Maintain Friendly And Respectful Behavior

Some people do not understand that they are disrespectful and unfriendly to others and even to themselves. Do you know what kind of impact you make on yourself and others. There are many reasons we treat others and even ourselves poorly some of them you can see here.

Our families impact us drastically, but if we are conscious enough, we can change the whole family trees history by being different. We all matter and our opinions matter. And that is why I want to address this issue of disrespect and unfriendliness and how to improve these attitudes towards not only how we treat others but also with ourselves.

Firstly, I want to mention what is unfriendly and disrespectful behavior:

  • Body-shaming – calling someone’s body names.
  • Violence of any kind (emotional, physical, mental) by naming someone in bad words like swear words or even any other word that he wants to call out someone in a rude way.
  • Hate speech, bullying, personal attacks, discrimination, harassment, or trolling - these can be categorized by violence because it is harmful for everyone including the person who acts in this way.
  • Behaving loudly when someone talks, and it causes talking (even other sounds) over someone and doesn’t allow others to express their ideas, opinions and thoughts, also shows disrespect and ignorance about other people, and shows that only you are the important one.
  • Illegal activities, such as drug use, alcohol or crime or xxx content.
  • Shouting religious denominations sayings as pranks, as jokes or any other way disrespect them – disrespectful because of the conflicts all around the world.
  • Drama – to pull everyone in gossip, violence, lies, impolite behavior, illegal behavior and to make someone’s life miserable.
  • Spamming – repeated messages which are annoying and disturbs others.
  • Sharing inappropriate videos, opinions and photos.

Secondly, what can cause these unfriendly and disrespectful behaviors:

  • Stress or Anxiety: High levels of stress or anxiety can lead to irritability and withdrawal from social interactions.
  • Past Experiences: Negative interactions or experiences in the past can make someone more guarded or less open to connecting with others.
  • Personality Traits: Some people naturally have more reserved or introverted personalities, which may come across as unfriendly.
  • Lack of Social Skills: If you haven’t had much practice in social situations, you might feel unsure about how to engage with others, leading to misunderstandings.
  • Mood or Mental Health: Depression or other mental health issues can affect how you interact with others, making you seem distant or unfriendly.
  • Cultural or Environmental Factors: Sometimes, the environment or culture you’re in can influence social behaviors, making it seem normal to be less expressive or friendly.
  • Abuse – abused people can abuse someone further, can be nice because they were abused and do not want to see others suffer like they did and, in some cases, those behaviors can be mixed as friendly and kind together because of the abuse.

Sometimes unkind people at heart are the kindest people in their hearts and they use unkindness as a shield to protect themselves and only reveal their kindness to few people. If you’re concerned about this, consider reflecting on your feelings, seeking feedback from trusted friends, or even talking to a professional who can help you explore these feelings further. Building social connections takes time and effort, and it’s okay to seek support in that process.

Lastly, how can we help others to be more friendly and respectful:

  • To encourage them to not do that by saying it is not nice to do that to others.
  • Talking calmly and showing them by example how to treat others.
  • Suggest helping them with some advice if they need it.
  • See the good in others instead of the bad because we all have our demons to face every day, and we all need some encouragement time to time to better ourselves. By saying this I meant that we need to see good at the same time remind (not judge – like to put someone in shame by doing something bad etc.) them kindly and respectfully that their behavior was not the best.
  • Yes, if someone acts too dramatic than they should be banned or muted because they do not stop it. Always give second and third chances to change because we all are humans especially to those who have learned to sewar and do bad things, they may never have had someone that tells them that their behavior is not ethical.

I suggest observing and being mindful of your actions because everything we do impacts not only others but ourselves too. And above it all I hope you can grow and be successful in life.
