Do you think respect is based on professional success or personality?

The way you behave etc

I am not sure how professional success correlated with how you show and give respect to someone or treat others with.
Professional success intertwines with how one demonstrates respect and treats others. The way we display respect to individuals of various backgrounds and education levels reflects our self-respect and our personality as a whole.


Respect, which incorporates politeness and confidence, is a significant aspect of one's personality. However, it's sometimes misunderstood or misconstrued as a lack of confidence, low self-worth, or a deficiency in character. Often, individuals with egotistical or inflated personalities, sometimes even those with lower IQ or EQ, mislabel others based on these misunderstandings.


For some, maintaining a respectful attitude towards everyone might lead to a sense of aloofness. This distance might be necessary in situations where others misinterpret this respect as a lack of assertiveness or boundaries, leading them to overstep and undermine an individual's intelligence.


In certain cases, maintaining a certain distance or aloofness becomes a strategy to navigate interactions, especially with those who consistently misinterpret respectful behavior as a weakness or an invitation to disregard boundaries.


In essence, navigating respect, boundaries, and perceptions in professional interactions is a complex interplay of personalities and often requires a delicate balance to ensure one's self-respect and maintain professional integrity.

Every person deserves respect unless proven otherwise.

I can admire the career path or the personality but I don't think it has anything with respect...

One of the odd things is that women feel a need to respect men to be in a relationship whereas men don't feel that need at all. Pyschacks makes that point quite strongly.

Are you asking if professional success engenders respect in a woman or if respect is engendered by the way he carries himself?

For myself there are very few people I would say I respect and they are all guys.

I can count on one hand the number of people I respect based on their professional success. Usually I just don't care. If you're a shitehead I'm not going to respect you. If you bang out the day without pissing in my Kool aide I'll give you a basic level of respect.

Women generally judge and respect people on personality and optics. Men generally judge and respect people on skills, success and competence.

You really see this when it comes to politics. Women tend to favor (or dislike) candidates based on their personality. Men however pay more attention to a candidate’s policy.

Now of course there are always exceptions each way. But I definitely have seen a pronounced gender difference on this during my lifetime.

You must respect those you wish would respect you.


Career choices or educational background only matter to superficial people. If you respect them, then how you choose to make your living shouldn’t matter to them.

It’s based on morals. The bible says if you judge religious people by their income and not by their obedience to God, you will go to hell.

Personality. You can be the most professionally skilled person and the highest rank in the room, but if your personality is trash, I treat you like you are trash.

Depends on the person. Everyone has their own takes in what they respect the most and least.

[bededazzle]

it’s based on self respect

[msc545]

Probably both.

Depends totally on each person.
