Maybe you respect other people's judgements too much. You should cultivate a healthy disrespect at times.
I hate how true this is. I think that, by showing that you are willing to talk bad about someone, is a form of respect. It shows 2 things. One, that you're not afraid of them. Two, you believe your relationship is strong enough to withstand criticism. Be ready and willing to call people out on their s**t. People may not always like you for it, but they will respect you.
