Respected >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 

Respect and how you carry yourself will actually gain like in the long run.

[EtherealCat]

if they dont respect you then they dont really like you

[HausOfPunk]

There is definitely overlap between the two. You can't truly respect someone without liking them a little bit. And when you like someone, that means you have a basic level of respect for them. That being said, I would rather be respected.

[réveuse]

Being liked feels good. But being respected sounds a whole lot better.

[State of Grace.]

Being worshipped

Irdgaf about being liked. Respect >>>>>>

 

[JungleJuice]

I don't think you can respect something without liking it as well

[Da Vinci]

Being respected

 

People can like you but still be condescending or patronizing towards you

Being liked but not respected means you’re some kind of endearing idiot. That sounds terrible.

Not really true. Some parents are like the "cool" mom with no rules and their kids actually do like them but when they try to enforce the rules they just laugh at them.   Same with some bosses at work.

Some people in this forum doesn't like the queen of rap (Nicki Minaj) but they respect her. So the answer is clear.

I used to care about being liked at work but now I know that's not how it goes.

Respect is what you gain from not caring about being liked period

This tbh, i think you need to like someone to truly respect them. Otherwise youre just fearfull and not really respectable

Respected>>

As a teacher, I absolutely prefer being respected to being liked; however, if you want your workers/students/clients to work for you, they need to like you to some degree. 

[DamianSolo]

As someone who's spent years in management, I definitely would rather be respected—and through that, liked. Being solely liked and not respected is a terrible spot to be in; between the two, it's definitely better to be solely respected.

[Theshigo Washidu]

Respected.

 

I don't care about being liked. I am indie.

[VOSS]

liked 100%

[Alldeezy]

Respected.    nobody likes me anyways but being disrespected makes my blood boil.
