It is customary to call bad habits those with which we ruin our physical and mental health. Most often, these include the use of various psychoactive substances. But there are no less destructive habits that few people pay attention to - social.
- Egocentrism. Very often there are people who only talk about themselves. Sometimes they can ask you a question, but only in order to then say: "I see, but I …". An egocentric person transfers any topics of conversation to himself, and it is not at all interesting to communicate with him. If you notice such a feature in yourself, try to correct it. Ask questions, be sincerely interested in your interlocutor. Listen, not in order to answer, but in order to understand. Interrupting also applies to the same problem. Cutting off your opponent's phrases in mid-sentence is not only indecent, but also destructive to your relationship.
- Inattention during dialogue. In the modern world, many people do not let go of their mobile phones. Sometimes they look at the screen even during a conversation with a living person! This habit is definitely worth getting rid of. You will not get any productive result from the simultaneous dialogue and communication on the Internet. A lot of information will be missed, and the person, most likely, will not want to communicate with you anymore. If you urgently need to resolve some issue on social networks, ask to wait a minute, then put your mobile phone aside.
- Self-pity. Seeking attention to yourself sometimes leads to a flood of complaints. A person begins to refute all compliments addressed to him, than he tries to achieve new words of praise: "Don't be silly, I look just awful today …". If you have received a compliment, accept it. Even if you don't feel attractive enough at the moment, limit yourself to words of gratitude. And the topic of complaints concerns not only compliments, but also the whole life. Try to be a more cheerful person. The less you tell others how bad everything is in your life, the easier and more fun your life will be.
- Try to please everyone. This habit may be liked by others, but it is destructive for the person himself. For all requests and deeds, no nerves and physical strength can be saved. The desire to help everyone and everyone only leads to exhausted nerves and irritability. Learn to say no, and only devote your time to things that really matter.
There are only four habits, but after getting rid of them, you will see how much warmer and more comfortable communication with the people around you has become. A little effort and practice - and a new style of communication will firmly enter your life.
