If you do not explain you just might not care. I don't think that is the same as disrespect. Disrespect seems a little more active to me. But maybe it isn't to you. I feel there is this huge area between respect and disrespect where you just don't care yet. Where there is no selfish duty (except to obey the laws, and only then if you buy into the social contract) and no privilege. That is the area I am thinking about. You seem to be thinking about close friends and family. Even there I don't see it as a duty we owe- but rather as self preservation, and preservation of the emotional cocoon most people have.
