Like it or not, you will ultimately reach an age where it will suddenly dawn upon you that very few people genuinely respect you. Yes, they might like and, perhaps, even love you too, but that garnish of respect is sorely missing. It’s a strange mix; it’s a strange miss. All those whom you considered your closest, they would appear like they take you for granted. Even those in your professional circle would make you feel like you are insufficient. A very weird phase, it will be. But like all phases, this too shall pass.
