what kind a respect u demand from ur friends

I wouldn´t think those are friends at all. I would call them merely aquaintances. I am blessed with some wonderful friends. They are not a lot, but they have been with me in good and bad times. I feel that you don´t have to be friends with someone in order to respect them. It is the least you can do for another human being. If a person hasn´t learned that basic lesson in life, I keep away from him/her. There are nice people everywhere. Keep on looking! Luck and take care

I only demand the same amount of respect as I give them. You should let your friends know how you feel. The thing is, if you keep quiet and not say anything at all then they might think that you're fine with it and they'll just go on doing it. :-)

hello ravirai! i think everybody deserves to be respected no matter if they are our friends or not...but respect i think is something that cannot be imposed...it is earned. respect is very important to have a good relationship with our friends, respecting each others opinion and beliefs i think is really important...but make sure that you can stand on your beliefs and be firm on it. that way i think you can earn their respect and of course you need to respect them also. try to talk to them sometime about how you feel..maybe they don't really realized that they are hurting you already... with me, as far as i remember, i don't have any friend whom i think disrespects me since then... have a nice day!

i think respect is respect. i have no different idea about the meaning of respect. as you said your friends sometimes not acceptyour comments or suggestions. i don't think it means they don't respect you. different people have different ideas for same thing. even ourselves we sometimes have very confidential opinios about one thing. so it's not big issue if you do have different statement with your friends. the most important is to respect everyone's right to speak out their own idea.

The only thing I really ever expect from anyone in general is respect. Even the lowest level of respect. If I haven't been rude to you or disrespected you, then I generally expect the same level of decency (not that I ever really get it nowadays). I try to respect all of my friends as much as possible. Sometimes we don't agree, but that's to be expected and I accept their viewpoints just like they accept mine. There isn't always as much respect as I would hope, as I recently found on when I was getting married.
