Are these people disrespecting you all the time? are these people giving you a hard time everyday? are they not giving you proper treatment? you know the reason? it's not because they're disrespectful, it's just that you're not respecting yourself. You are allowing them to control you instead of you controlling yourself, you are allowing them to penetrate your mind and make you feel something, you don't respect yourself enough because you're too focused on what they're doing, you're too focused on what they are going to say instead of you doing what is best for your life. If you really respect yourself then you will make yourself stronger, if you really respect yourself then you will never associate yourself with people who are disrespecting you. If you really respect yourself then you will do everything you can to make yourself happy and put yourself on the best position to succeed.
IF YOU REALLY RESPECT YOURSELF....
You will create your own environment, you will become better than yesterday, you will elevate your skills, you will make yourself ten times better. If people are seeing you succeeding then they will respect you, if they see you getting stronger then they will respect you. They will give you a special treatment if you are bold and knows what you really want. The universe will bend if you are forcing fate and doing it your way. If you really respect yourself then you will never waste time for thoughts, people and useless activities that will not give you anything in return. Every second you are investing your time into something, the only question is... are you investing your time the right way, will that activity you are doing right now gonna give you something in the future? are you getting rewarded for doing that? that's the only question you need to answer. Stop wasting a lot of time if you don't want to become a bum forever, you have to respect yourself. Respect your potential to become something great, you will never see greatness if you're not giving yourself enough respect.
YOU DON'T NEED PEOPLE TO RESPECT YOU
You don't need to force it, it will happen naturally. If you want people to respect you then don't look for it, don't crave for it. Just be yourself, don't try so hard, don't try to impress them, just stay busy on trying to make yourself better. Don't try to do things that you don't like just to impress them, you have to be yourself all the time and do what will work for you. Do only the things that will give you a better life. Don't watch them, watch yourself. Don't give any attention to people who doesn't respect you, don't try getting their respect. If they don't like you so be it, don't crave for their sympathy and attention. Let them live their life and you should live yours. Let them do what they want but never react to any of their actions. Never give them any look, never say anything bad against them... treat them like dead. That is power, if you can treat a person that you don't like a cold treatment then you're already in control.
PRIORITIZE YOURSELF
Put yourself on the top list of your priorities. Don't give a damn about how other people feel, stop biting their dramas, stop entering their space. You need to put your mind on the space of greatness and that can be found inside of your heart, that can be found on putting yourself on the top of your bucket list. Forget about what people say, forget about what people are going to say and just focus on yourself. Make yourself better each day, chase your goal, make the main thing the main thing. Stop giving time and energy to people who doesn't make you feel good, stop giving any attention to people who doesn't respect you. Stop entering other people's dramas, you have to create your own show, you are the start of your life, stop trying to convince yourself that you need to be nice to everyone. Be nice to yourself more than you need to be nice to everyone else. If you want them to really respect you then respect yourself, feed yourself, groom yourself and never give any attention to anything that is not helping you to improve. You have to grow everyday, outgrow the problem, evolve as much as you can, this will only happen if you will focus all of your time and energy trying to create a world that you can control.
A BULLETPROOF MINDSET
If someone disrespects you... treat him cold, feel nothing about it, you have to own your mind. Never let anyone penetrate your mind, never let anyone make you angry. If you want to gain respect, don't look for it, just be yourself and do what is best for your life that includes leaving the people that doesn't respect you, leaving a job that is against your morals and standards, ending an abusive relationship, not letting people invade your space, not letting people make fun of you. You have to have a mindset that knows the boundaries of people. You also need to ignore what you don't like if you can ignore it, don't give too much energy to people that doesn't help you to become a better individual.
IT'S OK IF THEY DON'T RESPECT YOU BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO RESPECT YOURSELF
It's ok if they're making fun of you, it's ok if they're not treating you right but have the power to walk away. If the disrespect was too much then you need to walk alone, go home, go to some other place but never associate yourself to people who's not respecting you at all. If you are ok losing everything then that's power. If you are ok losing your toxic friends, if you are ok losing an entertainment, if you are ok not going to a party, if you are ok being at the bottom, if you are ok with no help then that's power. Help yourself, carry yourself, walk beside you and never let anybody control your life, never let anybody punk you.
