A need. Not a want.
Respect is key to all relationships, even the one with yourself.
Not having it is an absolute deal breaker.
It’s a basic right as a living being to get respect.
But without fail, some people refuse to give it.
You can’t force them, but you use your intellectual power to command it from them.
Here in this post, we will cover the must-haves tools to commanding respect from anyone.
1. Don’t try to assimilate
The first way to command respect is to not assimilate and become like everyone around you. You can still relate to people, but you must maintain your uniqueness and individuality. This is important because it will show others that you are honest and have integrity. They will know they can trust you as an honest resource for feedback, ideas, and a unique perspective.
In the society of your youth, social constructs taught you to constrict your identity so you wouldn’t get judged by others. While it’s important to monitor your actions around others, this does not mean you create a false self to look a certain way towards others. By assimilating, you are creating an unconscious belief that the real you is not good enough. Once others see you as a people-pleaser, they will seek to use you as a pawn or a personal punching bag. Also, you will never find true and genuine companionship if you assimilate.
In addition to people trusting you, they will also admire you a lot more. They will think you are courageous for being yourself in a place full of posers. Some people will run from you, but the best people will stay because they admire you and genuinely want to connect. Every relationship you have in life will be next level.
2. Create your unique ideas
Your unique ideas are the most valuable gift to the world because your perspective is unlike any other. When making and presenting your ideas, always pick something that resonates with you, and not something you think other people will like. That doesn’t mean you ignore others' opinions, it means that you make your opinion just as important. This is crucial because it will accentuate your value in any job or relationship and make you irreplaceable. Once you are deemed as irreplaceable, people will treat you with the ultimate respect and care.
Up until about ten years ago, you lived in a world where ideas were screened according to what others would and would not accept. This caused you to also hold your ideas inward for fear of what others might think of you. As a creator, this was in direct opposition to your nature. From there you built up limiting beliefs to justify why you couldn’t share or create your ideas. These limiting beliefs will be seen by others and cause them to disrespect you because they see that you don’t respect yourself.
In addition to becoming a valuable asset that deserves respect, you will also empower yourself and take action. Your confidence will propel you to take the initiative and plan ahead. Once they see your drive, others will respect you even more. By showing you are a person who has conviction and takes action, their personal opinion of you will skyrocket.

3. Listen to other opinions
You have to approach others with respect to gain respect. This means considering others your equal and listening to them as you would yourself. It’s not necessary to follow everything they say, but at least consider other perspectives, ideas, and opinions as valid. This is important because not only will people appreciate you, they will also begin to see you as a leader and a voice for others. When people see you that way, they will begin to show respect to you in a whole new way.
You have grown up in a world of people looking at lack. This means that people are always trying to take before they give. Because of this, a lot of people think everyone's out to get them and believe that other opinions or ideas will harm them. It takes a brave person to be able to give respect before receiving it back. When people see this bravery, they will have no problem honoring you with their respect and trust.
Also, listening to others' opinions will show you as a kind and compassionate person. While most people are cordial, it is hard to find a genuinely compassionate person. By openly showing kindness, leadership, and unique ideas, you will command respect from anyone whether they agree with you or not.
4. Accepting failure
Accepting failures and finding the wisdom in them is key in commanding respect from others. When people see that you are an evolving person just like them, they will be much more likely to listen to what you have to say. This is important because you will be able to delegate tasks, grow together, communicate ideas better with your colleagues and team members. They will be much more receptive to working with you.
Everyone in life fails or misses the mark at something. Out of fear, some people act like they have no faults and create a façade of pride and arrogance. These people do not work well with others because they constantly feel bossed around and lied to. When you accept and work through your failures with humility, other people will easily bond and work with you. Once they feel a connection with you on a personal level, they will openly show you respect and love.
Accepting failures with humility will also give you a competitive edge and up your value. Because of your ability to learn from your mistakes, others will begin to look at you as an authority in your field. As an authority, your reputation will begin to command respect and crush competition.
