I’ve been thinking a lot about how people navigate friendships, family dynamics, and even work relationships. Some people focus on being liked, while others prioritise being respected, even if it means not everyone likes them. Personally, I’m leaning towards respect being the more important of the two, but I wonder if that’s really true or if it’s just a way to feel better about not always being liked.
Do you think respect matters more than being liked, or do they go hand in hand?
