Make it stand strong show that you believe and want to back it up. If you respect theirs that could also be one step to make them respect yours.

There is no need to make others respect your opinions. All you can do is to express your opinions and if anyone finds it valuable and worth respecting then they will do it on their own free will.

It's quite a challenge to express yourself based on people's subjective bias towards your belief, however, there are people out there who are still willing to listen despite of your views or opinion. For me, I'd do these, try it out if you'd like: 1)Choosing the right people/audience: To express yourself, you should observe the people or audience perspective.(example: Noticing their attitudes towards you when you speak or towards others. Are they the ones compatible for your expressions?) 2)Respecting them first - Yes, we may have come to this point. Most people will give back the favor of listening to you if you respect them first in regards to their opinion. Possibly, the person may even listen in return and perhaps give you a positive feedback. These are the only things I can provide for now. :( I hope it helps.

Only if you respect your opinion to 100% you can make other people respect it. You need to be confident in your opinion and yourself.

This is a tricky question because there will always be people out there who will refuse to respect your beliefs, just as you might not respect others. Presenting your case with an open mind available to constructive criticism is the best way to start. This way, if someone disagrees with you, you are open to viewing their beliefs from their perspective. This technique is called 'putting yourself in someone else's shoes', which can help you understand where they're coming from in a more elaborate fashion. From here, you can continue to formulate your opinion, and take criticisms into consideration. While you can't please everyone, even if you are confident that your opinion is right, it is important to register new ideas.
