Respected.
By such a long way it's pathetic.

I guess it's just a power thing? (I'm not honestly sure. Struggling to define why)
Not that I want power over others, no. Just that I want to be recognized as having power, a powerful person.

Respect. Being the youngest child I feel like I'm still seen like the baby even though i'm an adult now. It gets really really annoying.

It is weird for me now because I have so many more situations in which I have to show who I am and this question comes to light all the time.

Respect. I'm such an emotional, go with the heart think later type of person, respect is what I need. I have to have it. I could care less if I'm liked or disliked, I'm smiling either way. I live by this quote, "I'd rather be hated for who I am, than to be loved for who I am not."

Both. That doesn't mean that I will do anything bad in order to be liked. That sort of thing doesn't work for me.

Respected b/c I'm liked.

Meaning as I hold my own pov and beliefs and share them, and do what is called to be done, it does not mean one has to be disliked.

That is a false dichotomy, reality is it does not matter particularly much what one is saying or doing, more if the purity or intent is obvious..disagree or not with those things.

Self-Respect.

My criteria might not shine through the same lens as most.

Liked, it the first thing come to mind, I'm venus dominant, in my mind that makes sense

But being liked or respected by other actually is not in my control. No one can control what other people think, so I learn just to be chill about it

I believe genuine appreciation involves some sort of respect.
But you can be respected without being liked at all.

Neither.

I've never cared about being liked and if you don't respect me, to me, that tells me all I need to know about you and is a blessing. I can steer clear of you. People who deserve respect, respect others. You don't need to respect me, but if you choose to, I will do the same. If you don't, that's your prerogative. Both are your choice and I respect people's choices.

So, I don't care about either.
