There are times when we are confronted with a rude behavior like a sales person ignores our requests, an insensitive person says hurtful words to us, someone gives us the infamous “finger,” or we encounter an impolite or offensive behavior from someone we met on the net. How do we stay composed in these situations?
When we were young our parents at home and teachers in school taught us about good manners. How to act with respect towards how to be courteous and polite with the way we act and speak so as not to offend other people. So, good manners is all about considering the feelings of other people and being the kind of person that others will like and respect.
As an adult, we are often times confronted with situations that would test our patience. So how do we stay civil and practice good manners even when we are tested?
Tip # 1
Stay calm
Being civil with a rude person is to know how to control your temper. In any situation, it is advisable to stay calm because it allows you to think clearly and stay positive.
Tip # 2
Presume goodwill
Try to negotiate like a diplomat. This is a grateful way to ask people to do what you want them to do. Never start a fight just because you don’t agree on some things. Keep an open mind and stay calm. For as long as you can negotiate or compromise then do it. This gives the other person a face-saving way to change his or her behavior.
Tip # 3
Don’t fight rudeness with rudeness
Sometimes when people encounter rude behavior they often retaliate with a rude behavior also, so this doubles the amount of rudeness. It is always best to stay calm and answer politely even if the person that you are talking with is being rude. Remember to never stoop down to the level of a rude person because if you do, it wouldn’t make you far different from him or her.
Tip # 4
Practice restraint
If someone is being rude to you, ignore his or her behavior and address them in a courteous, polite, and positive way. If they give you that rude ugly look, return it with a sunny smile look and a polite behavior. It is exactly how an educated person would respond.
Tip # 5
Teach good manners early
Good manners when taught at home by parents is more effective because they themselves pose as good role models for their children, and this would prevent them from being narcissistic and abusive adults when they grow up.
Rudeness is everywhere but you can be different; you can be a well-respected person if you know how to respect other people’s feelings, and act accordingly to what is right and proper.
