Top 9 pests of your social status

Habit #1 – Whining and complaining

Communication between people involves not only pouring out the soul and telling about all the mischief of fate in the person of the interlocutor. Do not look for a pillow in friends and acquaintances to cry and speak out. Constant whining and complaints that there is no money, no apartment, the husband is tired, it is not possible to lose weight, and the like, they bother other people. And instead of support, you can only get irritation, anger and refusal to communicate. There is no need to resort to this style of communication, leave this habit in the past, because it spoils the image of a person.

Doing multiple things is not always a good habit, sometimes it can mean a reluctance to communicate and can lead to mutual misunderstanding and breakup of relationships. Listen to an English language course and wash dishes – it is a good habit to save your own resources in order to make time for your family. As for bad habits, talking on the phone and looking at photos on social networks – already a sign of disrespect for the interlocutor. A situation may arise when, due to inattention, you miss important news, and after a question from the interlocutor, there is nothing left to do but ask again. I think it’s not very pleasant when, during a conversation with a friend, only – «uh-huh» and "yep."

Habit #3 – Monologue, not dialogue with the interlocutor

Some people get so carried away with the conversation and their problems that during the conversation, instead of a dialogue, only a monologue is obtained. Sometimes questions are asked automatically, we do not even think about the meaning for the interlocutor.

If in response to a standard question you heard a phrase whose meaning is difficult to understand, do not hesitate to ask again and clarify: what is the name of the profession, or where exactly do you work, what does it mean.

When you are attentive to the conversation, you show interest in the person and life of the interlocutor at the same time, and interest in you increases as a response.

Habit #4 – Many tasks, little efficiency

Multitasking is sometimes useful, and sometimes it can mean inattention to loved ones. When you come home from work, there is little desire to play and jump with children, or flirt with your husband / wife. Sometimes there is neither time nor energy to spend time with family. But the family also involves joint activities and entertainment, it is not necessary to turn on the TV and watch everything. You can come up with games and fun without even getting up from the couch. At the same time, all family members take part and everyone is in a good mood.

Habit #5 – "Harmful" compliments

Who would like it if, in addition to self-flagellation for

full hips, girlfriends also pointed out a flaw.

Not all people have the ability to listen, even those who work in the service and sales sectors. Interrupting a person, not allowing him to express his thoughts and opinions, means only disrespect for the interlocutor, and can turn out to be deplorable.
