Kengisomehow Im not a respectable guy I dont think people respect me at all tbh probably cause thats how it is when youre surrounded by people who are always older than you by a huge margin so I wouldnt even know how it feels like to be respected lmfao
So I would pick liked since I wouldnt even know what to do with respect ngl

TubigI mean it’s a bit of a silly question ain’t it.
If everyone in the world respected you but no one liked you, life would be a pretty lonely experience. On the flip side if no one respected what you had to say and walked all over you, would being liked by everyone even mean anything?
Obviously in a work setting we’re there to make money not friends so respect means more. And I’m not going to get in a fight with some stranger for not liking me.
But outside of being a career boy, I’d rather my friends like me and I’d rather like being around them. That’s why we’re friends after all. We enjoy each other’s company and humor. And I value my friendships more than my position in a soulless corporation.
Like/respect aren’t mutually exclusive though.
But the biggest thing is you can earn respect. If people don’t like you, you can’t just make them like you without changing who you are and then at that point how much self respect are you really holding onto?
So I’ll say like
That's a great argument. Especially in the context of personal relationships and the real, human need for connection. But I also think there’s a deep value in cultivating respect for yourself and from others, without compromising who you are. It’s about striking that balance, finding that sweet spot where you can be true to yourself and still foster meaningful, positive relationships.
But hey, in the end, it's about what makes you feel fulfilled and true to yourself, right? If prioritizing likability in your personal life is what does it for you, then that's your path to happiness. And that's totally respectable.
Mar 29, 2024Kenginah I think its like parental relationship. Not saying that parents dont respect their kids at all but theres is definitely alot more "liked" than "respect" in the equation.
Or similarly a teacher/mentor type of situationtotally. i find these relationships less common in my life personally, which is probably why i have that take.
Mar 29, 2024·editedTbh I couldnt care less what people think about me, it doesn’t really matter! If I had to choose I guess respect? Depends on the person though. Would I trade my friends and familly liking me for respect? No. Would I want everyone to like me? Absolutely not.
Mar 29, 2024Respect is earned but choose that I’m done being liked

Mar 29, 2024·1 replyhoopsplayer21like someone cant like you but not respect you imo. that is s*** you see in like movies with archrivals and s***.
a person can like certain things about you but disregard your boundaries or be dismissive of you or your value, that’s far more egregious to me than someone thinking you’re a prick or whatever

yea, i guess i just see what you are describing as not really liking someone. if you like someone you would respect those things in my mind. but this is more so on a friendship level im talking about, not so much parental or work relationship
Mar 29, 2024S*** I'm already both so either option would be a downgrade
