How to get respect from others?

We can only get respect from others if we respect ourself. If people will find that we are giving due to respect to ourselves as well as others, surely they will give due respect to us. We must lead them by example. We can never impose respect to others, we must earn it.

You see gaining someone's respect will depend how much respect you give to that person. If you are giving 'respect' to say 10 persons, I believe, at least 8 out of 10 will reciprocate and will give the same treatment to you, which you give to them. There might be 2 persons in a group of 10, who may not be kind enough to reciprocrate and if they continue to show the same attitude and show 'disrect' towards you, you will start ignoring them and may snap ties with them. I mean, respect begets respect. If we follow this dictum, we will succeed.

I think to get respect from others you have to give respect, if it is thrown back at you just keep trying again and again. Show them that you do respect there views etc even thought you don't agree with them and then they should start to respect you

Respect is not the one that can be get from others rather, people you know must offer you or give you the respect....... and the people will respect you only on looking at the way you are behaving...... so,respect comes to you on your behavior........

They say respect begets respect and I think that means that person will respect you if you respect them.The truth is though you first need to respect yourself too and others will see how you treat yourself and follow suit.In addition you shouldnt be around people who dont respect you or take you for granted ,that is the first part of respecting yourself.If persons disrespect you and you do nothing about it they will continue because they think it is okay to disrespect you but even symbolically walking away will send a message as to how you expect to be treated.

Than you should try to ignore all those who ignore you. Smile for a while and leave the men or women seperate who don't want to give you respect. Don't comment on him/her , leave from there, don't respond to any bitter feeling response and says of others. Do not come too closer to any one to show you want to help others try to be short discriptive to others so they don't feel that you are becoming more conceptual to him/her. That will let the environment for you.

We couldn't control and force other people. So, the only we could change the situation is to change ourselves. So, if we would like to be respected, we should respect other first. Besides, our course of actions is giving a strong message or impression to others too. So, what we said, or what we did will affect how people think about us. So, if we are doing respectful things, then naturally, people will respect us, and the other way round if we have done shameful things. In short, what goes around, comes around. So, keep doing good deeds, you will gain respect and good endings eventually.

Hi Anjali, Respect is something that is earned but can't be demanded or forced. I think we have to give respect then only it will come back to us. If we respect somebody we have to respect their feelings, thoughts etc and we have to listen to them patiently to show our respect. If somebody is not showing respect mean the particular person does not have self-respect. Please be patient and I think you will get a chance to prove your intelligence. You please understand that it is not your fault the other person is not respecting. So take it easy, be happy and to show your respect to others. You will get it back like a boomerang. Good luck.

I think respect is mutual. It is to be gained by action and not by force. Correct action and gestures will bring respect for you as well. Some peoples are rude by habit they may not respect anyone, but a very few are like that. So don't feel down. It is part of the the life. Be happy and respect others.
