Respect is reciprocal and it doesn't begin with what you say. On many occasions, many individuals determine how they will treat you the second the set their eyes on you. The funny thing is that they have not even seen you before or have they heard you speak before. It not by chance, it's the outcome of some influential attributes that shows the world that someone is confident, strong and worthy of respect.
Some of the secret ways of gaining the respect you need:
Your Confidence Talks Before Your Voice Does
Confidence in a man doesn't need to shout but it's being noticed. The question may be, how is it noticed? It's noticed by the thr way you walk, stand, sit and even the moves you make communicates to the people around, weather you belief in yourself or not. As a man, you don't need to talk or brag about yourself, the true confidence is being calm and controlled. With this people will definitely give you attention and respect.Your Energy Enters the Room First
As a man, your energy should be felt before any word is out from your mouth. From experience, there are some people if they enter a room which you are, you automatically feel the chaos they carry, while some can walk into the room and you feel the peace around there.
Your presence should readiates peace, strength and positivity. With this lifestyle people will trust you the more and take you more seriously.Your Appearance Sends a Strong Message
Your first impression really matters, most people thing it's base on designers clothes, I will say no, it's base on how neat you are, how clean you are and how intentional you presentate yourself. A well groomed appearance tells people you are discipline and serious about your life. This actually says you should show self-respect first and with this, people will naturally respect you back.Your Body Language Speaks Loudly
Before any word comes out of your mouth, as I said earlier, your body was already communicating. Good posture, steady eye contact and relaxed shoulders work a purposeful movement shows that you are confident and mrtured. Respect are only given to people who appear in control of themselves.Your Reputation Arrives Before You Do
Your character defines who you really are. How do you treat people, how do you handle challenges, or how do you work when people are not watching you. All this things build your reputation. And the reputation speaks louder than any introduction.
In conclusion, people give respect to you even before you speak because of the silent signals send. I said in the introduction that respect is reciprocal this will happen when you respect yourself that's when others will respect you. When you master your presence, you don’t ask for respect rather you will attract it naturally.
