Be Nice or Be Respected? (Hint: All Of The Above)

Episode 205: Being nice or being respected?

In today's episode we discuss what is more important, being nice or respected? On which situations should you be nice or demand respect?

I skew to being nice. I'm a people pleaser.

Being respected is probably the real answer, though.

And there's a difference between being respected and being feared. Respect is earned based on your actions and how you treat people.

My answer is aim for both. You CAN be nice and be respected. If you're in a situation where someone is treating you really badly then you can hold your ground and push back.

I think both are closely tied, though. So I'd generally say to go for both kindness AND respect.
