How do you want to be treated as a person?

"The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated." - William James.

How do you want to be treated as a person? How do you not want to be treated as a person? If you treat people right, they'll treat you right. Took me a long time to see this.

(Please steer away from the sarcasm, sexual remarks and so forth. Please respond with genuine answers. Thank you.)

    Great question and quote! As a person, I would like to be treated as I deserve. If I am being rude, impatient, or inconsiderate, I would expect to receive the same. If I am being kind, patient and considerate, I hope to get the same in return. It's not always that simple, of course. And I strongly dislike being treated as though I am incapable or incompetent.

    A very good question---a lot of people think about the same thing but you never hear any one ask the question---all my life their was some one out there that would treat people wrong name calling starting rumors about some one every thing that was wrong they did it --but all your life you do good to others and all you ask for return is a couple words THANK YOU I want to be treated like I treat others with respect-- morals--but the biggest problem with people they have to show respect before they get respect from others some people just don't know how they believe the cruelty is cool

    Well for me I give respect so I expect it back. Sometime people will disrespect you unintentionally and that is okay because disrespect should be viewed in the intent of the giver. If respect is given then people will be honest and truthful with you and then you have common ground where you will learn what each other needs and desires are. The second thing is that I want Is to always be loved by the ones I care about.

    I'd like to be treated the way that I treat other people, with respect. I'm not mean or harsh and I expect anyone to treat me as such. I guess I try to live by The Golden Rule. Have a nice weekend.

    I want to be treated with respect and be appreciated like i treat everyone else.

    ( If you treat people right, they'll treat you right. ) is a nice dream,but for all the niceness and generosity that i have given to most people all my life,i have yet to be treated accordingly.

    I have been cheated,deceived,robbed etc,and all this from smiling faces who say friend,mate buddy.

    I have given until my heart bled,and now i am in serious dept and struggling with survival.

    Basically everyone is out for what they can get,and the only way to be is cautious and not expect respect back in return.

    Source(s): This is in no way meant as sarcasm,just a genuine outlook on my personnal life.

    I value respect, honesty & a person to be mature when they are around me. That's how I treat people & that's what I expect back in return. I also understand that not every person I encounter will act the way I expect them to. I'm still mature, yet humble, but firm.

    I want to be treated with respect. I want people to accept me as I am. Do on to others and you want them to do you. I try not to judge people, and I really don't like when people judge me. Walk a day in my shoes-that's what I tell them. It all boils down to love, to me. I believe in loving one another and helping out the next person.

    With the respect I feel I deserve, and not with disrespect by those who dont know me, or are not in a position themselves to judge another. Of course I would treat another accordingly.

    I wanted to be treated with respect. I hate it when guys just come over to check me out. They're not interested in my mind, just my body.

    I'll respect you, if you respect me. I'm not going to spread rumors, because I wouldn't want anybody doing that to me.
