I had been thinking about starting a thread about this very topic. Came to read and you had already done it.
I have gone back and forth for years about this topic. I know in my M, I didn't give or get respect. I understand that on a very logical and emotional level.
What I have struggled with as of late is, what exactly is respect? How is it defined? What does it look like? How does one show respect so that others feel respected?
Those are answers I don't feel like I have. For whatever reason, it is a concept that my brain can't seem to grasp.
Thoughts?
