You can’t force someone to respect you, but you can refuse to be disrespected.

Respect is something which we all demand and cherish for. A simple thing that can make a huge impact on our personalities. A glorious career gets the pie on the cake with a respectful salute. A salute that summaries the importance of your services in any specific place. That respect is the final showdown for you. Respect is the thing which is never judged by age but the person and his gestures. Sometimes a little guy deserve massive respect but an older one doesn’t. There must be some reasons and you cannot deny it. You can’t force someone to respect you. Respect doesn’t come from hands or legs which you can force. It comes from heart. So before getting your desired respect, you need to respect others. Beside this, you need to be careful about your own respect which is known as self respect. You can stop people for continuing disrespecting you. You know what, maybe I should talk about the topic. How about that?

Topic: You can’t force someone to respect you, but you can refuse to be disrespected.

Hello readers, my family, good to see you back here. It's Thursday & I think, this day can be perfect for some life motivational speeches. Ok, I'm kidding but the topic which I'm going to talk about is definitely serious in my point of view.

Respect is a feelings, a method, a discipline that is must in human's life. No matter who we are, what we are or from we are, we all have the special identities. We seek love, we need care & most of all, we deserve respect. That is must for human beings. Respect earns respect as the older ones say & this is absolutely true. When you give someone respect, in return you have the same. People know about it and follow it. But there is always an another part of it. The part where we feel disrespected. A part where we see a reverse view of character. A point comes when you feel that you are not getting what you actually deserve. The respect, yes of course.

Self respect is everything. If you don't get what you deserve, then it’s completely ok to talk against it. In the end, we all want the appreciation but if people continuously disrespect you, you have the right to make the things upside down. This can be happened in any place. You should speak about it. No one has the right to make your worth down. You are having your own foods, you are working with your own abilities, you are receiving your own earned bread, so no one has the right to talk about it.

For example, we face the disrespectable attitude of people at work. They criticize us. Well, no human is up than error. They do fail in submitting anything but that doesn’t matter someone has the authority to speak in odd language. People shout at work and make it odd for us. Colleagues look at us and enjoy the humiliating situation. If you don't raise your voice at that time, they will do it again and again. This is not worthy.

Another example we can see in a relationship. Maybe the boy or the girl has showed his/her ultimate respect to another one. Maybe they have forbidden something to do. But the opposite one totally deny that fact and continue arguing. This is the disrespectful act for the relationship. You can handle it once or twice but not everyday. You must speak up. One has no power to demolish your love like that way. The world is not empty, you will definitely find someone who will respect your feelings. But no more embarrassment in relationship. The person don't deserve you. Respect is must in a beautiful relationship which is very rare nowadays.

Respect is earned by giving it or showing the same nature. It cannot be forcefully earned or snatched. You must speak when people disrespect you. It is you who has the right to do it. You can refuse the disrespectful acts, you must.

The most important thing is that we respect ourselves and our loved ones, and if someone does not respect us, they do not deserve our attention.

Yes. If we want to be respected, we should respect others. There's no harm in treating other peeple with respect. It does not make you less of a person.

Dear Lucifer, I completely agree with you, the condition for a lasting relationship is mutual respect. If one of the parties doesn't find it necessary to respect us, this relationship is definitely no longer worth continuing, and by staying in that relationship we will definitely humiliate ourselves.

We want to be respected and respected by others. Respect deserving people get more and there are some exceptions.

Good manners make a person respectable to others. And gets respect. But respect is not obtained by force. Creation of beautiful relationship between the big and the small of the society through respect and affection.

Good manners are important. You can’t just go & disrespect someone & then want respect.

It is vital to use good manners to gain respect. Bad behavior does not lead to the expectation of good behavior or equality from others. First we have to learn to respect others, then we can hope that we can also get respect

We cannot beg for respect or love, time or dedication. It is better to offer the best of ourselves to the world and the world will return you in blessings, perhaps bringing you some good friends who truly love and respect you.

You had good points on why we should be respected and why we should respect others. Yeah, it should be given to all, but if they disrespected you. Hmm. That's another talk.

It’s a no for disrespecting people. They have no rights to do so.

$ 0.00

Exactly! We cannot beg people to respect us but we can show our respect to others accordingly. Sometimes a person can't get the respect that he/she thought he/she deserve as sometimes the problem was with them. A person will respect to one another if they know to show respect and they know how to respect their selves too. Some people are demanding and yet insensitive with their actions. Respect each other, respect yourself but don't allow any of them to disrespect your respectful act.

I agree luci. We can't force someone to respect us. We don't have a right by doing that. It's their life. We are the outside. Yes luci I agree too but we can't refuse. We have a right to voice out those people who disrespect us. We are in a right shoe to defend ourselves.

Everyone is born equal. Respect is reciprocal, what we give out is what we take back. And once we del the world is giving us back what we did tube out by disrespecting us, they can choose to avoid it for something better or for someone who values and respect us
