Respect is appreciation for something someone has done. So having to treat everyone with respect is odd. Yes, treat everyone kindly, politely and warmly. But how, if you don’t know that they’ve done anything respectful, can you treat them with respect?
For respect to be respectful, it has
to be given freely and voluntary. If it’s coerced with guilt or shame, or is
non-genuine in any other manner, it isn’t respect. In fact, that would be rude
and disrespectful. So forcing someone for feign respect is in fact producing
the exact opposite and is thus illogical.
