7 Signs People Respect You And Want To Be Around You

Who doesn’t want to feel respected? Well, you might wonder why I asked this question at first, because it’s evident that everyone loves to be acknowledged and respected. It is an innate human need, after all! But unfortunately, sometimes things don’t unfold as we wish them to be. Because, more often people don’t reciprocate the same level of respect like we offer to them. They just pretend they respect us, but in times of need, they just walk away.

As a result, we start to distance ourselves from those people and rarely ever talk or meet them in person. Because, respect is a core part of our being, and without it, we hardly would have ever evolved this much. But, as much as respect is crucial, so is identifying the signs of being respected as well.

Here are 7 Signs That Show People Respect You

1) They Are Transparent With You

People who genuinely respect you, they find no reason to hide anything from you. They adore you for your straightforwardness and honest nature because you have nothing to hide. They trust you because they know you will listen to them in tough times and won’t turn against them for any reason. In short, you mean something to them, and it’s a sign that people respect you and value you.

2) You Respect Yourself

When you respect your job, your time, and your relationship,” people find it intriguing and irresistible. For instance, your boss wants you to work on weekend days, but you’ve promised your family for the outing, so you clearly say “no” to your boss, because here you’re respecting your family’s time and yours too. And that’s what makes people fall for you, because you’ve set your own boundaries, and no one can just walk over you or use you for their own advantage.

3) People Respect Your Boundaries

When we create healthy boundaries in our personal and professional lives, we are actually protecting ourselves from getting hurt and misused. And guess what? Most people don’t realize that! They just cross our boundaries without any intimation and eventually end up wondering: Why did they behave so inappropriately? But people who genuinely know us, they won’t enter into our lives without intimation; in fact, they ask us first if we’re available, or they simply drop a message saying, “Call me when you’re free.” So, that’s one of the signs that shows people respect you unconditionally.

Moreover, we can also understand the significance of boundaries with this example:

“You just met a guy who you had first thought was shy, but when you get close to him while maintaining a healthy boundary, you come to know how talkative and lively he is.”

So, here, when you maintained a healthy boundary, You simply allowed that person to open up to you and build a layer of truth and respect.

4) They Respect Your Time

We all have got the same amount of time on this planet, and if someone doesn’t respect your time and efforts, then they are probably just using you for their own advantage.

For instance, you’ve given your girlfriend a time to reach Sharp at 8 a.m. on PVR to watch a movie, let’s say “Kong: Skull Island,” but at the last moment she says, “I am going to meet my cousin,” and she actually did that. So, what do you think what was she doing? She’s just using your time, your emotions, and your money. Here, she gave more importance to their family members than you.

With this we can understand how it is crucial to have people in our lives who not just respect our time, but also the emotions we invested on them.

On the contrary, people who actually respect you, they will never let your time go to waste. In fact, they will first ask you, if you’re available or if you’re not that busy “can we talk”?

Following these practices, they aren’t just respecting your time, but respecting their time too.

5) They Never Say Anything Behind Your Back

People who respect you will never talk sh*t behind your back. No matter what conditions others put on them, they will always be faithful to you. Because they understand the cost of betrayal and what they will lose if they cross their boundaries.

Thus, people who care for you will never betray your trust and will think 1000 times before uttering a single word against you. But if, in case you find them bitching behind your back, then it’s better to leave them for their own good. Because living with the fake ones can deteriorate your mental and physical health.

6)  They Don’t Try To Control You

Most people have a tendency to control every other aspect of our lives. These people take our decency and honesty for granted, and find every possible way to dominate us to get what they want. They may even use different tactics to change our mind including emotional manipulation, gas lighting, past traumas, societal fears and even making us believe we are not worth a sh…t.

These people can be your friends, co-workers, family members, and even your life partner — who won’t leave a single stone unturned to suck the life out of you. Whereas, the people who adores you, they never show controlling behaviour. Instead, they give you enough space to breathe and help you get the most of your life.

7) They Love To Hang Out With You

People who value you, they enjoy your company as much as you enjoy theirs. And the reason why they do that is they feel safe and comfortable around you.  Unlike the soul suckers, they find you as a life saviour who knows how to make them feel complete in their ownselves.

You even might wonder what’s so special about you that’s making them talk to you, and spend time with you. So, here, most probably, their vibe is matching with yours, or you may have helped them in some situations, or maybe they just like your calm personality.  Whatever is that they like about you, if that’s what making them happy, then most likely, they respect you and value your presence in their life.
