Respect involves valuing yourself, understanding your own worth, and acknowledging the impact of
your words and actions on other people. Often when we are associating with the
wrong people, for example toxic people, we can find ourselves on a slippery yet familiar path.
Take dating a narcissist as an example... they love bomb and manipulate you to make out they love
and adore you so much. In the honeymoon stage right at the beginning you're floating on air, everything
about them, life and love feels so magical and so good. Then you start seeing and noticing patterns
that are unhealthy... as the mask well and truly is slipping on their end, and suddenly they talk and
act and treat you in an entirely different way, and you are and have exposed them for what they truly
are = a toxic person! In that respect they might have shown you = how they spoke to you how they
treated you in the beginning is well and truly gone... this might happen with non-toxic people as
well especially if you're a people pleaser and so desperate for them to accept and validate you.
Now these people are not necessarily malicious or evil, they just have no respect for you, because
you have no respect for yourself, nor do you have any healthy boundaries at all. Walking away is so
powerful, because it creates and boosts attraction, and it can and will gain you much needed respect
Butting heads, arguing, shouting, will only get you so far with certain people...walking away and
keeping your distance will make things instantly reset. Here is how walking away gains respect!

Reclaim your power! Walking away can be a way to reclaim your power and take control of a situation...
it shows you're strong enough to move on from an unhealthy situation.
I was re-watching Gordon Ramsay not long ago on the show "Kitchen Nightmares" when he
was dealing with a very narcissistic and toxic restaurant owner. This woman he was dealing with
never took criticism or took responsibility, she didn't want to listen and didn't want to change.
Ramsay had no choice... for the first time in his Show's history, where he normally goes in to help
a struggling business... he walked away. He said "I cannot help people who cannot help themselves."
You can apply that same sort of logic to your personal relationship, friendships and family
dynamics! Some people, some situations, no matter how good a person you are, no matter how much patience
and perseverance you display... are just unhealthy, they're toxic, dangerous and are just not right
The only logical and simple solution is to walk away and reclaim your power from doing so.
I walked away from a toxic relationship a few years ago... we had lost control, arguing like mad,
it was so toxi,c unhealthy and unacceptable... nothing I could say, do, no reasoning was going to work or
improve the situation. I felt defeated, powerless, and disrespected. I had no choice and the only
choice an option I had was to walk away, which I did... not just from an unhealthy situation but an
unhealthy person and relationship. To this day it's still one of the best decisions I've ever made
and one of the bravest too! Reclaim your power... everybody has power inside them, by walking away.

Walking away can help you resolve conflict with others respectfully instead of engaging
in a debate or argument. It can show that you're putting a respectful end to the conversation. By
walking away people can be intentionally and unintentionally extremely emotional sometimes
or hurtful with their words and actions, and therefore conflicts ensues out of nowhere....
blindsiding us when we least expect it. Harry was going through a hard time, he had business problems,
he'd been dumped by his girlfriend, he was feeling low... one of his closest friends Gavin initially was
trying to support him, but he too had his own problems... but they were trivial in comparison.
Gavin was entitled, selfish and emotional, they agreed to me up for dinner and drinks one night
and upon proceeding to go, Gavin thought it was acceptable to cause an argument!
They argued in the restaurant, then in the bar and for the entire evening. Harry was not sure
where this was coming from, and he concluded that he didn't deserve to be treated this way at all!
"Just because he's going through his own problems does not mean it's acceptable to call me names
and criticize me!" thought Harry. That evening Harry tried to kiss and make up with Gavin and
let things go... but Gavin was relentless with more personal attacks, unnecessary abuse and disrespect
towards Harry. "I give up" said Harry who finally after hours of arguing walked away and went home.
He screened Gavin's texts and calls, they never spoke for months... he was not interested
Harry cut contact... with that cut off unnecessary drama and conflict from a difficult person.
There was no logic behind Gavin's actions and his treatment "I can't be friends with someone
like that again" admitted Harry. For years Gavin begged for forgiveness and more... Harry had moved on,
he wasn't interested in fake promises. Walk away to finally resolve conflict!

Walking away is a powerful tool for gaining self-respect
It shows that you can make decisions for yourself and maintain healthy relationships with others
As much as a toxic or difficult person will learn the hard way about how
to treat you after you walk away... the most important individual to focus on is yourself,
and how your own self-image is so important. Signs of self-respect include = setting and maintaining
boundaries... having self-respect means being able to set and maintain boundaries in relationships
Taking responsibility... taking responsibility for your words and actions and acknowledging when
you've made a mistake is an important sign of self-respect. Being kind to yourself... being kind
to yourself and not engaging in self-criticism or self-judgment is a sign of self-respect.
Listening to and acting on intuition... having self-respect means listening to and acting on your
own intuition and trusting yourself to make the right choices. Sticking to your values... self-respect
means sticking to your values and not compromising on the things that are important. Saying no... having
self-respect means being able to say no to things that don't align with your values or don't make
you feel good. By staying in an unhealthy situation where is your self-respect? Nowhere.
Where is the growth? There is no growth. Where is the understanding? There is only misunderstanding!
Where are the Lessons Learned? There are none! Walking away, if for the first time, will give
you self-respect for the first time in your life. It may feel daunting and scary but it is
truly liberating and it will encourage you to do it more in other areas of your life as well!
Lastly acknowledging hurt... walking away can also demonstrate that you've acknowledged
any hurt that has occurred and have respect for yourself and actually the other person's feelings
It can be a way to end things entirely... as it may be the only option
When a person does come to that difficult and penultimate conclusion that they have to walk
away... it is very upsetting, because Walking Away really is the only option left. When I walked away
from a toxic relationship to the narcissist in the past, I was acknowledging the hurt. The hurt of
a toxic relationship, the hurt of expecting them to change, the hurt of being taken advantage of,
the hurt of wasting so many years together, the hurt of realizing it is time to walk away entirely.
That requires serious self-awareness and maturity to say to yourself "It's over there's nothing more
I can do." On the contrary do you walk away from something or somebody that's happy,
healthy brings joy and growth to your life? Hopefully not! We gain respect by walking away
and to protect ourselves from any further hurt that may be coming in our direction.
