respected or wanted

I also don't see how you can have one without the other. But for the sake of your thread and due to something going on in my life at the moment I will go with respect. Being disrespected is something I won't tolerate any longer.

Is there no one in your life that you respect but maybe don't really like?

Have you never met "the life of the party" who was just so personable that you couldn't help but smile but they made a lot of poor lifestyle decisions that you didn't respect?

They are not connected. They are probably more connected with your friends than anywhere else. But at work, as much as I want to be liked by my co-workers, I discovered, I'd rather have them value my values, my intelligence, and my competence that be the one they socialize with on the weekends. I personally have a supervisor that I neither like nor respect, but I wouldn't hate work so much if I respected her as a nurse. I personally think she is incompetent with the bedside nursing skills (based on watching her and several times she has challenged my nursing judgement - I was right) and it is frustrating that she is making policies that make our lives harder and our jobs close to impossible instead of protect us as our leader.
