Unwritten social rules everyone should know

Greeting Etiquette = the 6S- Stand, See, Smile, State, Say, Shake hands.

Always getup when you're sitting and someone come to greet you.

Don't look at your phone when others are talking to you.

When someone hands you over their phone to show you a photo, DON’T SWIPE RIGHT, DON’T SWIPE LEFT, they are showing you one particular photo, it does not mean you can look up their entire photo gallery, just look at the photo they are showing and give their phone back.

Unwritten rules (synonyms: Unspoken rules) are behavioral constraints imposed in organizations or societies that are not voiced or written down. They usually exist in unspoken and unwritten format because they form a part of the logical argument or course of action implied by tacit assumptions.

Social etiquette holds no objection to using the phrase "good morning " to anyone, be it boss, or lover or friend - it is what it says, a gesture of acknowledgment and affability.

I will now share with you some rules of etiquette I apply in my own life, when in communication with others. You may integrate as many as you like, and discount the rest if you feel they do not work for you, or are applicable to your environment or situation:

Never interrupt someone in the middle of a sentence or conversation to interject a thought or opinion: if you feel it's important to say, make a note of what you want to say or respond with - it’s okay to temporarily disengage mentally in order to do so.

Speak your truth, but soothe your words with peace.

When in conversation with or meeting someone new for the first time, treat the person as if they were a guest on your talk show - ask about their family, home, interests, favorite books, etc.

This doesn't mean have a one-sided dialogue however, as that will feel more like an inquisition than a conversation. I like the ratio of thirds: 1/3 of the conversation is about you, and the other 2/3rds are about them.

If you find yourself in the midst of a lively or heated discussion or debate, and you want to disengage and de-escalate the emotional austerity, say something along the lines of:

Well, you've certainly given me something to consider there. Or it’s nice that we can have conversations like those (putting it in the past tense) while still respecting the other's opinion. Or I appreciate getting your feedback on that topic/issue/article/news item.

Thank you?...Smile. Not a false, toothpaste commercial, exaggerated smile, but a genuine smile that conveys kindness and approachability.

If this doesn't come easy to you, or you feel the conversation is headed down the wrong road, a smile can disarm most potentially troublesome thoughts or words.

When necessary, bring your mind to some place or thing that makes you feel tranquility, safety or love, and speak from there, or decide whether it is worth the trouble of inadvertently hurting the other person.

Dress well no matter what the occasion.

Always carry cash.

Always getup when you're sitting and someone come to greet you.

Always comment on good things don't keep in heart.

If the phone is on the speaker inform.

Chat to anyone who is sitting alone at a party or in a group.

Don’t have the impulse to sit near look-alike you. If everyone fulfils this, people who represent any minority will end up sitting alone.

If feasible, avoid the plan to go outdoor if you have a runny nose.

Wave your hand rather than calling his or her name if someone is far or on phone or earphones plugged in.

People know the worth. If successful wear shirt of 300 it seems rupees. Don’t show off.

When anyone gets shouted at don’t look at them. It’s more awkward.

Always open the door for the person coming behind you. Doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl.

Stop being late, its irritating. When someone starts talking about their conditions, don't start talking about yours.

Never ask a shy person what’s wrong or ask them ‘why aren’t you talking more?’ It only makes them feel more awkward.

When visiting someone's house, carry something.

When you open a gift, just say thank you. Don't say, "It's too expensive!"

Being vegetarian or non-vegetarian is a choice. Don't ask anyone why it's so.

Do not sympathize with anyone in public. This will embarrass a person more than be laughing at.

Don't expect others to understand how hard you are working and living. Everyone doing.

If you like working with smart people, be prepared to be used by them too. As well as Worshipped and learn from them too. Your attitude.

Don't make suggestions; but when it comes to house, car, and marriage don't give advice. Because these are very important things & if something goes wrong you’ll be blamed or they may stop talking to you.

Do you want to add a word or two?....

When you are being alone, but in a Public place like on a road, in traffic or in a park. You are bound to some social rules such as:

Never litter the place. Use dustbins.

Don’t disturb others unnecessarily.

While driving doesn't honk without need.

Follow the rules of the road or that place.

Never tease anyone and Keep your attitude to yourself.

Emotional Security: Your home belongs to you and your family. It is a space that reflects who you are and how you want to be.

Build Your Own Asset: As mentioned above, rent is pure expenditure. Once that money goes, it’s gone. You can use the same amount towards a home loan while building your own asset over time.

It’s an Investment: Property prices usually appreciate over the long term. Buying a home is a way of increasing your wealth over time. So, the later you buy, the more you will have to pay; the earlier the better.

Deciding between renting and buying is common for any aspiring homeowner.

Social etiquette holds no objection to using the phrase "good morning " to anyone, be it boss, or lover or friend - it is what it says, a gesture of acknowledgment and affability.
