Is it more important to be liked or respected? Why?

1. easy. i would rather be respected. it’s like a quality over quantity thing for me, like i would much rather have people who respect me than like me. a person can like you but disregard your boundaries or treat you as someone with value, for example, a friend who makes plans to hang out but often cancels last minute. they like you but don’t respect you. although when someone respects you, there is a chance the could not like you. i personally would rather have someone not like me than to not see me or my time as valuable.
