rolling your eyes is 100% to show lack of respect, and you have no intentions of showing it, even to reason, by rolling your eyes at something someone could believe is meaningful or important. Even if it is stupid.\nI get your point, we roll our eyes to express how we feel, but it is still a physical snare. You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth. This might be a time for you to read these comments and reevaluate. There are healthier ways to react to things you disagree with, or lack interest in. If not, you can just accept that you roll your eyes to show lack of respect.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is much more deliberate than laughter, tears, or sneezing. It's a conscious action in response to a judgement you're making.",
">\n\nNah, dude it is disrespectful \nYou just have no self control and by the looks of it you don't want to build some",
">\n\nYour post made me roll my eyes very hard.",
">\n\n“No, officer, my wife - she MADE me hit her!”",
">\n\nIt's a natural reaction for a sooky kid but not an adult, if you do that as an adult you just manchild that wants everything their way",
">\n\npoor OP.... did you get in trouble after you rolled your eyes at something again? did you not prehaps learn from previous interactions? rolling your eyes at something \"stupid or lame\" is an intentional response that is disrespectful to whatever it is. mature people dont act that way.....",
">\n\n\nIf its stupid or lame you roll your eyes.\n\nSo it is disrespectful. \n\nIts like throwing pepper in someone's face an expecting them not to sneeze.\n\nNo it’s not. You can easily (edited in) refrain from rolling your eyes, while it’s much more difficult to refrain from sneezing. \nIt’s fine to think whatever you want, but you might want to refrain from rolling your eyes when you’re, say, interacting with your boss; aka someone that can make you unemployed for whatever reason they please.",
">\n\nThis isn't an opinion. It's just flat wrong. \nIt is disrespectful because it is a conscious signifier which clearly communicated that you think that the thing you are rolling your eyes at is not worthy of respect.",
">\n\nYou have to go out of your way to roll your eyes. It is NOT gutteral or instinctual",
">\n\nIf you annoy me, my arm whips out in a natural reaction and slaps you.",
">\n\nSorry, kiddo, it’s 100% disrespectful. Just own the shit and quit trying to lawyer around it.\nI say that after having rolled my eyes so hard at your post, I travelled back in time.",
">\n\nTell that to my family lol you get the belt",
">\n\nThis was made my a 15 year old who just got told off by their mom about rolling their eyes. Then in defense said, “I can’t control it”",
">\n\nMan it's getting so aggressive sometimes here 😂",
">\n\ni certainly hope you are embarrassed about this in a couple years when you grow up.",
">\n\nOP is a habitual eye roller 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄",
">\n\nI wish to God we could block people by age, no more edgy 13yo’s",
">\n\nSomebody just got their ps5 taken away for rolling their eyes",
">\n\nTell me you're 12 without telling me you're 12.",
">\n\nit’s the definition of disrespectful and a sign that you have literally nothing intelligent to say in return. \nwhich is why we outgrow it as adults.",
">\n\nYou can control it. It’s not an “automatic response” unless you’ve taught yourself to do it. I never roll my eyes. It’s just not something I have ever practiced doing. And yes…if I’m saying something too you and you dismiss it with an eye roll…it’s super disrespectful.",
">\n\nrolling your eyes is just as respectful as sticking your tongue out at someone or making a stupid face in reaction to something someone says",
">\n\nIf you can’t control your eye movement, you need to see a neurologist, dude 😆. As it stands, eye rolling isn’t a reflex or a “natural reaction” to anything. Habits aren’t the same as involuntary reactions.\nRolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful. It’s an outward sign that you think something about your interaction with them was stupid or wrong. There’s no one here that will agree with you, and you know that you’re in the vast minority with this opinion because you posted it on this sub. Now learn some humility and accept that your opinion is factually incorrect based on science.",
">\n\n🙄",
">\n\nAre you like 14 and your mom got you in trouble cause you rolled your eyes at her? Lmao",
">\n\nI’m gonna show your mom this and it’s going to be another week of being grounded, you little shit lol",
">\n\nOmfg 😂",
">\n\nOP I have to ask.\n\n\nHow old are you?\n\n\nHow is your relationship with your parents?\n\n\nHow do you view authority figures in your life?",
">\n\nrolls eyes",
">\n\nIf you say or demand something stupid from me I will probably roll my eyes.",
">\n\nBut it is",
">\n\nJust like rolling your eyes is an innate response, so are other people's responses to you rolling your eyes.",
">\n\nSometimes being respectful requires hiding your subjective opinion on whether something is stupid or lame.",
">\n\nI wouldn’t say eye rolling is as involuntary as laughing or crying tho. It’s more of a choice.",
">\n\nIf someone rolls their eyes then I feel disrespected it’s a natural reaction.",
">\n\ntell me you're a teenager without telling me you're a teenager",
">\n\nI'm rolling my eyes at this post. And I definitely mean it disrespectfully.",
">\n\nLmao this kid had an argument with his parent(s) or teacher and is venting on Reddit.",
">\n\nYou sound like an eye rolling arsehole",
">\n\ni have never had an as a nonvoulentary action, it requires very explicit movement of you eye. this is like saying “when i dont like people, i punch them in the head, thats my natural reaction i cant control it”\ni have never once legitimately rolled my eyes at something, i think you might be an asshole",
">\n\nMe smacking your face is also an innate uncontrollable response to you rolling your eyes. I'm only human. What can I do? 🙄",
">\n\nI disagree. also there are a billion other ways to express something being stupid or lame than rolling ur eyes",
">\n\nStop downvoting, this is ACTUALLY a very unpopular opinion and I love to see it tbh. Voice your disagreement in the comments but don't downvote the post. This post is hilarious.",
">\n\nThis is something you’ve learned to do. It’s entirely in your control if you do it or not.",
">\n\nI once got a detention for rolling my eyes at a teacher in 4th grade.\nI agree with you, though. The only other person I've ever really rolled my eyes at was my mother, and she deserved it, every single time.",
">\n\nI get your point. I absolutely purposefully roll my eyes sometimes and whoever I'm doing it to would be valid for getting mad. \nBut as someone who can't hide any emotion on their face (literally any, I'm the definition of an open book) there have been plenty of times where people blew up at me or laughed because I rolled my eyes when I didn't even realize I had done it. Feel like the people disagreeing with you haven't experienced this problem.",
">\n\nWhat you've done is cultivate a bad habit and then blamed it on everyone else when you repeat your own bad habit unintentionally.\nThis is entirely your fault.",
">\n\nOnly on Reddit would someone so boldly declare something like this to a stranger. I'm on the spectrum so that might have to do with my not being able to hide any emotion (I truly mean that, people can basically read my thoughts just by looking at me, good and bad). \nI think you've purposefully developed a bad habit of being rude to strangers based on assumptions you've made on causal comments they leave. Consider working on that.",
">\n\nSo they point out you’re cultivating a bad habit and blaming other people so you then, blame them? It’s a little spot on don’t you think?",
">\n\nWhen did i blame them for my own actions? Could you quote me? I was just pointing out how weird it was that they made such a strong assumption of my character off a causal comment I left when they themselves were ironically being unnecessarily rude in the process. \nI don't know how you got so lost?",
">\n\n\nI think you've purposefully developed a bad habit of being rude to strangers based on assumptions you've made on causal comments they leave.\n\nClassic deflection and implication that they’re the one with the problem, not you",
">\n\nFirst its not automatic. I almost never rolled my eyes. Its much easier to control than laughing crying or sneezing. So you just dont make the effort. Its actually a way to express your feeling. You should know that, its your personnality not a human instinctive reaction. \nAnd yes not respecting something is disrespectful. Its not that hard to understand. \nAnyway if i see you.. i dont know having a breakdown after being fired and dumped and start to laugh you'd like that ? \nIf im sad because something good happens to you and show it to you, you would like that ? \nHonestly you are just trying to justify being a bit of a jerk. \nI dont blame you or anything we all are jerks sometime but its what you are doing right now.",
">\n\nI have to refocus my eyes and most of the time blinking doesn’t cut it. I have a lazy eye and when I look at someone for a long time it unfocuses, so moving the muscle is the only way to reset it. If I don’t, people start moving their heads/ bodies trying to focus on my lazy eye. It gets awkward.",
">\n\nThis is where I go to my training as a kid. What others think of you is none of your business.",
">\n\nUnless you have a tick or something like Tourette’s syndrome, then it’s not an involuntary response. Part of living in a society and not being considered rude is managing your body language.\nLet me put it this way. “Rudeness” in itself is a social concept. That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",
">\n\nTo be fair, if your thinking its stupid or lame, then that is dis-respect. I'd agree with this if it was worded like 'More people need to say what they truly think', but I think you sort of missed the mark, OP.",
">\n\nI am equally annoyed when folks rapidly blink and look away mid conversation or drop their arm dead against their thigh. It’s like you’ve given up an effort to even keep your body vertical and engaged while I’m talking to you.",
">\n\nOP getting downvoted AF & keeps commenting. Gotta love it.",
">\n\nIt is shown as a sign of disrespect and it shows weakness. I can’t imagine Gandhi, the queen of England or Einstein roll their eyes in front of random people. The reason why they were respected is because they didn’t play any superiority game on front of… inferiors or ignorant people. If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego. For proof : Even if someone you hate said something intelligent, you might want to roll your eyes just to flatter your ego.",
">\n\nIt's seen as disrespectful BECAUSE it's inadvertently telling them you think they're irritating/annoying.",
">\n\nI never roll my eyes? Is that something people do naturally?",
">\n\nAll depends on the context of what is going on.",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is not a natural reaction?",
">\n\nNot maintaining basic self control is disrespectful. It's the same reason we don't defecate in public, sneeze on people, or stand in the way of foot traffic.",
">\n\nI have Tourette’s and one of my tics is eye rolling",
">\n\nK",
">\n\nI accidentally roll my eyes at people sometimes when I'm not even trying to",
">\n\nThe sign of a true unpopular opinion: Nobody upvoting it, but everybody commenting to say how they disagree. If you disagree, then give it an upvote. That's the point of this sub.",
">\n\nI think it depends.",
">\n\nThis had to be written by someone under the age of 25",
">\n\nRolling your eyes isn’t natural though. It’s cultural or socially learned if that makes sense. Like if you rolled your eyes at a tribe that is disconnected from society they wouldn’t understand that you’re annoyed. So you cant really compare it to laughing.",
">\n\nI'm kind of curious if this is true though. Are you assuming this, or do you have some kind of study proving this? I'd actually like to see if your hypothesis is true, or if remote tribes also use this facial gesture.",
">\n\nI’m assuming it. Back in my country Turkey if you rolled your eyes at my grandparents they would be confused and wonder what you were doing and what it meant.",
">\n\nit's a maturity thing, keep rolling your eyes at 30-40, everyone gonna see you like a kid. \nyou gotta control your emotions, there's no need to do a expression when something is stupid or lame, you got a mouth and you respectfully share what's wrong, if the person in the other end is reluctant to stay on the same boat even after you talk about it. then you don't roll your eyes, you gotta say that there's nothing more you can do, and that you don't agree with it, and most likely leave to dodge any sort of problem.",
">\n\nI have a tic where I constantly roll my eyes. I’ve had it since I was little, but never noticed it until years later when I high school teacher yelled at me for disrespect. Apparently my parents took me for evaluation when I was very young and diagnosed Tourette’s but never had any other tics develop. Would have been nice to know 🤦🏼♀️ I just apologize now and say it’s a compulsion if people ask. I don’t even know when I’m doing it",
">\n\nIs laughing disrespectful? Because it can be. Just like rolling your eyes can be. There is a time and place for everything",
">\n\nRolling your eyes is a passive aggressive response. Passive aggression is a tactic used by meek people who are frustrated and don’t have the courage to address a given situation. It’s disrespectful and it lowers your standing in the social hierarchy.",
">\n\nGet back to me when Disney Dad actively encourages your offspring to roll their eyes at you.",
">\n\nYeah it is when I want to be disrespectful to someone I roll my eyes when they make a point. It might be annoying to them, but it also let's them know I don't give a shit about whatever they just said. Now, I would never to it to my boss, or my teachers while I was in college, but when I was a teen I did it all the time because I was an asshole, who didn't care. \nIt's not a natural reaction lmao, it is learned behavior and it can be a bad habit, but it can be unlearned.",
">\n\nSome people can’t control it I know with me sometimes I roll my eyes without meaning too it’s not that I’m trying to be rude it’s just something I didn’t even realize I was doing nor did I mean too",
">\n\n🙄",
">\n\nI have a friend who thinks like you do, which is based on your responses to the comments. He has very poor social skills and is on the autism spectrum",
">\n\nI bet you're lots of fun at parties OP.",
">\n\nI can’t tell if this is farming karma with ridiculous opinions or if this individual just has a really hard time understanding that maybe their parents aren’t always the bad guys.",
">\n\nYep, thats definitely an unpopular opinion! \nIts certainly disrespectful. And most certainly not some sort of involuntary response like a sneeze. It may feel that way to you, because you've done it so much - but there are plenty of people who don't do it. UNLIKE people who don't sneeze at pepper, or cough at dust. Like, you're just plain wrong on this one. Moreover, I think you're trying to justify/rationalize it yourself rather than address it in a healthy way - a marker suggesting you have some narcissistic tendencies.",
">\n\nWhat a stupid argument, take your upvote",
">\n\nIt’s a sign of contempt. The facial expression expert Dr. Eikman could predict how long a barrage would last based on 4 expressions and the frequency used when the couple was interviewed. Eye rolling was one.. in fact you could remove the others and still reasonably predict marriage failures.",
">\n\nI wish it wasn’t disrespectful, because as an expressive person I LOVE a good eye roll. But, it has gotten me into trouble. I do it without even knowing it. I hate that I do… I wish sometimes I could be stone cold. Just like a fish. One expression face only. Blank fish eyes staring into nothingness.\nMy favourite mug says, “I can’t help what my face does when you talk”. There is a reason the the mug is meant to be cheeky.",
">\n\nSeems disrespectful to me because my eyes don't roll on their own, it would be a conscious act.",
">\n\nThis is 100% based on the premis that you can’t control your eyes. Rolling your eyes isn’t a natural movement. You control it.\nLaughing and crying aren’t necessarily controllable.",
">\n\nIn addition to this:\nfinding something somebody said stupid isnt disrespectful - makin fun in an exaggerated way, call em out in a mean way, or think everything they're gonna say next is bs is the disrespectful part.",
">\n\nSo your reaction is because you think someone is stupid, but thinking they are stupid isn't disrespectful?",
">\n\nThis, i agree with",
">\n\nGuess my mom didn't get the memo.",

">\n\nI don’t think rolling your eyes is a natural reaction the same way crying and laughing are. The only times I’ve rolled my eyes are when I intended to.",
">\n\nWhen my dad was/is drunk and angry he does it. Disrespectful and does not feel nice.",
">\n\n🙄",
">\n\nLol go to your room",
">\n\nWhat a dingbat. lol",
">\n\nNah it's kinda rude. Hardly the worst thing ever though. Sometimes though, people roll their eyes to actually think about what they are going to say, though; it's an important thing to distinguish.",
">\n\nI mean, its entire function as an expression is disrespect. that's literally the whole point of rolling your eyes. Natural instinct or not, it still implies disrespect.",
">\n\nI used to roll my eyes often because I have bad eyeshit, and doing it relieved eye strain. I couldn't tell you the amount of times this got me in shit.",
">\n\nLaughing, crying… both can be controlled to an extent. Eye rolls can 100% be controlled. They aren’t a reflex. If they are in your case you should seek medical attention",

">\n\nwow an actual unpopular opinion. i don’t agree with it but good on you for actually having one on this sub.",
">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person. It sucks so fucking much but it does end. Stay strong.",

">\n\nI agree!!! Unfortunately for me, when I am thinking, trying to come up with the right words or formulating a response, I tend to involuntarily look up, which some people interpret as eye rolling. This has happened to be a few times with supervisors and teachers. It sucks. I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",

">\n\nEye rolling is voluntary. And context matters.\nI'm not even someone who has a particular problem with it. I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nRolling eyes is generally disrespectful, and it’s something you can control (barring some medical conditions). To say you can’t stop an eye roll means you have no discipline. Or would you eye roll in a job interview or on a date if someone asked a question you thought was lame?",
">\n\nAre you saying you can’t control the expressions of your own face?? You should get that checked by a medical professional. \nRolling your eyes is nothing like sneezing or laughing, you seem to be fishing for an excuse or defense to be disrespectful",
">\n\nLearn to control your face. The real world won’t treat you well, and it will be no one’s fault but yours.",
">\n\nI wouldn't say rolling ones eyes is natural, it's habitual maybe if you've learned the habit but that's certainly not the way most people naturally react..\nPutting aside that debate\nMost people who roll their eyes, do so when they're already in the act of being rude about something, or condescension, or have been proven wrong and won't take the humble ground or they're narcicistic\nPeople may disagree but at least for me personally, when you roll your eyes it's a huge pet peeve of mine...it's a behavioural choice imo",
">\n\nSide note: upvote this comment if you were a teenager at one point and can't remember or basically never rolled your eyes\nI'll start: I never did that as a reaction , except for a few freak occasions.

Lol.",

">\n\nRolling your eyes is showing gratitude during intercourse",
">\n\nDepends on what you’re rolling your eyes at.\n“I’m gonna buy my girlfriend a Valentine’s Day beer” may warrant an eye roll, whereas “I really want to get into my local theatre group and start acting” does not.",
">\n\nwait.... it happens irl?",
">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",
">\n\nSo what I've taken from this is that yes, eye rolling is disrespectful, and I get to decide willy nilly whether or not I think someone else is being disrespectful.",
">\n\n\"I refuse to accept that I'm a disrespectful child who won't take responsibility for his own actions, so I'm going to play the victim and use this as a justification to be even more disrespectful and childish in the future.\"\nLadies and gentlemen, I give you a future Republican voter.",
">\n\nOP has obviously never had a teenage daughter",
">\n\nFirst I'd like to say that you have an interesting opinion. I can see where you're coming from on the side of it not being disrespectful. On the other hand I'd half-disagree and say that disrespectful or not, it's not a very pleasant reaction to observe.",
">\n\nIt's not worth the negetive karma OP. Also, respect is subjective so you may feel that way and that's fine but if you want to be respectful you have to be considerate of what others consider respectful",
">\n\nDisagree but this is unpopular",
">\n\nEverything you listed as a function that can be controlled. You can choose when you roll your eyes and stop yourself from doing so if it's a habit just like you can stop yourself from laughing in an inappropriate moment. If you wouldn't laugh at a funeral, you shouldn't roll your eyes when it'll get you in trouble.\nAfter reading some of your other comments I should also point out that you are able to control your thoughts and actions. Everyone is, so please don't say you can't. You just haven't decided to or haven't learned how to yet. Until you do you have the option to roll your eyes and be disrespectful at whoever you want to but there are always going to be consequences. Those consequences could be everything from someone not wanting to be your friend anymore to you getting grounded to you getting expelled from school to getting injured because someone takes what you do wrong and wants to hit you. \nYou're better off learning to control your own actions and facial expressions because you can't control other people's responses to them. After all you can have as much to stain in the world for someone and can think that they're completely full of s***, but if you don't roll your eyes they won't know that and you can continue having a normal conversation and you won't in trouble. But if you keep refusing to control your facial expressions or actions and being disrespectful or making people believe you're being disrespectful, people will continue to react accordingly and maybe disrespectful back. \nAnd trust me this might not seem like a big deal but she seem very young and clearly you haven't been at the age yet where you've met someone who's super drunk outside of a bar, or you haven't had to square up with someone who's a lot bigger than you at school. Because once those things start happening you're going to realize that that simple eye roll can get your jaw wired shut if you do it at the wrong person. Many a pacifist has gotten injured by making the wrong facial expression around someone who was too drunk to understand and they got clocked in the face with a right hook. \nThat is my sage advice.",
">\n\nYou obviously never got enough spankings to understand what 'respect' actually is. (didnt finish reading your post) *shrugs",
">\n\nIf you feel offended by someone rolling their eyes at you you're too sensitive in my opinion.",

You say rolling your eyes isn't disrespectful, while saying it's okay to roll your eyes because something is \" stupid or lame\", which in itself is disrespectful. You sound like a very young person in the middle of a learning moment, and you're trying to react with rebellion. It only shows that you lack maturity and are in need of growth.

Its not that hard to understand. \nAnyway if i see you.. i dont know having a breakdown after being fired and dumped and start to laugh you'd like that ? \nIf im sad because something good happens to you and show it to you, you would like that ? \nHonestly you are just trying to justify being a bit of a jerk. \nI dont blame you or anything we all are jerks sometime but its what you are doing right now.",

That means it’s decided by the perception of the masses, what we generally agree upon in terms of our symbols of communication, our customs, our beliefs, our values, etc. For you to say that rolling your eyes isn’t disrespectful is not objectively wrong. But according to the society you live in, it is wrong. In layman’s terms, the hill you’re dying on here is completely arbitrary, neither side will ever be truly correct but as long as you live in a society which feels this way then you will be beholden to it anyways.",

If something is stupid, get the patience and find enough love within yourself to treat the other ones right. \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a child because his question is “stupid”, what parent does it make you ? \nIf you roll your eyes in front of a bad question because you are an expert in a subject, then it is not your modesty that speaks but your ego.

">\n\nwow an actual unpopular opinion. i don’t agree with it but good on you for actually having one on this sub.",
">\n\nIt is a reaction that takes thought and voluntary physicality to perform. \nIf you chose to roll your eyes you are saying to someone that you think less of them or their opinion. It is like shaking your head from side to side, or like wagging your finger from side to side, it is a reaction you can make but it is your choice to do so. \nThere is no environmental reason to roll your eyes:\n-When lightning strikes, you jump, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you have pepper thrown in your face, you blink and might sneeze, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you eat something really disgusting, you gag or vomit, you don't roll your eyes. \n-When you get punched hard in the face, you cry, you don't roll your eyes. \nYou could roll your eyes at any of these events. BUT that is a SARCASTIC response. Not a natural or normal response to an event. \nYou're just a loser who's trying to justify their shitty behaviour. Grow up and stop rolling your eyes, I personally haven't done that since I was a child.",
">\n\nI might be reading this entirely wrong, but are you maybe a teenager who is being told, repeatedly, that your number 1 duty is to respect your parents? \nBecause I was that teenager, and it sucked. No, I wasn't perfect, but you know who else wasn't perfect? My asshole father, and my mother who refused to stand up to his abuse. \nBut the thing is, when you are a kid, you only know what you've seen and experienced. You don't have a lot of context in life. I was told so many times that God required that I obey and respect my dad at all times, and in every way, and that it didn't matter how horrible he was, my God-ordained duty didn't change. I didn't know how wrong that whole framework was, so I would twist myself into these strange logical pretzels to convince myself that it was OK when I would stand up for myself or my sibling, instead of realizing that the entire framework was wrong.\nHere's an idea for you to chew on: rolling your eyes at someone is disrespectful and maybe that's not that big a deal. If someone is being an asshole, or abusive, maybe your level of respect isn't at all the central problem. \nAnother thought: you can be 100% right, and still suffer abuse. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it might be good to spend some time thinking about what battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. It's not fair to ask a kid to be the mature one in a situation like this, but it might be something you need to work on for your own mental or physical safety. \nRemember that you will get away from this person.

I have learned to audibly go “umm” now when I roll my eyes up so they know I’m thinking, but I also hate that because it makes me seem uncertain or dull. It’s a conundrum.",

I've never once hassled one of my kids for rolling their eyes because I reminded them to do a chore or because I said or did something that seemed lame to them. I get it - I have probably rolled my eyes at the same chores pretty recently. Or at the weird (to me) Gen Z slang they use. This is a pretty relaxed environment. It's their house too. They're allowed to react to things they don't like, even if it's somewhat negative. They're not rude or disrespectful and those are their eyes. It's fine. But I also make sure they know that they're not going to want to do that at a job. Or at a traffic stop. Or whatever. One of the reasons I'm all about home being a safe place to have whatever feelings and reactions you have as long as you aren't hurting anyone is because out in the world, you do have to control that kind of thing more. My theory is that it's easier to do what you need to do to get along in public settings if home is a place where it's fine to react more naturally. And it is fine, because it's home. No one's judging here. But that's not true in the rest of the world so self control is also important.",

">\n\nThank you so much for saying this.\nI come from a household where rolling your eyes/sighing (or in my mind words, \"huffing\") in response to being assigned a chore warranted an additional chore and phone being taken away for the rest of the day. My mom would occasionally ask me why I hadn't learned my lesson and stopped hugging and rolling my eyes, and my response of \"I don't control it, it just happens naturally\" was inevitably \"backtalk\", so there was no avoiding getting punished for it.\nIt is a natural response, and it is not disrespectful.",
">\n\nGood point. I guess I should clarify that even closing my eyes to take a deep breath (in case I was upset or frustrated and trying to stay level-headed) counted as eye rolling. I never intentionally rolled my eyes at my parents, and I certainly didn't do it in an exaggerated manner.\nWhat I (and I think OP too) mean is that it's not disrespectful to roll your eyes slightly. Plenty of people do roll their eyes blatantly and on purpose with \"whatever\" energy, and that is disrespectful. But doing it slightly because you're tired/stressed/frustrated isn't disrespectful. If anything it's the opposite, seeing as (at least when I roll my eyes, I can't speak for everyone) it happens when I'm trying to suppress a negative outward reaction.",

">\n\nIt's not worth the negetive karma OP. Also, respect is subjective so you may feel that way and that's fine but if you want to be respectful you have to be considerate of what others consider respectful",
">\n\nDisagree but this is unpopular",
">\n\nEverything you listed as a function that can be controlled. You can choose when you roll your eyes and stop yourself from doing so if it's a habit just like you can stop yourself from laughing in an inappropriate moment. If you wouldn't laugh at a funeral, you shouldn't roll your eyes when it'll get you in trouble.\nAfter reading some of your other comments I should also point out that you are able to control your thoughts and actions. Everyone is, so please don't say you can't. You just haven't decided to or haven't learned how to yet. Until you do you have the option to roll your eyes and be disrespectful at whoever you want to but there are always going to be consequences. Those consequences could be everything from someone not wanting to be your friend anymore to you getting grounded to you getting expelled from school to getting injured because someone takes what you do wrong and wants to hit you. \nYou're better off learning to control your own actions and facial expressions because you can't control other people's responses to them. After all you can have as much to stain in the world for someone and can think that they're completely full of s***, but if you don't roll your eyes they won't know that and you can continue having a normal conversation and you won't in trouble. But if you keep refusing to control your facial expressions or actions and being disrespectful or making people believe you're being disrespectful, people will continue to react accordingly and maybe disrespectful back. \nAnd trust me this might not seem like a big deal but she seem very young and clearly you haven't been at the age yet where you've met someone who's super drunk outside of a bar, or you haven't had to square up with someone who's a lot bigger than you at school. Because once those things start happening you're going to realize that that simple eye roll can get your jaw wired shut if you do it at the wrong person. Many a pacifist has gotten injured by making the wrong facial expression around someone who was too drunk to understand and they got clocked in the face with a right hook. \nThat is my sage advice.",

Of course, saying "small dick energy" is offensive. It's supposed to be. That's how INSULTS work, you insult people to make them feel bad.
"Loose pussy energy" is also an insult. We don't normally use that, but there are plenty of insults for women as well.
Maybe the key here is that insulting people in general is not exactly cool

I think telling Andrew Tate that he is a delusional, misogynistic moron is absolutely fine and totally cool.
I think indicating he is a lower life form because he might have a particular body part that is a particular size is really insensitive to all other people who might also have that particular size on that particular body part. The size of one's penis does not determine their worth as a person, and telling someone they have a small penis should not inherently be an insult. It's strictly body shaming.

OP is saying that if you don’t like something about someone, insult them directly about that thing you don’t like. It’s not necessary to insult them using a body part or characteristic that’s completely irrelevant to the situation. Imagine how mad women would get if people used “fat woman energy” to insult women they didn’t like for whatever reason.

But people do insult women based on their body all the time.
All insults are immoral if you're strict about it. But they're also a normal part of social interaction. To argue that Greta's insult was in any way especially hurtful to men or whatever is laughably absurd.

Sure but that doesn’t make it right.
All insults are immoral if you’re strict about it
Not necessarily if the insult is valid, which is why I said that insults should directly be targeted towards the characteristic you’re trying to insult. Like if Andrew Tate is hating on women, calling him misogynistic is not immoral.

What is "valid" supposed to mean here? Calling Tate misogynistic is not an insult, that's a criticism. An "insult" is something that has no truth value. That is something designed to attack a person as such, without reference to their actions or views.
Calling someone an "asshole" is not an actual judgement on any factual claim about someone's butt. And "small dick energy" doesn't actually reference Tate's dick size, which obviously Greta doesn't know about.
It's kinda insane that we're discussing this. The only reason it's even a topic is because Greta wrote it.

Oh it is they just don't care there is no context to justify this because if you used an insecurity of another group like women or trans people, even if the person you are criticising is a shitty human being , people would absolutely lose their shit , vaush tried it with J.K Rowling even thou the intention wasn't misogynistic and it was supposed to be ironic no one let that slide because according to them it doesn't matter its still misogyny, which says alot considering the people defending Gretha tweet are usually very intolerant of that behavior

The phrase “small dick energy” isn’t ridiculing the physical size of the penis. The phrase is ridiculing the stereotype of a man who overcompensates due to his insecurity about his penis size.
A man with a small penis but who doesn’t try to overcompensate does not qualify as “small dick energy.” Rather, he just has a small penis.
“Loose pussy energy” is not ridiculing the vagina per se, it is ridiculing the behavior — having sex with many men — that is perceived to lead to a loose vagina (to be clear, a loose vagina due to frequent sex is wholly fictitious).
So, in sum:
Small dick energy = criticizing the behavior of toxic masculinity
Loose pussy energy = criticizing the behavior of having sex with many men (akin to calling a woman a whore or slut)

On the contrary I think the phrase "small dick energy" reinforces toxic masculinity. This even helps the anti feminist/ incel ideology gain more traction seeing how there's a modern cultural bias in body shaming.

Modern cultural values of progress, gender equality are lost on insults to men based on their physical attributes that they can't control ( penis size, height etc). I don't care when two randos are insulting each other with it but when prominent influential figures do it with millions of followers and without any major backlash it just normalizes it.

You don't know most men's penis size so any reference to it is speculation and an attempt to de-maculate them.

Am I allowed to comment if I actually agree? People say that it only hurts if you’re insecure about your size, as if that’s a moral failing. Being insecure is more to do with a trauma history or early neglect, and does not make you a bad person. Being unkind (like Andrew Tate) does make you a person behaving badly however. Leftists - please be consistent!

I'm confused by this thread. Either this subreddit is way more right leaning than I thought, or these people honestly don't know anything about left leaning morals.
This is the same reason why we condemn racist insults. We don't want to target large groups of people just for an insult. Retard has gotten backlash for the possibility of hurting the mentally disabled communities.
Small dick energy is a callused insult.

">\n\nSo you agree that Andrew Tate is delusional, misogynistic moron? Good. Glad that’s cleared up.",
">\n\nI never said that, im not weighing in on that debate, I just said that I dont mind people using those words at insults.",
">\n\nWhat does totally mean to you then?",
">\n\nOP is saying that if you don’t like something about someone, insult them directly about that thing you don’t like. It’s not necessary to insult them using a body part or characteristic that’s completely irrelevant to the situation. Imagine how mad women would get if people used “fat woman energy” to insult women they didn’t like for whatever reason.",
">\n\nBut people do insult women based on their body all the time.\nAll insults are immoral if you're strict about it. But they're also a normal part of social interaction. To argue that Greta's insult was in any way especially hurtful to men or whatever is laughably absurd.",
">\n\n\nBut people do insult women based on their body all the time.\n\nSure but that doesn’t make it right. \n\nAll insults are immoral if you’re strict about it\n\nNot necessarily if the insult is valid, which is why I said that insults should directly be targeted towards the characteristic you’re trying to insult. Like if Andrew Tate is hating on women, calling him misogynistic is not immoral.",
">\n\nWhat is \"valid\" supposed to mean here? Calling Tate misogynistic is not an insult, that's a criticism. An \"insult\" is something that has no truth value. That is something designed to attack a person as such, without reference to their actions or views.\nCalling someone an \"asshole\" is not an actual judgement on any factual claim about someone's butt. And \"small dick energy\" doesn't actually reference Tate's dick size, which obviously Greta doesn't know about.\nIt's kinda insane that we're discussing this. The only reason it's even a topic is because Greta wrote it.",
">\n\nOh it is they just don't care there is no context to justify this because if you used an insecurity of another group like women or trans people, even if the person you are criticising is a shitty human being , people would absolutely lose their shit , vaush tried it with J.K Rowling even thou the intention wasn't misogynistic and it was supposed to be ironic no one let that slide because according to them it doesn't matter its still misogyny, which says alot considering the people defending Gretha tweet are usually very intolerant of that behavior",
">\n\nThe phrase “small dick energy” isn’t ridiculing the physical size of the penis. The phrase is ridiculing the stereotype of a man who overcompensates due to his insecurity about his penis size.\nA man with a small penis but who doesn’t try to overcompensate does not qualify as “small dick energy.” Rather, he just has a small penis.\n“Loose pussy energy” is not ridiculing the vagina per se, it is ridiculing the behavior — having sex with many men — that is perceived to lead to a loose vagina (to be clear, a loose vagina due to frequent sex is wholly fictitious). \nSo, in sum:\n\nSmall dick energy = criticizing the behavior of toxic masculinity \nLoose pussy energy = criticizing the behavior of having sex with many men (akin to calling a woman a whore or slut)",
">\n\nOn the contrary I think the phrase \"small dick energy\" reinforces toxic masculinity. This even helps the anti feminist/ incel ideology gain more traction seeing how there's a modern cultural bias in body shaming.\nEdit:grammar",
">\n\n\nmodern cultural bias in body shaming\n\nI don’t even know what this means.",
">\n\nModern cultural values of progress, gender equality are lost on insults to men based on their physical attributes that they can't control ( penis size, height etc). I don't care when two randos are insulting each other with it but when prominent influential figures do it with millions of followers and without any major backlash it just normalizes it.",
">\n\nShe wasn’t criticizing his penis size. She was criticizing his personality.",
">\n\nThe insult was based on penis size. She equated men who have small penis with personality traits that are undesirable. Its funny how people are not understanding that when it literally says.. \"Small dick energy\"",
">\n\nMen who overcompensate due to a small penis size absolutely deserve criticism. Men who have a small penis do not deserve criticism.",
">\n\nYou don't know most men's penis size so any reference to it is speculation and an attempt to de-maculate them. \nSo unless you know specifically the size of said member, the phrase is meant as an insult to all men.",
">\n\nAm I allowed to comment if I actually agree? People say that it only hurts if you’re insecure about your size, as if that’s a moral failing. Being insecure is more to do with a trauma history or early neglect, and does not make you a bad person. Being unkind (like Andrew Tate) does make you a person behaving badly however. Leftists - please be consistent!"
