Respect

Friend 1: Respect for yourself, taking responsibility for your actions and being mindful how you live your life. Being honest with yourself is important, then having respect for yourself easily translates to respect for others. My father would always tell me, "treat others the way you wish to be treated."

Friend 2: Respect is the realization that one is worthy and then acting upon it. A positive feeling of esteem.

Friend 3: (On relationships) I think respect involves two people coming to an understanding which encompasses knowing the other person's boundaries and limits, not crossing the line.

Friend 4: Respect is something that needs to be earned, not that you should disrespect anyone until they do something to humble you. But you should treat people the way you would like to be treated. In family and jobs, there is a hierarchy of people you have to show respect to, but as individuals you would want to be respected by those higher so you would do things that would please them. Actually in relationships it can go the same, you would want to do things for them that you would want in return.

Friend 5: Admiration for another person's attributes.
