    I can see that interpretation and I'm glad that you being that up. A narcissist won't be able to keep it up (treating you well) and definitely they won't be able to consistently say they love you despite making mistakes. A healthy person will always be able to maintain this and if they don't, they will recognize their failure as their own, apologize, and permanently change their behavior away from what hurt you. The key is personal responsibility and consistency in healthy behavior. Thank you for bringing it up! :)

    I've never met someone like that "normal" person you are referring to. Whenever someone is nice, I just assume they want something from me, such as my money or labor. Even my own mother won't talk to me unless she needs something from me. Then she's nice to me until she gets what she wants from me (money, favors, a ride, housekeeping etc.). Then it is back to radio silence or outright abusive language until she needs something again.

    If this has been the behavior you grew up in, you may have a world view that people are users. Yes, there are users, but there's many people who aren't. The idea of seeing the behavior as normal is to recalibrate the expectation to be treated that way. When you do that, you don't waste time with negative people and spend your energy on those who treat you well.

    I love that you're encouraging people to think of respect and consideration as the baseline instead of special treatment. This is wonderful. I chimed in because i know it can be a very confusing and long journey finding out what healthy boundaries are and where they should be. In my experience i've hit a roadblock several times where i would gaslight myself into thinking my standards were too high or that i was too needy because i saw so little kind and respectful behavior coming from people around me, but in those moments i was simply surrounded by the wrong people and needed to let them go and keep looking for the people who are kind and loving. I want to encourage people by letting them know that the right people and the wrong people exist in pockets in the real world, and if you grew up without seeing healthy boundaries demonstrated you are far more likely to find yourself in a pocket of the wrong people because they feel familiar. So if consideration, thoughtfulness and respect don't seem normal, keep letting people go and meeting new people until you've collected a group of friends in your phone contacts who demonstrate to you day by day that kindness and respect ARE normal 😊.

    Right before I retired I went on a work trip for a few months in a different state. The leadership there treated me with respect and appreciation at every turn. It was almost disorienting. I had to make a brief trip back to the home office where I re-entered the normal (to me) toxic environment. Then back to my out of state assignment. It made me realize that the creatures I was working for at home were not merely bad managers or incompetent, they were actively and aggressively venomous. As soon as I returned from my trip I put in my papers and retired, easiest decision ever.

    Love this message and how it was delivered. Just below the surface of this concept, and what makes it all possible, is that the two parties must be playing on the same field. Meaning: When one party creates their own definition of TRUTH, respectful treatment immediately collapses. Period. Therein why this video even exists. Today, those without a moral compass create their own truths. Lying is rampant. Denial is somehow considered brave. Lowering standards to their whimsical needs and tolerating what they believe while begrudging those that stand a-posed, believing in a higher standard and greater purpose. Yeah, “Respectful Treatment” is a concept that needs revisiting and it starts at an early age, in the home, coming from both parents, within the family.

    I think that what we want to see in others and experience in others we first, exhibit ourselves, and second, prioritize relationships based on level of respect, kindness, and consideration you get from those people. This may mean limiting contact with family members and/or making other life choices to make sure this happens. These acts alone can be enough to make a difference in the world, and if not the world, at least in your own life and immediate orbit. That’s enough, it counts.

    I think a definition of normal might help some of us to understand this video better. If you take normal to mean typical, I can't entirely agree that the typical person is respectful. History helps me prove this since we have been at war far more than we have been at peace, with humans only having been at peace for about 8 percent of recorded history. Of course, war is all about violating boundaries. Since we are products of this wartime behavior, many humans do not have the proper role modeling for setting healthy boundaries. The good news is that we have folks like you who are doing your part to change this. I hope humanity has a better future.

    Hi, thank you for your thoughtful comment. What I mean by normal: the closer someone is to you, as in who you spend the most time with (think partner, family, close friends), the reasonable expectation of behavior for those people to exhibit in order to have *access* to you, is that they treat you with respect, kindness, etc. If this happens, then what's normal (most frequent) behavior to you is the kindness and respect. The further out someone is from your immediate circle, the less necessary it is that they be kind, respectful, etc. *to you* because of the amount of access they have to you. You are probably just and average person like me, who has no real impact over anyone except for those in my immediate orbit. We cannot reasonably expect our behaviors to change what's going on across the world. We can only control what it right in front of us. If we cultivate respect, kindness and boundaries in our own life, then we at least aren't *adding* to the state of war, big or small. Finding peace to replace to war in ourselves is sufficient to help with world. I hope this helped, and your comment is also helping change things, in your own life and in the lives of those around you!

But, they all betrayed me even they trapped before me so I disappointed their acts to me. Now I am reducing the donation gradually n it will be to the zero oneday. Your saying I can find into Holy Bible. But, these days in our society, I am living in South Korea, it's not possible because of they asking me my everythings even my foods for the meal. So I made the conclusion in myself about these society!! The peoples lost their conscience themselves and they only think for their benefits through anyone else.

    When a behavior or event is rare, it isn't considered normal. Such as snow in June in the northern hemisphere. I've been all over the country and have met many, many people from all walks of life. I can assure you, that it is rare that someone just gives respect to people. In my experience, respect must not only be earned, but occasionally demanded. I worked in "essential" retail during the pandemic. If you worked next me during that time, this video would have NEVER been made. Go work the drive up at McDonald's or as a cashier at WalMart and see how normal people behave. I guarantee you that the last word you'd use to describe normal people would be "respect."
