How to Make People Respect You
People should be taught how to be respectful instead of being advised to be nice.
However, you also need to earn their respect, so why not start within?
Be the Last To Speak
It gives you the advantage of properly thinking about the topic. People perceive you as calm and respectful and will actually try to listen to what you have to say.
Learn to Laugh At Yourself
Shows you’re self-aware and secure about who you are. Also, people enjoy being around people with a sense of humor.
Match Your Actions With Your Words
Be honest with yourself and others and do as you speak. If you say one thing and do the opposite, people won’t trust you.
Be Respectful
This one is a given. Treat others how you want to be treated. Clear as water.
Be Helpful
Help others when they ask for help and acknowledge when you need help. Once again, it shows that you’re self-aware and people respect that.
Accept Change
Be able to change yourself into a better person. Be accountable for your actions, being either positive or negative, and learn from them.
