Respect is never too much to ask for. Respect is one of the most basic foundations of human relationships. Without respect there can be nothing. No trust, no vulnerability, no care. no authenticity, no love.
Respect is something that should be taught to all children from as young as possible. When we respect someone we give them sovereignty over their own being. We honor their choices, their wants, their needs, their individuality. To the little ones, we teach respect by consistently and without fail giving it to them. We teach them respect by only ever being respectful to all others. To learn respect, they need to see it. They need to feel it.

Respect is never too much to ask for. It is a baseline. It is a requirement. It is the starting point. It is the foundation of everything.

If a person can not give you respect, then they do not get to proceed from there. Respect is the baseline requirement for engagement. If respect is not given, we can wait for the person to be ready to engage with us respectfully before we are ready to listen to them,.
Respect is NEVER too much to ask for - respect is the minimum requirement.

My wish for you is that one day you will know this.
