I demand it.

I earn it.

I just pretend like nobody is even there.

My presence is what you get, Respect is payment.

" Don't demand Respect from others, but don't tolerate disrespect either "

- Me

I think I'm too nice when it comes to setting boundaries. And it's really understandable cause of the way that I'm buit. But. I think it's high time that I make people stand on it.

In many settings I just keep to myself. Even if people talk to me, I keep it polite then move on. I don't give them the chance to push my boundaries.

All I can do is be a Mom. I don't have patience to earn people's respect. People are either respectful, like humans can be, or they're disrespectful. I have no ambition to change their minds.

@Umile I need it straight. People tend to play games and manipulate. I think it's just human nature. I don't want to fall for somebody's bull crap though. I can feel their expectations and hesitations and at this point in my life I can't handle it.

@SW-User nmh. Go with your gut. Think it through. Try to do it calmly.
