Lasmid explained that he had always wished people would reciprocate the same energy, but after realising that many did not, he decided to adjust how he relates to others.

“If I had it my way, I would not be that respectful. I wish people would reciprocate the same respect. For now, I respect people who respect me as well. At first, I respected people who failed to give me the same energy,” he added.
