Contempt

Contempt is when you think that somebody is not worth your respect. It usually happens when someone does something wrong or when someone disagrees with you about something really important. It can sometimes make you feel superior to that person, like you're better than them. Contempt can lead to people being very mean and unkind or even to people hurting each other.
