I'm pretty sure you figured out some things a lot sooner than many others. I spent 20 years in the military, and we all accept that as a system based on merit (meritocracy, at least it used to be) and we had a saying, "respect is earned." But you've come to a core truth: before anyone else respects you, you have to respect yourself. This means that you respect yourself enough to improve yourself, to gain skills that are respectable, to influence others in a positive way, to do better for society. You will even hear clues, like when you were young and you did something for your dad, and he tells you, "son, you did a respectable job..." This is an affirmation and a clue. Have you ever watched someone do something amazing and think, wow, I would love to be able to do that, in essence, you have respect for them. You respect the hours and hours, maybe thousands of hours they have spent honing their craft. It could be cooking, handling weapons, playing an instrument. Any vocation. I was always in awe of people who handled horses well and I tried to emulate them. Respect shown is a positive for society, respectful people don't do wanton harm to others or animals or property, respectful people contribute, and respect is society's feedback for a job well-done. Some earn respect in unusual ways (innovator), some in more traditional ways (sports star), but it is a feedback loop. Most importantly, it is a give and take. Someone who has no respect for others will certainly gain none for themselves. What some think is respect that they garner is actually fear, and fear is the opposite of love. Do no harm, and much respect to you, sir!
