[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1122484"] Respect: first you give it, then you get it. That's what most people don't get. Something I hear repeated more often than I'd like, "I'll respect him once he shows some respect to me." When two people share this alpha mentality while reality has the both of them filling a beta role, there's always going to be conflict. I got around this by being respectful to everyone from Jump Street, and simply not respecting those that have proven themselves unworthy through past actions (I realize that sounds high and mighty but I couldn't think of a more appropriate term). The catch, though, is if I see someone dickin' around someone else, I take it to heart for myself. I remember how they carried themselves while interacting with others and I keep that knowledge with me for my own future dealings with that person. I wouldn't call it holding a grudge, it's more like a proactive defense mechanism to protect myself from getting into a situation where I might lose control of my rational thought processes and get into trouble. I don't need anymore trouble in my life, lol. [/QUOTE]
