Respect is not a gift.
It is our moral responsibility to give.
And each time you respect someone else, you respect yourself even more.
Because, as Robin Sharma says: The respect you give others is a dramatic reflection of the respect you give yourself.
…
On the corollary, if someone is not respecting you, that simply means one thing: They are not respecting you.
You may try to justify the story in your head or whatever, but if you feel something, you feel it for real. Have a conversation with them or if things don’t get better, know it is lack of respect.
