You are correct, for your definition it is one to be earned.
I do not give that level of respect away freely either.
But the second definition is the one that I tend to give away before I even realize you are standing in front of me. I think we can agree that we do not trample on someone in various levels of the second definition of respect. Be it cut in front of someone in line, take their possessions, and the like.
