I suspect that what you actually want is for people to admire you. Respect is like a human rights thing, but admiration is when people look at you and think highly of you because you are strong, bold, smart, whatever. So the answer is to be strong, bold, smart whatever. Different people respect different things.
My suggestion is to create yourself with the qualities that you admire. When you admire yourself, you'll attract people who value the same things you do, and those people will admire you.
