The need for recognition from others is one of the leading in a person. The quality of life of a respected person is much higher than that of people who do not enjoy authority. To get others to respect yourself, you need to change your behavior and worldview.
Some people confuse respect with fear. A bully with bulging muscles, who does not know how to behave, is a matter of concern. The object of respect is an intelligent, strong, educated person who is not alien to either a sense of humor or the ability to empathize.
To gain respect, it is necessary to demonstrate positive qualities that are valued in society. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. Even if the person offends you, show restraint and do not stoop to his level. By doing this, you will show him and those around him that he humiliated himself in the first place.
Celebrate the victories and achievements of the people around you. In conversation, emphasize the dignity of colleagues and friends, not yours. But don't become a hypocrite. If you have a negative opinion, express it correctly and openly.
Even if you are completely confident in yourself, always listen to the opinions of others. Show the people you are talking to that you are interested in them. Respect people, and they will respond in kind.
Constantly evolve and master something new. A person must constantly grow: a personality that has stopped in development quickly begins to lag behind the times, to degrade. Learn languages, travel, play sports - and you will always be a welcome guest and companion.
Develop leadership qualities. Start small - organize a corporate or family event. At work, make suggestions, do not be afraid to take responsibility and do not remain silent when proactive workers are required.
Emphasize your strengths and do not expose your weaknesses. If you do not understand the subject of the conversation, say so, and do not invent non-existent facts. But if the conversation touches your area of expertise, do not get lost and prove yourself as a competent, educated interlocutor.
Do not neglect your appearance either. Keep fit and buy quality clothing. Your behavior should correspond to your appearance and status - do not fuss, behave calmly and confidently in any situation.
In addition to all of the above techniques, your inner attitude is also important. If you want to be respected by others, first of all, respect yourself. Don't get hung up on the failures of the most influential people. But strong and respected people, unlike weak ones, know how to admit mistakes and move forward.
