7 Reasons They Don't RESPECT You | Stoic Wisdom

Why people don’t respect you, how to command respect, and the Stoic principles—self-respect, boundaries, emotional control—that change how others treat you. Most people lose respect in the first thirty seconds—without ever realizing it. In this video, we break down the psychology of respect, why people don’t respect you, and the Stoic principles that help you command respect without begging for approval. You’ll learn how self-respect, boundaries, emotional control, and congruence shape the way others treat you, and why reacting, over-explaining, or avoiding conflict destroys authority. Drawing on Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, we explore seven Stoic principles: acting with congruence, demonstrating instead of explaining, enforcing boundaries with real consequences, building internal authority, and responding instead of reacting. If you struggle with being overlooked, disrespected, or taken advantage of, this breakdown shows how to shift your mindset, strengthen self-discipline, and earn the respect you’ve been missing. ▶️ subscribe to channel ◀️    / @practical.stoic.wisdom   Discover timeless Stoic wisdom to stay calm, focused, and resilient in 2025.
