How to make people respect you
Respect means that you accept somebody for who they are, even when they're different from you or you don't agree with them. Respect in your relationships builds feelings of trust , safety , and wellbeing . Respect doesn't have to come naturally , it is something you learn . Respect is not given , respect is earned . Some people have misunderstanding that just because they are at certain level of their work , status or society , so they must be respected , irrespective of their behaviour and doings . In such scenario people might respect you infront but deep down they'll have no respect . They'll talk rubbish about you behind your back .
Respect is not just limited to work , friends , elder or younger , it's much more than this .
Human recognition respect is the respect we give to our elders , status recognition respect is the one we give to someone who is above our status level and appraisal respect is when we praise someones quality and respect for it .
If you as a human earn people's respect then you are a beloved to everyone .
So today I am going to tell you some ways of earning respect .
Here we go
1) Be kind
You should always be polite to your partner , friends , family or a stranger . It sounds really simple , right ? But it's very difficult when your day is not going so well . And that's completely normal . We all have all kind of days , happy , sad , best , worst but we can't let our emotions be the cause for other's disrespect .
You're reading this article because you want everyone to respect you , so the same way everyone wants you to respect them .
Small loving gestures can make you earn a lot of respect like help those who can't cross the road , give a glass of water to the delivery man who comes to deliver at your door step .
Smiling & thanking is the best way to show your kindness and politeness .
2) Act Respectfully
Don't behave disrespectful to anyone . Listen to the person talking , even if you don't agree to him . Don't ignore him/her and act as if they aren't present . Put yourself in the person shoe's . How would you feel ?
There's a quote " Give respect to get respect ." So in order to earn respect first you should respect others . It's not a one way traffic that the other person should respect you only . No ! You too have to give the respect .
3) Listen well
When someone is talking to you , listen actively . This will not only increase your respect in their eyes also this improves your communication skill .
People often don't listen properly and keeps on adding their opinion and some people start telling their stories . Instead of speaking , try to ask questions that encourages them . When you listen well , you make them feel valuable and this increases your value too and you are respected .
4) Don't make excuses
Take responsibility of your actions . If you did something wrong unknowingly be responsible for it . Don't blame it to others . Accept your mistakes . Instead of blaming or regretting about the mistake , try to move on and focus ahead . Commit to work better than befor . Society doesn't respect those who do not accept their mistake . So don't make excuses or blaming others instead grab opportunities to move ahead .
So these were small behaviour changes that can make people respect you .
Happy Learnings 🙌
