This may sound crazy.

I don’t know if it’s from talking, smiling, or joking too much, but I don’t feel that I get respected enough and I am getting angered writing this. Also maybe a blessing I can be unassuming and use that leverage to my advantage. Now I ask the question, do I do things that will inevitably lead to a commanded respect? Not in a demanding or forceful way but just in a way where I have so much respect for myself you have no choice but to uphold me to the same regard. Or do I let you remain a fool? What am I even asking? This sounds and I can’t think of the words but slightly centered or ego driven I will eventually find the better words that fit. Yes it could potentially sound that way and it could potentially be true at the same time. Reading this back before I post makes me feel saddened that I feel this way and am forced to ask these questions but this just highlights my complexities.
