Yes, it’s hurtful. If you earn money, you get respect; if not, no one can give any.

It is indeed a sad reality we are currently confronting. It appears to be beyond our control, as it seems that a higher power has a predetermined course for us, and when the appointed time arrives, it will inevitably affect us.

In traditional and even modern Indian households, respect is often closely tied to one’s occupation, income level, and perceived social status. This dynamic can shape family interactions, expectations, and even self-worth. It often happens cultural norms, Income as influence, Gender roles and social comparisons. With this narrative it creates inequality within households, especially between working and non-working members. It can lead to emotional strain, resentment, or feelings of invisibility.

Sadly, this is true in many families and societies. Respect often feels conditional.

True. It’s all about who says these words to you. The more closer , the more pain. But let’s be clear, not to compare our lives with another. Keep trying until you reach the goal.

This is the sad truth that nowadays job is a status symbol and a reputation …. People pass judgements depending on the jobs the person has and that is the reason of increasing competition…

Yes, I feel this is often true in many Indian households. Respect and pride are sadly linked to having a job, and until then people face taunts or are undervalued. This mindset ignores personal growth, struggles, and efforts, and can deeply affect one’s confidence and mental health.

Yes, sadly it’s true for many people.
In a lot of families and communities, a job isn’t just seen as income—it’s seen as proof that you’re “capable” or “worthy.” Until that happens, people often ignore your efforts, talents, or even struggles. They may not say it out loud, but their silence, comparisons, and small jabs speak volumes. It’s hurtful because respect should come from who you are as a person, not just from what’s on your payslip. This kind of mindset can crush confidence, make you feel constantly “behind,” and put unnecessary pressure on someone who’s already trying their best.

It’s absolutely true. You get valued for what you have achieved, not for the efforts you are doing to achieve that thing - and unsurprisingly it’s a normal thing everywhere

But if we talk about the positive aspects of it then that’s the thing that can keep motivated to an individual towards their goals.

Respect shouldn’t be tied to job titles, especially in a healthcare context. Whether you’re a medical student, a nurse, a pharmacist, or a frontline helper what truly matters is your compassion, integrity, and how you care for others. Every role, big or small, supports people’s health and deserves its share of respect.
