Hi there.
I do respect many people, and i don't like to disappoint them, i don't want to wrong them, not because i'm afraid but because i respect them and myself, fear has it's place, in life and death situations, but to live in fear, not a life for me, i'm not used to taking shit from anyone, not my bosses, not my g/f's not my sister, not my dad, my mom did give me shit for a good 20-30 minutes once, for something i did but had FIXED, and she DID pay the price and never crossed me again, no i didn't hit her, i am very freindly, but i do not accept dis-respect from anyone, period.
And as for the respect fear thing, it seems to me that the more you respect someone the less you fear them, and the more you fear them the less you respect them, but the less fear on the respect is not that you'd flip them out, but you respect them back and treat them right as they treat you.
