Top 10 strategies to gain respect from others

  

1. Don't seek approval from others:

 When you don't try to seek approval, other people can tell and will respect you for this. Know the difference between being liked and respected. It's more important to be respected rather than liked. People can like you but not respect you. I think respecting someone means admiring their character and treating them in a fair way. If someone likes you, it may merely mean they may like what you can do for them. 

Be true to yourself and don't care about what other people think. Often, if people see that you're trying to receive their approval they will take advantage of this. Also, they will think you're not being sincere, because you're changing who you are to get their approval. 

 

 

2. Stand up for Yourself:

 

People can't respect you unless you stand up for yourself. Standing up for yourself means not tolerating disrespectful behavior from others. When others know that you will not tolerate negative behavior, they're more likely to treat you better. Standing up for yourself means having boundaries. It shows that you respect yourself and expect to be treated fairly. 

 

 

3. Always be true to Yourself:

 

People will respect you when you're true to yourself. This means knowing who you are: your values, morals and beliefs. Stick to what you value, even when others don't agree. For example, if you're in a work situation and there is something that you don't think is morally right. Stay true to what you think is the right thing to do. This means having integrity. Although some people might be upset, ultimately they will respect you for having the courage to stay true to your own beliefs and values. 

 

 

 

4. Don't Be Too Agreeable:

 

When you always agree with others too easily people might see this as weakness. Know that it's okay to disagree with others. You can voice your opinion and still do this in a kind way. When you act like your opinion matters, others will respect what you have to say. People tend to reflect the way we feel about ourselves. If we act like our opinion doesn't matter, or is less important than someone else's, then others might think that too. 

Disagreeing with others doesn't mean you're being rude. It just means you're being honest and direct. It lets others know that you're not afraid to be honest with your true opinions. 

 

5. Don't let your greed define you:

 Do you know what is the one biggest thing to control for humans? The answer is nothing but greed. Almost every person in the world used to have greed for different things. Greed can be for anything. but mostly people are likely to have greed for food, money, possessions, power, fame, status, attention, admiration and sex. As a human, I am sure that you are also having greed for any of these things and even to tell the truth I am also not an anomaly of that. No matter what you're having greed for, it will always downgrade your respect to others. Maybe you're greedy for food, then soon people will start calling you a big foodie and even your bad eating habits will make you fat and ugly. If you're greedy for having attention, then it will lessen the value to others for you and also will destroy your personality. If you're greedy for money, then it will never let you be honest and soon people will start hating you. Even your greed might make you destructive. So, never have greed anyway or otherwise you will start losing respect so hastily and even sometimes unexpectedly.

 

6. Get out of your comfort zone:

One of the biggest strategies that you can ever follow for gaining respect is to improve yourself from who you're today. But, your comfort zone will never let you do this. It's a dangerous place and also a dangerous addiction. Your comfort zone will give you comfort for an usual time but it will distract you silently by stopping you from achieving your goals and by wasting your valuable time. Moreover, if you're working before mastering a skill, then your comfort zone will make you entirely inconsistent and even will make you compelled to lose all of your creativity and skills. In a word, your comfort zone will make your life entirely meaningless and useless. And, the fact is, if you can't find the meaning of your life, then you will never find anyone to respect you because you already don't know why you should be respected. So always be aware of the comfort zone trap. 

 

7. Don't believe in rumors:

Do you know what is one of the biggest traps in the generation that can make you lose your respect unexpectedly? Well, It's nothing but believing in rumors and also becoming a part of spreading that. You see we are living in an internet based generation where we notice and read tons of news almost every day on all those popular social media platforms including facebook, twitter and instagram. And you will be surprised to know that according to a source, estimated 86% of the internet users admit being duped by fake news. Don't you think the number is quite a lot? Obviously the answer is yessss. Now it's undoubtedly challenging to figure out which news is fake and which is not. But, after all, only with a little more attention, we can always save ourselves from being influenced by fake information. In that case, I will suggest not to believe everything you see on the internet. Also, don't share anything without understanding what it really means. Because, when you share any fake information, you also become a part of it. Just like that, in real life, if you hear someone gossiping about one of your trustworthy friends or anyone like that, then never believe them anyway. Otherwise you will lose respect so effortlessly!!

 

8. Share your knowledge with others:

This is one of the easiest strategies to gain respect from others. There are several ways you can use it for sharing your knowledge with others. If you're an expert in something, then you can help them in that place. Moreover, sometimes you can also help someone by only encouraging them with your helpful knowledge. Sharing your knowledge will really help you to gain respect by giving them a positive idea about you and also will bring you a reams of admiration 

 

9. Stay thankful for the things you have: 

It's always crucial to stay thankful for what you have. In a word, you can also call it gratitude. Simply, you can get two outstanding benefits from gratitude. The first is, you will always feel good about yourself and it will give you amazing mindfulness. Secondly, it will bring you more respect than you can ever expect. Because, when you have mindfulness, then it makes you appear as a positive person in front of others and as you already know that people always love a positive person and admire them a lot. Just like that, if you don't have gratitude, then it will make you depressed and will make you an extremely negative person. Since, you will never find peace, instead you will always find dissatisfaction out of your life. And, to tell the truth, people are likely to be avoiding a negative person for the most part since they presume that they can also be negative if they are with a negative person. So, always try to stay thankful for what you have in your life.

 

10. Think outside the box:

Thinking outside the box means thinking in a completely different and creative way that not everyone can be thinking of. I understand that it's not so doable to think outside the box and even whenever you want. But it's possible. It just takes practice and an entirely positive mind. Then , I am sure that it's going to be a piece of cake for you to be thinking outside the box.
