I did not know about your podcast. I will definitely be checking it out. The show notes really resonated with my experience, both personally and professionally. The big one for me is someone changing the topic right after I make a comment. Especially in a group discussion. That makes me feel so enraged but also really small.
this has happened a few times in my life, it tends to be alpha types, extroverts. it doesnt go down well with me, i have a long history with falling out with alphas and they dont seem to know how to handle it :)
Boy am I glad that list isn't of things that will automatically end you when not obtained for specific periods of time, like food/water/air.
I can produce my own comfort and security. The rest of the list? Apparently I've learned to do without those items beginning in high school back in the mid 1980s. They're admittedly nice to have, (some of them very pleasant to obtain,) but lack of them isn't crippling as long as you're relatively self-sufficient.
I can muster a very small amount of respect for someone because of "position" only, but only the amount necessary for getting along with them. Respect by me has to be earned. Period. We live in a world where people like politicians, CEOs, "elitists", etc demand respect based solely on who they are and not by what they have done/the example they've set. In contrast, family, and elderly receive a higher level of "automatic" respect from me, but still have to earn deeper levels of respect. Personally for myself, I don't really care that much whether I'm respected or not as long as I believe I am trying to live my life in an honorable manner. I may be weird, but I think self respect is way more important than respect from others.
