true

only reason one answer is clearly better than the other is cause this is a f***ed up society lol

ngl respect is obviously the "correct" answer.

imagine being liked but not respected. sounds demeaning/patronizing, like ur kept around for entertainment value only. wimpy ass existence on the low.

now imagine ur respected but not liked. yea, maybe u get lonely sometimes but u cant say it's demeaning. ppl can hate all they want, but if everyone respects u, ur value as a person is never in question. u basically bossed up on the world.

basically, would u rather be a loser or a loner? I pick loner, and I think most other people would too. op is basically asking us to choose between being a beta and a sigma, and society obviously favors the sigma.

question is dumb tho bc i feel like if ur not respected by ur "friends", then they don't really like u anyway.

if u wanna stick w "like" to describe that relationship, ur going w the most low-down scummy definition of the word.

If you don't respect someone, you don't like them

It's just some condescending reasoning. Even if you look through it with a purely business magnifying glass, you're more likely to go further by being liked than "respected". There's obviously a need to make sure people don't take advantage of you, but most of the time, people will remember the offered hands

it's like the clichéd phrases about making money, not making friends - and the whole time, people saying this stuff are where they are because they were friends with the right people

Career-wise, one of the only ways you can succeed without being somewhat "likable" is by being technically proficient and essential. And at that point, you don't need to ask yourself whether you want to be liked or respected

Na bro you can be loved and not respected. Trust. Think about someone who’s really kind and loved for his heart but at the end of the day isn’t really respected at all. In relationships how often does it happen that one partner “loves” their partner but doesn’t truly respect them at all. There’s a difference imo for sure

this is true but i don't think that really has that much to do w respect in a general sense.

ur saying u wouldn't respect dude as a working man bc his career is nonexistent. ok, but i bet u still respect dude as a person, right? like my girl is a chef fr, I can't cook for s***. if i stepped in her kitchen, it's no chance she would have any respect for me as a cook. but that's a moot point bc our relationship is not on chef-to-chef terms; she respects me as a person.

even when we don't make it explicit, the word "respect" always has an implied qualifier; i.e., "respected as a X" or "respected in the field of X". obviously, depending on the qualifier, respect means different things. like u can respect someone as a person and simultaneously not respect them as a chef or whatever. point being, if ur using the word "respect" in different contexts, u gotta keep them separate, can't equate them.

I think when we say "respect" and dont specify further, it's assumed we mean respecting someone as a person. and i would argue that if u like someone, u gotta respect them as a person on some level. and ur respect (or lack thereof) for them as a working professional doesn't affect that.

yea, just a different outlook i have on this i guess. In most cases if someone does not respect the other person, no matter what they tell themselves internally, they dont like the other person.

if you are telling yourself you love your partner yet dont respect them, I would say it doesnt matter what you are telling yourself, because you would tell the person that if you actually did love them lol. only a psycho would go on "loving" someone they dont respect

Happens all the time g. You’re right tho fs

is that rlly love tho? sounds more like some toxic sht

It’s obviously not, I see what you’re saying. Maybe what I said wouldn’t apply but my point is people claim love a lot but it’s actually hate/disrespect

Dinner with Jay-Z

i'd like to be respected

Respect is different person to persons just like liking is

The reason why a person respects someone is not universal

neither

ay let's get it bro

is drake liked or respected

It took me a real min in my adult life to understand that not everyone is gonna like me. And that can result in being a pushover when constantly trying to fit in and conform to other friend groups’ jokes and ideas

Respected.

Read the courage to be disliked

being liked just means you have a whole bunch of annoying people wanting to feed off your energy s***s only fun to people who crave validation

Respected

Ppl are less inclined to hurt u

I can tell u ppl are intimidated and want to approach u at their best

Even haters bow in your presence

Being liked is great, but I feel like ppl will try to overstep that quicker, specially toxic ppl cause they think u easy

I mean a run a TikTok racism account and all da hate comes from there
Yet irl I ain't had anyone try me
