Why Respect is Important
psychologytoday

Respect. Respect is something that goes a long way. You give respect, you get it back in return. Or at least that is how it is supposed to work. Here lately I have been faced with many disrespectful people. People such as those who disrespect your property when you have asked repeatedly for them to leave such object alone. Then of course there is always that one person who has to have a smart mouth about every single thing imaginable, even when it is uncalled for.

I am sick and tired of these types of people. I have been dealing with them my whole life and if I let it go on any longer I am going to explode inside. Everyone knows that one person who is rude about everything or simply just doesn't care about anything at all, so I know I am not alone in this boat. Oh and while we're at it, lets not forget about that other person who thinks everything they have or own is better than the rest in this worlds existence. Please! Give me a break for crying out loud! I am so done with all of the nonsense that currently exists within society.

Nothing or nobody in this world is better than everything or anyone else like it. All humans are humans. If you are complaining about not receiving enough respect, well then maybe you should look at your own actions and words to see that the real problem in the situation is you. The world does not revolve around you and it never will. You must earn your respect, or else you will not receive it and be seen to the outside world as a total jerk.

My entire life I have done nothing but try to please others around me. Majority of the time I feel like I am a failure, worthless, and unimportant. I do nothing but show respect for others, try to help them, etc., and I feel like I never receive anything in return, I am unhappy with how all of this plays out onto the table. Why can't the world have more respect like what it seems like it used to?

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
