As kids our parents must have taught us to write thank you notes whenever someone sent us a gift. But as years passed, we somewhere left behind that one good manner. You still receive gifts except now you just verbally say thank you instead of genuinely penning down a beautiful thank you note. You might think it isn't a big deal but it just might be one. Be humble and start writing a few thank you notes.

As much as you think your friend's house is your own, it is just not okay to leave it messier than it was. In fact, you're supposed to leave it in an even better condition than you found it in. Be it anywhere, if you're a house-guest at somebody's place, it's always better to live tidily and not make a mess out of the place. It's a very bad habit which you should've left behind in your college days.

You should know what your priorities are when you either go out on a date or hang out with your friends. You must always and always avoid your phone while you're with someone and make good conversations because that's what you're there for. If you're going to be on your phone sitting in front of the other person, it's not just rude but also means that you're not interested in that little time you're out with them.

It often happens that when you and your group of friends are talking about something, someone who's new to the gang might feel left out. This could happen at work, in college or just about anywhere. In such cases, try to loop in the new one with what you're talking about and make them feel like one. Excluding them from the conversation or your plans to hang out with your gang isn't just rude but also a very toxic habit to have.

You might not be the one to listen to good words about your own self from others when they try to compliment your appearance, work or how you handled a situation. But responding them with a rejected reply like "no I don't look that good", "it's no big deal" or "anybody could've done that" is just out and out awkward and rude to the other person. Might as well just take the praises in a sweet gesture.

When you're communicating with someone, it's always better to be a good listener as well as a talker. Share your likes and dislikes and your thoughts and perspectives. But don't go overboard with just talking about yourself all the time. It's annoying to another level. Nobody wants to listen to you obsess over your own self and not talk about anything else at all.

Talking about someone in front of someone else is only acceptable if you're all praises, not otherwise. Talking bad or gossiping about someone behind their back is such a bad habit to even have. It leads to no one trusting you with their piece of information as they'd fear you talking it out to others. Don't gossip or indulge in gossiping sessions with your friends. It's highly negative and mean.

You can't ever have a conversation with someone without looking them in the eye. That makes the opposite person think that you're not interested or that you're a bad listener. Always maintain an eye contact with the person you're conversing with in order to show that you're all ears to them and also having a good interesting in what they have to say.

This is one of the most basic things to do while you speak to someone. Saying 'thank you' or 'please' should be like a default setting in your communication with someone. It's out and out rude if you don't show that you're grateful to someone or to show a request towards them for doing something for you.

We're always taught 'sharing is caring', and that's one etiquette to follow. If you're someone who doesn't share, be it food, things, stationary, or anything you come across as too private which doesn't always work in your favour. People won't like sharing with you as well if you can't share your things.
