Such a person does not interfere unnecessarily in other people's affairs, he is delicate and accommodating, but does not forget about his own dignity. He knows how to conduct a conversation and listen carefully to the interlocutor. A cultured person does not try to be in sight, but he is always distinguished by special manners. What rules of conduct are useful to know in order to always be respected in society?
Speech
Speak softly and calmly, it always gives the words a lot of weight. Constantly monitor your speech to get rid of words - parasites. When talking, do not jabber and gesture less.
Never interrupt your interlocutor, have restraint. Listening is a very important quality that everyone appreciates.
Be polite, use the magic words more often: "sorry", "please", "thank you". Do not grumble, do not complain about life and do not be boring, do not discuss mutual friends.
Avoid familiarity, do not rush to "you" with a stranger. Even if you have a high social status, this does not give you such a right.
You should not touch the interlocutor during a conversation - slap on the shoulder, pull the sleeve, etc. If you are on the phone, no matter how hungry you are, postpone your meal. It is unpleasant when the person on the other end of the line chews and swallows food.
Avoid discussing sensitive and sensitive topics that are unpleasant to others, do not be persistent and intrusive. Don't try to smite everyone with your intellect.
Be able to hide your bad mood due to some personal troubles. Since you are visiting, then, if possible, stay friendly or even cheerful.
Do not be a noisy joker, know when to stop, do not overdo it with anecdotes and witticisms. This quickly tires others, and the person begins to be perceived as a jester.
Away, in society
You cannot pay a visit without warning, this puts the hosts in an awkward position, and even more so you cannot ask for a visit without an invitation.
According to etiquette, they do not come to visit earlier than 12 hours and later than 20 hours. Even if you do not want to leave, make an effort on yourself, do not forget that the owners have their own worries and things to do. Do not drag out the goodbye, do not turn it into a painful procedure.
Do not enter the house with a cigarette or a headdress. Do not bring friends or acquaintances with you, even general ones, without first warning the owners.
Always arrive at the appointed time, in extreme cases, you can be a little late, but no more than a few minutes. An early visit is undesirable because it will distract the attention of the hosts on you in the last moments of preparation for the meeting of guests.
