When we respect other people, or overly show respect to them, and keep appreciating others;
Then, often it so happens that these very people think we are docile, we want something from them, or we are of 'lower' level, or we want some favours from them;
They never realise that none of these is true, it is just in our nature to respect them, and display our good mannerisms to them.

This is based on my own personal experience in the initial stages of my new job, with first class M.E. degree, and two years of teaching experience!

It took nearly two years for me to come out of that unpleasant situation and hiccup, and then I became more careful, choosy, and alert, and learnt to give fitting responses, became more vocal and verbal, that one day my senior boss had told my professor that I had become too extroverted.
