It’s pretty obvious when people don’t respect you.

But what about when people do respect you?

In my experience, it’s not as straightforward.

Just because people copy you or ask you for help, doesn’t necessarily mean they respect you. Maybe they’re just taking advantage of your “friendliness” or they just want someone to do all the work for them.

“I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous — everyone hasn’t met me yet.”

― Rodney Dangerfield

Also, a lot of the signs you see tend to be “outside” focused.

But is that where respect actually comes from?

In this article, I’ll share what I’ve found to be some of the best signs that people respect you. Each sign on its own might not tell you the whole picture, but when you put them all together, it’s a powerful indication that people respect you—a lot.

You Respect Yourself

Of all the articles I've seen on "signs you're highly respected," I'm shocked that no one ever mentions this.
