Erm..I don't think that's really accurate.
YES IT IS,
People subconsciously protect their ego all the time without realizing they are doing that.
"Respect" is an abused word and does not mean what you would like it to mean. It is used to hide from conflict and criticism.
I hate that word and I will never use it.
"Would you be nice to me" as a request, can be said with those words without the ego baggage "respect" has.
If that person you make that request to does not, then YOU have the choice to continue to deal with them or not.

Respect is a weird word. People say respect is earned, not given. But my father believes he deserves respect just for being my dad. And if I do something a little out of line then somehow I have no respect at all.

No "earned" like groveling to gain acceptance or confronting put someone in their place.
That is not morality.
No you should not have any respect for anyone or any thing. You should value people and value what they demonstrate. But you own no one any loyalty merely by demand.
No one has to prove to you anything and you do not have to grovel to them to gain acceptance.
Fuck the word respect. I use the word "value".

No, you get used to a common usage, just like religion likes to look at only the good they do. I am pointing out the dark side of that word so that it does not get abused.
Kim Jong Un, wants "respect". My former boss at work, even when he was wrong wanted "respect". "Islam" wants "respect".
Even with parents they too want "respect" even when they are wrong.
That is the dark side of that word, and it does more damage than good, just like religious people ignore their own dark side.
It is far too abused for me to find any value in using it.

You can earn value too. But claims do not deserve taboos, power does not deserve taboos, which is why people invoke "respect", to set up a taboo.

Forgive my belaboring the obvious, but given that all-caps online signifies yelling, you actually do seem pretty angry.
Not everyone sees things exactly the way you do.
Don't worry, you'll live.
