Every person wants to be respected by others. Certain ways can help to become an authority among friends, family, and colleagues, according to the Hack Spirit website.
Keep your promises
Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, whether with a partner, colleagues, or family members.
When trust is broken, respect is lost. If you want to maintain an atmosphere of respect in your circle, others need to see you as a reliable person.
Sincere apologies can help rectify the situation if you have not kept your promises.
Take responsibility for your actions
Don't be afraid to admit your mistakes and learn from them - it will only enhance your authority and earn you even more respect in the long run.
If you have set out to do something, it is worth seeing it through to the end and showing your responsibility.
Don't give in to emotions
How someone handles difficult situations shows their true character when it comes to respect.
Respectful people keep calm, no matter what obstacles they encounter.
Being self-aware means understanding the impact of your emotions. It means not letting them take over and risking ruining trust and understanding.
Avoid gossip
Gossip can be very tempting, whether you're chatting around the water cooler at work or having coffee with friends.
It can ruin your relationships and even your reputation.
Just remember, if you want respect, you need to avoid talking about people you know.
If you always seem to know everything first, others may hesitate to trust you with their news and secrets. You could be called a gossip.
Speak your mind
A common mistake many people make is confusing respect with likability.
Those who prioritize being liked may put in a lot of effort to win people over.
Honesty and expressing your own opinion garner more respect than embellishment to please others.
