    Nope. Not disrespectful at all. People talk from varying heights in all situations. If you're looking for a guideline on when and if you should move to a lower physical position to communicate, that depends on the nature of the conversation, the duration etc. You already hit on the answer in your question. Comfort. For everyone involved. If you're going to talk for a while, about serious things, maybe try to find somewhere to sit where you're comfortable too. Then you're both on even ground - because part of people crouching is that it looks uncomfortable to me and it looks temporary - mainly because of that appearance of discomfort. If it's a quick 'hey what's up' and related pleasantries or other short chat, then really no need.
