Respect is earned and not by your degree nor accolades.
I try to catch myself when I meet new people and avoid this type of question โ what do you do for work? Instead I sometimes ask their hobbies or what they enjoy doing in their free time.
Habits are hard wire in us.
The only way to replace it is by asking yourself different ways of gauging how someone can earn your respect.
Take care, you โ beautiful soul. โบ๏ธ๐ซ
