Being Insensitive
One common way people lose respect for you is through being insensitive. Whether it’s making a joke at someone else’s expense, not paying attention to how your words affect other people, or just brushing off others’ opinions without consideration- in most cases will make people lose the respect they have for you.
To maintain respect from those around you, always remember to consider other peoples’ feelings before speaking out. If you are ever in doubt whether or not something is appropriate to say, it’s best to stay silent. By respecting other people’s boundaries and opinions, you will never have to worry about losing respect in their eyes.
Respect is a valuable thing to have, and it can be lost quickly. As this is the case, you should always consider how your words or actions affect others.
