You are focusing on how others treat you as if it is "you" that is failing somehow, when it really is not necessarily you, but how these other individuals genuinely do "lack" in their ability to be receptive and respectful to others.

You can work on changing your attitude, however, keep in mind that others will still only give you what they "know". If a dog for example is not taught to "sit" on command, you can stand there and use all kinds of words and behaviors, that dog is still not going to understand what you are asking. Also, if you happen to feed a dog table food or teach it to "beg" and reward that behavior, that dog is going to believe that "begging" is something that is pleasing to you and may even get insistent to a point where it is actually annoying.
