From childhood, people are taught good manners, culture of behavior. A polite child knows how to say thank you, say hello, say goodbye, and apologize. With age, other manners are added to the concept of "politeness" - tact, attentiveness, courtesy. If such skills are not instilled in the process of education, you can learn them on your own.
Instructions
Step 1
Politeness and tact are signs of a cultured person. Such qualities are determined by morality based on an attentive and sensitive attitude towards the people around them. Learn to show these qualities in your daily life. In addition to using common polite words (such as thank you, please excuse me), you need to treat people in your business. To give way in transport to someone who is older in age, to help carry the luggage, to hold the door in order to let a person pass forward - all these elementary actions should be performed automatically. Remember to do everything the way you would like other people to do in relation to you.
Step 2
Being tactful is just as important as polite words and actions. A tactful person will not allow situations to be created around him that upset other people or put them in an awkward position. In any life circumstances, try to be guided by this principle.
Step 3
Politeness always goes alongside modesty. Even if you have tons of talents and advantages over other people, never boast about it. Such behavior will be unpleasant for the people around you, and they are unlikely to consider you a polite person. If you get into an argument, never raise your voice or prove your case with incorrect expressions that affect the personality or abilities of your opponent.
Step 4
Do not impose your opinion on others, everyone has the right to their own perception. Always keep your promises and don't meddle in other people's affairs. Know how to stop debate in time and change the topic of conversation if the situation is heating up. Learn to admit your mistakes and apologize.
Step 5
In addition to all of the above qualities, a polite person must have good manners. If he pokes his nose or chomps at the table, those around him will immediately classify him as ignorant and uncultured people. Then the presence of politeness will no longer matter much. Learn the correct manners at the table, in a public place, etc. Control your actions until they become automatic.
Step 6
Treat everyone around you with a sincere respect and selflessness. Then you will earn a reputation for being polite.
