Hi I am interested in some feedback in regards to a few things. I feel like first of all I am way to nice of a guy and in return it is easy for people to take advantage of me as well as pick on me. Some people like to argue with each other and others like to get along. I like to get along. I guess I think way to much and other people my age really dont. I guess I probably havent gained the acceptance/ respect I am waiting on. I feel like everything I do is wrong and everything everyone else does is right. Any idea where this would spawn from. What do i have to do in return to get peoples respect. I am more of a follower than a leader. I am more of an introvert than an extrovert. Not being a bad thing of course but this means that sometimes your personality is gonna clash with other people. I want to get along and people to respect me.

Unfortunately in todays world, respect is more often than not gained by power. If you are a powerful person, if you stand out, if you have wealth, if you are handsome, all those can gain you respect. Being nice doesn't do much in the respect department except by those closest to you.
Respect isn't really all that important anyhow, as long as they are not using you. If they are, distance yourself from those people and find others who are willing to enjoy your company and treat you as an equal on all accounts.
Easy to say, hard to do, but I'm sure you'll manage. Good luck :)

Be yourself and also don't be afraid to say no. If you feel people are taking advantage of your kindness then you need to let them know that you aren't an idiot. You can't make everyone happy in life. What you can control in your life is your happiness. Make yourself happy then worry about others after you find what makes you happy and coincides with others happiness. Like others, love yourself and live to please God and yourself not everyone else. You will get the respect if they see you respect yourself.

Forget about the whole idea of right and wrong Try instead to see things as different. Start some sort of class to do something youve always wanted to and you'll find your self esteem will grow.
When you are proud of yourself and feel self respect you'll find others respect you. Be happy life's short.

that's a really hard thing to achieve these day. i tell you this: be yourself. don't allow other people to push you around. if they don't respect you, they don't deserve your company. you will find better because you deserve better.
