“He behaves like a real idiot,” when you hear such a phrase, you can be sure: we are talking about a person who acts stupidly, recklessly, annoys other people with his antics. Involuntarily the question arises whether everything is in order with his head. You must admit that it would be very unpleasant to find out that they speak so about you.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to always and everywhere be polite and considerate of other people. It can be very difficult at times, especially if you are tired, annoyed, in trouble at work, etc. But still control yourself. After all, if, for example, you flare up, make a loud scandal in front of strangers, few of them will think about why this happened, whether you had reason to get angry. But the conclusion about your bad manners and strange behavior will be made for sure.
Step 2
Make it a rule to only discuss issues and topics in which you are well versed. A person who expresses his opinion without even really understanding what it is about looks simply stupid. If he does this all the time, day in and day out, he will almost certainly be called an idiot behind his back. Remember: it is better to remain silent than to say nonsense and find yourself in an awkward position.
Step 3
In the event that it is impossible to evade the conversation for some reason, and you are not familiar with the topic, try to limit yourself to short general phrases just to keep the conversation going. Better yet, honestly admit that you are poorly versed in the issue under discussion. There is nothing shameful or reprehensible here.
Step 4
When contacting other people (at work, at a party, in a store, transport, etc.), follow the generally accepted rules of conduct. Even if you hate any patterns, restrictions, are inclined to very original, on the verge of shocking, actions and habits, try to still refrain from them. Remember, other people don't have to share your tastes and habits. At home, you can dress as you please and behave as you please. And in a public place, be kind enough to reckon with the customs and traditions of the majority.
Step 5
In short, try to behave exactly in accordance with the English saying: "If you do not want to be considered an idiot, do not do idiotic acts."
