Trust is earned, respect is given. Do you agree or disagree?

And vice versa .

Both trust and respect are meant to be earned and THEN it is given. Because neither are a gift.

i totally agree.

Both need to be earned .

They are both earned

Respect is also earned, you have to give it to get it

I respect everyone until they disrespect me.

Both trust and respect is earned - I give neither to anyone who hasn't earned it.

I believe both are earned; if I don't know someone, no matter a title, or a position, or whatever, respect isn't automatic. If they're a boss, a certain level of deference is, but true respect, just like trust, is earned.

both must be earned

sounds about right

Both are earned

well this is plain logic.. I think you should respect everyone, atleast til they make themselves unrespectable.. If you dont respect someone, it means you think you are a better person..

Both are earned.

I don't trust anyone who I don't know. I only trust people I know very well.

Makes enough sense for me to agree.

Trust should only be given to those who are deemed worthy beforehand. Respect, on the other hand, should be given until someone proves that they aren't worthy of it. If you don't respect anyone who hasn't earned it, then most people aren't going to be willing to give you the level of respect it takes to earn reciprocation from you because they're going to find you to be disrespectful. By not automatically showing a level of courtesy and respect to others, you're just making yourself unworthy of respect. Of course, in this instance, I mean respect in terms of common courtesy, not exceptional admiration, which should be earned.

I think one has to do something positive to earn both. And I think both are given.

Please repeat the question a tad slower and with more feeling!

But, these days, who can you trust ???........

I would agree that respect is given and trust is earned. But respect is given in the context that showing people respect is a personal virtue that you choose to do and disrespecting people only defiles you in the process. Even if someone isn't respectful to you, respect is still given because it's apart of who you are and your character. Respect can't truly be earned as it's something you should have for everyone regardless. However, respect isn't used in this context a lot of times. Respect is used as something which must be earned and is apart of the other person.

I believe that you have to earn both. I mean like, you don't go waltzinig up to som serial killer and go like,"DUUDDDEEEE! You're that serial killer goin' around. Man... I respect you!"
I mean like wtf dude. Ya see what I'm gettin' at?

I think you are using respect in a different context than it should be used. I feel respect is a personal virtue like courtesy and manners. Just because someone has no manners doesn't mean you wouldn't show them manners, does it? Hopefully not. However, the world is using respect in the sense that it's apart of the value and deed of someone else. No, I don't think this is so. Respect is a personal trait that is apart of you, and you can defile yourself by not showing it to others like love. You don't need the other person to love you to show love. Do you get what I'm saying?

Ahahaha, well ya.. but I'm still young and foolish and soo... respect has only that one meaning since teachers are always like,"Oh, respect each other blahblahblah."
And so, I cannot respect everyone out there because, come of which I might hate or despise... So, I simply cannot just respect them, though it might be harsh but, that's the kind of person I am.

Respect others as show them proper treatment and decency. However, people use it as "see what I did, see how great it is, you need to give me my props"

Respect is given but which is given can also be lost.

Trust is something that only can be given. For until you give trust to someone, you can never be certain they are worthy of it. Once freely given, trust is either validated or betrayed, but there can be no earning of trust.

Respect on the other hand must be earned. At least from my perspective, nobody is given respect they haven't earned.

Definition of respect
noun

1a: feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements:

One must have displayed to me they have abilities, qualities, or achievements that are worthy of my respect before they will get any from me. I do understand what you are saying, and I'm not in the habit of disrespecting people without good cause to, but I'm not giving it away out of hand. To do so only diminishes it for those who have earned my respect. When respect is given to all it takes all meaning away from it.

Both are earned. I won't trust someone until they earn it. I won't respect someone until they earn it.

Nope, I don't get what you're saying. I respect no one until they tell me why I should.
"What goes around, comes around."

One day you may learn what I am saying :)

What's with being so nice to me?
Most people hate me, for a good reason.
You seem too friendly.

Lol, there are people that dislike me for my unpopular thoughts.

But ironically, this is the perfect example of what I meant: Respect is about treating people with decency and righteously; it's not something that you can force someone to give through acts.

Take care, :P

Maybe I'll think about that. It's an interesting theory.

Trust is earned. I have a weird...way of viewing respect, so i hardly ever so any

Both is earned. People have to earn my trust and respect.

You and I have some very similar opinions. You're cool.
