Man is a slave to his habits.
As Robert Kiyosaki aptly put it, changing your life begins with changing your habits. But what if we are talking not about individual habits, but about social habits?
To begin with, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with those of them that are considered harmful.
Complaints
Some people complain so much about their lives, their boss, their wife, or their car that communication becomes nothing but whining.
Sometimes people really need to vent and share their worries with friends or strangers, but don't do it all the time. When complaining becomes a habit, it's no longer a way to get support, it's a way to get attention.
Coquetry
Have you ever heard the phrase: "What are you saying, I'm not even wearing makeup today" in response to a meaningless compliment? Many women (and men) begin to flirt desperately, not realizing that they are putting the person who gave the compliment in an awkward position. In fact, this is coercion to repeat and strengthen the compliment.
It would be much more polite to simply thank the nice person.
Interruption
Is it okay if I say something while you're interrupting me? The habit of interrupting is a problem in modern culture. People cut you off mid-sentence, don't let you finish your thought, and say anything they want - from politicians on TV to sales assistants in stores.
However, by interrupting your interlocutor, you not only miss the point of the conversation, but also demonstrate your position “there are only two opinions: mine and the wrong one.”
Earlier we talked about how to start a conversation with a friend or a stranger.
