Everyone deserves respect, but some people may still disrespect you.
Here are 8 essential tips you can use to make people respect you:
1. Respect yourself
If all you do is complain about everything and talk negatively about yourself, no one will respect you. Do things that portray you as respectable, and others will respect you.
2. Respect others
You cannot expect other people to respect you if you do not respect them. Treat everyone with respect regardless of ethnic background, age, or social status. They will automatically reciprocate.
3. Stand by your beliefs
We all have different views and opinions and are entitled to them. If you stand by your ideas without pushing anyone to be on your side or judging those who disagree, they will respect you. Also, do not be the type that is easily swayed to compromise on what you believe. Always weigh your beliefs by the scriptures.
4. Set boundaries
Even those who are close to you can disrespect you or use you. If you feel like they are making you a doormat, do not be afraid to tell them how you feel. Distance yourself from anyone who disrespects you, and they will soon respect you for who you are.
5. Don’t always be nice
It’s not possible to be excellent at all times. If you are only being nice to people because you fear rejection, they will never respect you. If your situation does not allow you to be friendly, don’t be nice just to please people. When you are too nice, people tend to take advantage of you and use you instead of appreciating and letting them hear you in disagreement with their wrong ways.
6. Keep promises
Honor your commitments and contracts, and people will respect you. If you have a problem with keeping your promises, you make promises beyond your reach. Only commit yourself to what you are sure of fulfilling.
7. Don’t brag
No one wants to be associated with someone who constantly boasts of their achievements without listening to others. If we are keen, we can learn so much simply from listening. Listening to someone shows you respect them, and they will also respect you back.
8. Moral uprightness
Be kind and generous, offer a helping hand, and do what is right. If people know you for all the wrong things, such as office gossip, lies, corruption, and carelessness, they will never respect you.
Thanks 👍
