By firstly respecting their opinion and wording your opinion in a manner that's not aggressive. Be patient with the other person when they are talking and they will do the same to you.

You can make others respect your opinion by presenting it in a calm, thoughtful, and non-confrontational way. Also by respecting other person's/peoples opinion/s.

By respecting the opinions of others, and even though most of the times we do respect the opinions of others yet they don't respect ours, it would be okay to be assertive at times, and still treat them with respect even if they're not treating our opinion with the respect that they deserve. Over time, they'd realise what they're doing isn't right.

You can't make them do what you want them to do but if you want them to respect your opinion, then you have to pick a smart opinion

You have to have a confident stand and speak clearly. It helps other respect you more. Another good thing is to have statements to back up your opinion :)

Stand firm in what you believe and give examples as to why you feel that way but do not try to force your opinion on others.

Well there are many different ways to get people to respect you opinion, what I do is make sure I am well informed on the topic of discussion and then form an opinion so if any tries to argue it I can defend it soon people will start accepting you opinion and who you are as a person.

bringing arguments to fundament one's opinion is the best solution. like, quoting previous situations where similar ideas worked. self-confidence also helps.

Stand firm in what you believe. Not only will others begin to respect your opinion, they will begin to respect you as a person.

Do not use harsh words. Respect is to use a tone and words that doesn't harm anybody. Example: "I like this game! It has my favourite voice actor". "I dont like that voice actor, i think the role doesn't suit him." Use this kind of words instead of "I dont like that voice actor. HE IS SHIT!"

If you assert yourself in a way that backs up what you believe in, there is less for people to question and rebut against, especially if you have solid reasoning for your argument.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. With that being said you may not be able to make others respect your opinion. You don't have to like their opinion, but the only thing that you can do is respect that they have an opinion no matter what it may be. You can persuade people to have the same opinion as you do, but other than that there really isn't to much that you can do.

It's never easy to make another person do anything, and thus I really haven't had success making people respect my opinions. However, what I find works best for me is making sure that I respect myself. That might sound weird, but if you aren't respecting yourself, it's really hard to have the courage to make your opinions known, or to handle people rejecting your opinions. Also, remember that some people, unfortunately, are just jerks. If you respect you, that's all that really matters.

Argue it well, and have good points to back it up. When you speak, make sure you are logical and calm. Stand up for what you believe in, but don't be rude or derogatory of other's opinions.

Not being overly aggressive and really connecting the experience with others. If you are really able to connect or even get the experience out there it just shows that you have your opinion.

With patience explain to them some people may have a difference of opinion. Whatever the subject matter is, the goal you want is for people to respect your views not to accept your views as the truth. It is important to note that not everyone will respect your opinions no matter how hard you try.
