I demand respect!

Most often the ones who say something like this title are the most disrespectful ones with one-sided relationships. All praise go toward that individual. Having standards and lines you won't let someone else cross is fine and good. It prevents the other person from disrespecting you. That's needed in a healthy relationship. But some seem to forget to return the same. Always on the look out for disrespect against themselves, actual or perceived.

Now to take this and reflect it as a mirror. Having grown as a person and gotten better, am I possibly misstepping upon myself? Is it possible I'm looking at others' behavior and not checking myself? We all have to continue to be aware of our own actions. It can be easy to overlook how we impact the world and people around us.
