July 30th, 2009Etiquette LessonSometimes, I find myself listening to THE dullest conversations. This can be at any function, outing or even a raging party. Tedious and boring conversations are inevitable. But how you act in these situations says a lot about your character. How we carry ourselves can send a message just as clearly as what we say.
Standing or sitting up straight, appearing confident, looking people in the eye, and having a smile gives people the impression that you are polite, confident and pleasant.
Scowling, crossing your arms, slouching, or staring off into the distance (even if these are just nervous habits) may make people think that you are angry, unapproachable, or disinterested.
