    Sometimes people also use respect to mean they think you should give them respect

    Respect is to be earned, not given.

      Respect is given, in reasonable amounts, to everyone. Then they can gain more or lose it.

        Depends where you are. I’ve grown up in that kind of culture and appreciated it - then moved somewhere where respect wasn’t given by default and you had to earn it. Same goes with trust, to some extent.
