Brutally Honest Advice to Make People Respect You.
You must find the courage to leave the table where respect is no longer served.
(Tene Edwards)
We are only 20% done with this century; there is lots more fun still ahead,
But, let me say this…
Sometimes it actually stresses me out thinking about how countless people have been struggling to pull out respect from their peers and society in general.
I just don’t get it, man!
Look,
I don’t think most people realize how easy it is to become a person of value, worth being respected and admired without even doing the most.
And trust me when I say this; the bar is very low.
Anyone can become one.
It’s all about principles and sets of moves.
If I did it, so can you!
Here is a bit of the story of my life.
Back in 2008 I was a loser, had zero social skills, and my self-esteem was insanely low.
Then, I said, Fck it! This has to change.
I went on to read a book called Casanova Playbook of Magnetism, and it talks from body language and conversation starters to dark mind tricks and flirting through texts.
And guess what?
I became a monster.
Here are some of the tricks…
How to Make People Respect You More
Be Kind & Courteous
This is the name of the game when it comes to how people respect you more. And let me tell you something you already know: Constant kindness can take you far in life.
People admire and truly respect a person who has empathy. It makes them feel appreciated, secured and boosts their self-esteem 10x better. That is how you build a meaningful relationships.
And this is how you do it: smile, listen, offer help to others and above all encourage them and say thank you when they need it.
Learn How To Speak Well
One pattern I have noticed among the people who are highly respected on a planet is this, they both know how to speak well. They mastered the art of effective communication.
And that's how you become unstoppable. Don’t listen to anyone who is trying to tell you otherwise. Here is a blueprint. Slow down, make eye contact, breathe, and exercise your voice.
Successful communication helps us better understand people and situations. It helps us overcome diversities, build trust and respect, and create conditions for sharing creative ideas and solving problems.

Don’t Be An Open Book
And this is where an entire game has been played. Sadly, most people still don’t get it. Listen, don’t open up much about yourself. Avoid being an open book at all costs. Don’t overshare.
Having a sense of mystery and saying less than necessary is a very necessary component you should possess in life, and it will take you very far in life. I can guarantee you that.
There is freedom in the mystery. Being too quick to share intimate details with people you don’t know and trust could prove self-destructive. Some things are just better left unsaid.
Be a Good Listener
I say this a lot, but I will say it again: Physical attraction is not enough when it comes to how to make people respect you. You must have something extra. BE A GOOD LISTENER. Full stop.
Again for the millionth time, a person who mastered the art of active listening has got all it takes when it comes to how to make people respect you without chasing.
People always admire good listeners because they are caring, attentive, and respectful. Being heard elevates you as a person. Listening builds connections and makes people like you as a person.
Highly recommend.
