No I don’t demand I try to be kind and not judge. I don’t forget about it though. In a professional context then yes I do when needed.

No. I want and openly give it. I don't not believe in the "must earn it" attitude which is self serving. Give a little, receive it back. Common decency which lacks today.

No it's not a demand. People are allowed to have their reasons for not thinking I deserve respect. Those are just obviously people I should have distance between.

There's very little I demand, but I give respect and normally receive it. It is disappointing when I don't.
Not everyone is God's child- only those in Christ are.

I give everyone respect, I tend to get it back.

everyone deserves respect but i think everyone also needs to set boundaries on what is acceptable and unacceptable. that way people know they can't cross your line

Nope. I already know people don't respect me. I give everyone a basic level of respect but they don't get to demand it of me either.

You should always treat other people in the SAME way that YOU would like them to treat YOU.

@4meAndyou For me, that would be a clean slate, keeping no record of wrongs.

@H1raeth That's part of St Paul's definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13. 🙂
H1raeth · 36-40, M
@FreddieUK Yes. Thankyou Fred.

Respect must be earned.
H1raeth · 36-40, M
@Zonuss Interesting. Do you respect children? Please don't get up in arms. Obviously I'm not asking if you're a chi mo, its just the perfect example of someone you should just respect because they are a living soul.

@jshm2 I think that show 'House' is about a man who is a bit mean but a great doctor. I've known a few people like that....I gave them all due respect lol.

I think the 'demand' thing for me is about when someone treats you like refuse on a stick. I think we've all been there. Where you wanna flip a table, the condescension is that bad.
