You're entitled to your opinion. I don't see why I should respect people that don't respect themselves.
If I had a big fat arse due to eating ten cream cakes a day for ten years, I wouldn't expect respect, I'd expect people to say "my god, that's a big fat arse!".
Respect is to be earned, not simply expected.
Source for the lack of self respect? Or is that just your... opinion?
Honestly, that sounds like no self respect to me. But what do I know?
Nope, expertise is something you earn. Respect should be expected.
I always felt weird when people would tell me respect is earned, since I give everyone I meet respect until they give me a reason not to. Glad to see I'm not the only one with that perception.
You're right, that's also my perspective. I too am glad to see I'm not alone.
