people treat you
based on how you treat yourself

it's typically unconsciously done

when we meet others
for the first time
it is a mixture of a few things
place a neutral facade over yourself
while you wait on continuous feedback
from the other
which dictates which version of yourself
you will expose
however
the point is that this version of yourself
is dependent on the feedback one receives from the other
if the other is humorous and talks colloquially
then you will imitate that persona
if the other is stoic and uses bombastic language
then you will imitate that persona
if the other disrespects themselves and is insecure
then you are more likely to disrespect them
abuse their insecurity
if the other reveres themselves and is confident
then you are more likely to revere them
feed into their confidence
and are less likely to disrespect them
you cannot abuse something that doesn't exist

much of this is typically unconsciously done

remember
others do onto you
in the manner in which they unconsciously wish
would be done to themselves
