respect can be internal (respect for oneself), but it is a term typically used to describe a feeling of admiration or positive regard for someone else. respect and love, unfortunately, are not interchangeable terms. Someone might "love" you, but love is not sustainable, "good," or virtuous in its own right / by itself.
My boyfriend really respects me, he doesn't pressure me into doing things I'm not comfortable with and he does things that improve my everyday.

I Koed someone on Runescape, I did a Respected.
Many people have been qouted calling Respected "The new C.Ronaldo" because of his amazing football skills.
Respected is another word for Ownage.

Respect is something that is earned and should never be your default setting when meeting someone new.
People who say you should respect everyone are confusing the word respect with polite. Being polite should be your default setting when meeting someone. Respect can only come from getting to know what a person values and their abilities.
There are only two forms of respect: admiration and fear. You can respect someone you don't like or isn't on your team. Ex: Kevin Durrant and Lebron James, George Patton and Erwin Rommel, Bugs Bunny and Wiley Coyote
Be polite but let them earn your respect through their behavior, not words.

I don't like Lebron James but I respect the hell out of what he has done as a basketball player. All he does is win...
