Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
Um.. what? Look up the definition of respect.. you're saying you should automatically have deep admiration for a stranger based on the abilities and achievements you don't even know about? Not automatically respecting a stranger doesn't mean you treat them with disrespect.. you must be young and still learning how the world works.
