Respect it or check it? Can anyone tell me what does respect mean?

Can anyone tell me what does respect mean?

Being able to understand who you are

Understanding where the distrust and lack of respect is coming from

Creating false sense of love to to be able to continually lie and humiliate a person for amusement of someone else

[xJeremyx]

I love this question!

Respect, in my opinion, should be defined as:

1. Respecting other people and not overstepping boundaries. Adhering to boundaries that people around you have set, and understanding that they have the right to have control over what they are or are not comfortable with.

Accepting that we are all fundamentally different and have our own ways of doing things, thought processes and backgrounds, and not shunning people because they seem "different" in that aspect.

2. Determining your own weaknesses and strengths, and accepting them, as well as working towards improving yourself where you are lacking, while having the humility to admit to your shortcomings.

Realizing that you are human and should be treated as such, with justice, equity and compassion.

3. Understanding and accepting authority over you, by people in higher positions, as well as of more extensive experience. You should accept that authority over you, as well as their experience, even if you dont like the person. You can dislike someone, but still hold respect for them.

Taking time to make your juniors and peers feel heard and accounted for, especially if you are in a position of authority or representation. Their opinion matters just as much as yours.

4. It is something that also has to be earned. A basic level of respect as a human should always be present, but anything above that has to be earned by developing exemplary qualities (e. g. leading by example) and using them for good, or by practising the concepts of respect towards other people.

(Opens up Google in new tab to type in "Define respect.")

1. A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
2. Due regard or esteem for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others.

So yeah, I agree with those.

[PrettyPriya]

I do not understand your poll choices. So, I didn't vote. I can tell you what respect means to me personally if that helps. It means genuinely caring about what a person has to say/do in life, no matter if you agree with it or not.

Not everyone is always going to see things the same way. To respect someone and their views, whether it be in a relationship, or your family or friends, you need to respect that not everything is the way you see it. People differ and that is okay.

To me, being able to understand that someone doesn't see things or have the same view as you is respect. Being able to be an adult about it and work through any issues.

I will give an example of myself and my SO. We have deep respect for each other. We both know what are strengths and weaknesses are. We don't always have the same opinion but are respectful of each other. That is what makes our relationship so strong.

There are several definitions of the word "respect".

1. Due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others.

2. A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.

One can be respectful of nature, human beings, goods, ideas, immaterial things or material belongings, either yours or those of other people's.

The gentleman in your 2nd. picture is certainly not respectful. His language and demonstration of power with a weapon is not respectful.

I would say that a majority of people are not respectful in all aspects of life (me included) because as soon as someone disagrees with their ideas, they tend to become violent or swear/curse the other for having a different opinion.

GaG is a very fine place where people are disrespectful.

[toxicdic82]

The last part of your answer is very so much true and the only answer being able to steal have the same courtesy when disagreeing with someone you're very smart and Lady kind of reminds me of me I wish I could know more about you I read your bio intellect turns me on I bet you're beautiful

[toxicdic82]

And you just help me smooth it out part of my morning and I can go to shave my head take a shower and log in to class cuz I was really a big thing with mine this morning I appreciate it

[SueShe]

Thanks for your kind words and if I did indeed help make your morning better, then it is mission accomplished for me. I do admire people that keep on educating themselves. Have a great day ahead of you :-)

@toxicdic82 I grew up all my life with a big butt as a guy. I gotten bullied because of it/ emasculating and treated like a bitch by both girls AND guys.

But eventually learned to grew into it and eventually handle the butt slaps lol. Gotten confidence too.

here's what I mean:

How about that counting as respect?

[Light909090]

Respect is Being nice to someone to Get what you want by being nice to them your being Respectful and also getting what you want which is good because it’s not self destructive your not doing it As a means of Selflessness which is defined as An evil Act.

[Light909090]

Being a Dick to a Dick is also Respectful because your Respecting your boundaries and showing another you won’t be used which by standing up for yourself is respectful because your respecting yourself and (YOU) is defined as a Person.
We are all
People by respecting a person it makes you respectful hence the self.

[Guy13]

It is an earned approval and trust usually ground in good leadership of others and underpinned by excellence in judgment and decision-making processes over extended time. Truly, one is King of his Castle when a woman chooses to respect the man…and give herself to her in this manner. Good luck 🍀

[toxicdic82]

We'll be on the lookout because they have a new word for disrespect it's called love

[YollyM]

Respect is the conscious recognition of someone's (other people and yourself) value as a living being

[JayParris]

[msc545]
