10 rules of etiquette to follow to improve relationships with other people

In a world where rudeness is commonplace, why not stand out by being nice and considerate? Here are some simple gestures of social etiquette and good manners that will help you make the world around you a better place.

Don't call someone more than twice in a row.

If they don't answer the phone, assume they have something important to do. Don't be too annoying: you will almost certainly get a call back when they see a missed call.

Never order an expensive dish from the menu when someone treats you to lunch or dinner.

It's the best feeling in the world when someone treats you to dinner or lunch. Never take it for granted when ordering the most expensive dish on the menu. Be grateful and just let things unfold naturally.

Don't ask uncomfortable questions.

Never ask incorrect questions that can put the interlocutor in an awkward position. Instead, compliment or just shut up if you have nothing positive to say.

Always hold the door for the person following you.

It doesn't matter if it's male or female, older or younger. It will not be hard for you if you show kindness to other people. It doesn't cost anything to be a good person.

Pay back your debts promptly.

Pay back the money you borrowed before the person you borrowed it from remembers or asks for it. This demonstrates your honesty and character. The same applies to everything else that you have borrowed from others.

Thank you for your help.

Say "thank you" when someone helps you. It motivates the person to achieve more and demonstrates gratitude. Lack of "thank you" can prevent the person from helping you in the future. A sincere expression of gratitude can brighten someone's day..

Never comment on weight.

Many people find it unpleasant when their appearance is discussed. You cannot know what is going on in their lives that is causing them to gain weight. They may have had health problems that contributed to their weight gain. Despite this, they will talk about losing weight if they want to.

Mind your own business.

Stay away from things that don't directly concern you. If a person wants to discuss something with you or find out your opinion on some issue, he will ask himself. Otherwise, interest in other people's affairs will not do you any good.

Don't get on someone else's phone.

When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don't swipe left or right Privacy is valuable. You never know what will happen next when you swipe. Just be grateful when someone gives you access to their phone.

If someone is talking directly to you, don't take your eyes off them.

When someone talks to you, don't take your eyes off them. People will feel embarrassed if they notice that you are not listening to them and not paying attention to them.

Again, being a decent person costs absolutely nothing. And just because you are kind to others doesn't make you insignificant.
