It is called an adverb. I hope this helps. :)
Some people just react in a disrespectful way. When people are disrespectful, you just have to pause, take a breath, and be nice to them. As people say “kill em with kindness”. You know you’re doing the right thing by being nice. Ignore them disrespectful people cause they’re not worth your time:-)
A verb for that sentence. Your welcome
