问题     When we fail to demonstrate respect for ourselves we are indirectly encouraging others to disrespect us as well. Respect means showing regard or consideration. If we don’t value ourselves with this esteem and we disregard ourselves, then others will most likely follow suit. Lack of self respect can discredit an individual and others can sense it. This also holds true for how we treat others. If you have no respect or lack of it for yourself, then it can be difficult to implement and understand the importance of respecting others.
    Respect should not have to be earned. It should be given out of simple kindness and human nature. Unfortunately, compassion and empathy has fallen flat in today’s society. Overall, people don’t seem to care much about one another and even sadder, they don’t seem to care much about themselves. Sometimes we must teach or show people how to treat us by emulating it. This can be done or displayed in the way we hold ourselves. For instance, showing respect for ourselves can be in the form of how you speak and act. When you have self respect, you tend to have a high value of yourself and it shows in your behavior. You present yourself in a way that tells others, "I am worthy and I am a decent person. " Lack of respect is also evident in the way you speak. You may refer to yourself or others negatively and may act or do things that are demeaning to yourself and them.
    Disrespect directly states, "I don’t care about you or your feelings. " People are going to treat you however you allow them to whether good or bad. When you exhibit self respect, you will not under any circumstances stick around to allow or encourage others to treat you in a disrespectful manner. They will quickly learn that you do not tolerate that type of treatment. You will also be more likely to show respect to other individuals because you realize that they are just as worthy of it as you are. Even the most unpleasant, disrespectful person can learn by example. Being treated with dignity and respect promotes feelings of goodwill and beneficence. As much discontent and disregard as there is in the world today, I still like to believe that most people are generally good, kind and caring. While they may not be the majority, they are the exception and if we each start with ourselves it will be much easier to pay it forward.
It is regrettable that respect is______.
