Nice Habits that Aren’t So Nice
Stop irritating your friends
It is easy to make mistakes about etiquette rules. Especially these days. So much has changed. Some of the time what we think is actually the right thing to do backfires on us leaving friends and family uncomfortable and irritated.
Often you think that if you don’t engage in the “right” behavior you are being somehow rude, so you tend to overcompensate by doing the “wrong” thing.
Common faux paus:
Hugs and kisses
We all love them right? Well, not all of us. Many individuals often feel like a well-intentioned hug or kiss is actually an invasion of personal space. Family members and close friends are another story but many times a simple smile or friendly “hello” does the trick. Especially in a post-pandemic world.
Lengthy voicemails
Many individuals loathe voice mail. Especially if it is long. Emailing and texting from your phone is much more welcome and efficient. Keep your texts short and organized when sharing information.
