First of all you have to respect your self. The best word to say is "NO"
The other is Thank you God. When you care about who you are other will care about you also. You respect yourself by siting boundries. You do not want anyone to be in your space. People can drain you emotionally.,
They can hurt you physically. If they are in pain you can sometimes feel it. Wash your hands alot., Water is very healing.
Washing your hands shows others that you care about yourself.
Dress nice. Go with a crowd of people on a date. Never alone.
Brush your hair alot. It shows that you feel good about your hair and your head. that your respect for your body is important.
Others will see it and respect you more. Just shake hands with people.
Ask if you want to hug someone. Hand shakes are better. They show you have respect for them. I found out that older men are taken back by that. So I stopped giving hugs. I was showing them I disrespected them.
That I was not respecting myself. A hand shake is sign of respect.
Always put your napkin in your lap. Keep your clothes clean. Sip from the side of the spoon when you eat your soup. Do not eat fast. Count your chewing 25 times. Before you swollow. Brush your teeth it helps your breath. It shows you care about yourself. People like people more when you respect yourself. This is how to gain and keep respect of others I hope this helps.

When you try to force respect it gets even worse. It is better to be a conuant of what respect is. Some people just do not get the picture. They are wrapped up in themselves. tThat they have to be avoided, till they get the picture. If not they will always be woundering what went wrong. Pray for her. She is sick mentally. Accept her for who she is.
If she has any sence, she would find out what went wrong.. Know one should be forced to anything. If you are a co-worker, talk to someone above her, and get moved. if she is the abuser, and she is the manager.
Go to someone abouve her, till you get moved to another area. Then do not talk to her, look the other way as if she does not exist.
I hope that helps.
True respect is earned. When we see someone doing something or saying something we value we respect them for it. Respect is something we give by choice not by coercion. We cannot respect someone we dislike or who bullies us and your "friend' sounds like a bully.
There is a difference between respect that is respect for someones role or position rather than personal respect to the person as an individual.
I respect the role of the police but there are police officers who I do not respect as they are bullies, dishonest or lazy.
You might want to rethink if this person really is someone you want to call a friend. Sometimes we outgrow old friends and we gain confidence that helps us see that we want friends with higher values than we expected in the past.
In my book Questing Marilyn I talk about taking a trip to England and Ireland and how I lost respect for the group leader and what I did about it. I discovered there was a time to be nice and an time to be nice to Me. It was an important time of learning for me.
Respect is earned......you can demand all you want....that isn't respect. A person either deserves it or they don't.
As everyone has so well previously stated respect must be earned. other wise it is disguised as fear, Dictator's demand it.
I have lost respect for someone who did not "do the right thing" Not doing what they said they would do..
