Wrong behaviour
“It takes years to earn respect, but only a moment to lose it.” This saying is accurate and should be remembered constantly! Here is a list of 10 behaviors that will make someone stop respecting you instantly.
Dishonesty
When it comes to behavior, many people find that being dishonest is the biggest turn off. Behaving dishonestly or regularly lying to your peers undermines trust. People appreciate honesty, so if they find a pattern of dishonesty or lying to you, they will quickly lose respect.
Disrespectfulness
It is possible to alienate people and lose their respect when you treat them with disrespect through insulting words or actions. Disrespecting others is bad behavior because respect is a two-way street.
Inconsistency in behaviour
If you are unpredictable and inconsistent, your actions and behavior can be very offensive to other people. If you have an inconsistent attitude or are subject to your mood swings, it can be difficult for people to trust and respect you.
Arrogance
When a person is overconfident or arrogant about something, it can be very bad. Constantly bragging about your accomplishments and making others feel “not good enough” can result in being arrogant and unpleasant.
Selfish behaviours
When you constantly put your needs and wants ahead of other people’s feelings, it can cause resentment and loss of respect in their eyes.
Not showing up
Accountability is always needed and blaming others for our mistakes or refusing to accept responsibility for our own actions shows a lack of moral character. If you can’t admit your mistakes, people will quickly lose faith in you.
Not being open to change
The only constant in life is change, resisting change will never be to your advantage. If you resist change, it will come across as ignorant and narrow-minded.
Not showing up
If you are a friend who breaks promises and disappears when the going gets tough, you will lose respect and popularity. Those who are trustworthy and reliable are respected by others.
Excess gossiping
In the long run, this won’t work for you if you like to tease and gossip about other people. Those who avoid gossip and focus on cultivating good relationships are respected by others.
You have a lack of empathy
Even children today have empathy, which is a very important quality. If you are the type to belittle and ignore the feelings of others, you will quickly become insignificant and lose all credibility in the eyes of others.
