Something does not build or show character until it's difficult to do. Showing respect to someone who has not yet irritated you just makes you "acceptable in public."
What does showing respect look like? From what I've seen in 40 years, respect is about not telling someone when we think they're wrong about something.
Anything else correlated to respect doesn't require respect as a cause or a goal, but is an emergent property of maintaining mutually beneficial and constructive relationships.
Bringing up the idea of respect is a red flag: you might not have figured out the deepest or most fundamental reasons for some behaviors, so you patch that with magic words that sound good but are ill-defined at best, and potentially harmful on the long run.
No.
