With self-empowerment creating a buzz, many people have gotten in over their heads and grown egos bigger than themselves. The term ‘respect' has gone out the window, and people have no regard for the feelings of others nowadays.
People are more self-centered, and everything is all about 'me.' How do I get this? Who will assist me in moving forward? Where do I go for my next vacation because I deserve it?
It's not wrong to take care of the self, but it's also not okay to worry only about yourself while disregarding other people's feelings. Avoid stepping on other people's toes and using others to move ahead.
The next person has feelings and ambitions, too, and you need to consider that. Respect does not call for much. There's really no need to bow or curtsey to every person.
Respect is all about treating others how you'd like to be treated. If something would hurt your feelings, don't do it to someone else. Live life courteously, saying words like 'thank you,' 'please', and 'I'm proud of you' when necessary.
However, do not respect others so much that you lose respect for yourself. You show others how to treat you, and if you don't treat yourself well, people will take the cue and treat you the same way.
Self-respect is a sign of self-love. When you respect yourself, others will respect you too. Demanding respect is not ego. Also, remember that you cannot force someone to respect you, but you can choose not to be disrespected.
Walk away if a situation turns disrespectful. That's how you avoid being entangled in a web of toxic relationships, unhealthy friendships, and hurtful confrontations.
