RESPECT NEEDS
RESPECT
Respect is like a glue that keeps our relationships
together. Getting respect from other people is important
because it makes us feel safe and it motivates us to
express ourselves. Our family, friends, and relatives
play an important role in the development of our idea of
respect. Being respected by influential people in our
lives teaches us how to be respectful toward others.
Respect is not something that was present when we
were born; it is something that we earn.
Respect means that you accept people for who
they are, including their differences in beliefs and
opinions.
INDICATORS OF RESPECT
You may determine if there is
respect in your relationships with your
family, friends, or workmates if you are
able to observe the following:
You feel safe being with them.
You know it is okay with them to
express who you are and show what
your culture is.
When you disagree, you patiently
listen to each other’s point of view.
You do not control each other’s way of
thinking or choices.
You both talk openly about your needs
and wants.
You give space to each other if there is
a need for it.
You both confess when you make
mistakes.
VALUING RESPECT
IN YOUR
RELATIONSHIP
There are times when we feel that
we are not being respected by the
important people around us, including
our family and friends. It is not always
possible and easy to ask them to
change and to request them to respect
you. However, you might want to try
the following:
Show them what respect looks
like by being respectful to
yourself.
Tell the person that his/her
actions are not okay with you.
Try to understand their opinion.
It is okay to end relationships with
people if they cannot give you respect
and if you no longer feel safe with
them.
Spend time with people who make you
feel safe and are respectful.
Give them a chance to change their
behavior toward you.
RESPECTING
YOURSELF AND
OTHERS ONLINE
The value of respect must also
be observed in the virtual world or
in cyberspace. If you do not feel
respected online, here are several
questions to consider:
Do you respect yourself online?
Watch your posts online like your
views about certain personal and social
issues. Mind your manner in using
language. Do not post anything that
may cause you bashing or negative
criticisms. Think before you click.
Have you placed yourself
appropriately to be respected?
Does your social media profile
portray you as someone who is
respectable? Not as someone to fear,
not as someone ‘sexy,’ not as someone
doing crazy things. Do you post
comments or share stuff online that are
rude or offensive?
Do you show respect for others?
You can give honest feedback,
provide criticism, show disagreement,
or stick to your opinions while still being
kind. If you want respect, give respect.
Is a comment intended to show
disrespect or are you misinterpreting
it?
Sometimes, comments are hard to
interpret. For example, what was meant to
be a funny post did not appear that way to
you. It may be because of your mood at the
time you read it. Before you go to war
against someone, ask him/her first and try
to clarify things.
Are people disrespecting your
privacy?
Learn the settings for security and
privacy especially tagging and making
comments directly on posts in your
timeline. Do not reveal your password
to anybody.
 If someone does not respect you,
why keep them as a contact?
Do not get in touch with rude or
disrespectful people online or offline.
Simply remove them from your
contacts.
 Have you experienced
cyberbullying or being harassed
online?
If you happen to encounter these,
take immediate action. Ask for help and
get the support that you need. Keep
pieces of evidences. Contact the police
if needed.
