"我对你只有尊重，但也不多。"

Simplified Meaning:
When someone says they have nothing but respect for you, it usually means they think highly of you. However, if they add that they don't have much respect for you, it's a way of saying they don't think highly of you at all. Imagine a student in school who constantly disrupts class and doesn't do their homework. Even though the teacher may hold some respect for the student's intelligence or potential, the overall lack of respect for their behavior and dedication overshadows that. This quote can be a wake-up call for someone to improve their actions and attitude to earn more genuine respect from others. In life, if you want people to respect you more, you should strive to act in ways that are trustworthy, responsible, and kind.
