3. Sneezing

In essence, picture a space around yourself and around the other, including space that's shared (public restroom, airport waiting room). Be good to that space. Treat it with respect.

THE GOLDEN RULE

How do you know what's respectful? Empathy. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

LET IT ALL HANG IN.

Somewhere along the way, "let it all hang out" got out of control. We now need to protect ourselves from one another. Your emotional state, for instance, needn't be commented upon continually. Nor do we need to know intimate details about your sex life. War stories afflict the hearer as much as the original recipient. Advice and opinions are best received when invited. Depression is depressing.

It isn't all about you. It's about you and the others in your environment. Don't "Jaba the Hut" others. Stay in your space.

Space violations engender negative emotions. Emotional management is Emotional Intelligence.

CORRELLARY: When you develop your own Emotional Intelligence, your world will become less rude. Rudeness is a closed feedback loop. People become rude because they've been treated badly, and then they turn around and do the same thing. When you've been assaulted with too much rudeness too long, you become hostile. You quit caring about the other.

CHANGE YOURSELF. CHANGE YOUR WORLD.

Clients often tell me after EQ work with me, how much nicer people are. There are some people who are inveterately rude, it's true, but there are other people who are reacting to what's coming at them. When you've learned to manage yourself, and those around you, you naturally elicit respect.

STOP THE MADNESS

So how do we stop this epidemic of rudeness? Start with yourself. Take a look at the list and see how you're doing.

Then start being POLITE. It's from the Latin "polished" -smooth, round, with no rough edges.

According to m-w, it means "showing or characterized by correct social usage; marked by an appearance of consideration, tact, deference or courtesy; marked by a lack of roughness or crudities."

Practically speaking?

Practically speaking?

• Hold the door open for someone.
• Say "please," "thank you," "excuse me," and "may I?"
• Turn off the cell phone.
• Modulate your voice.
• Don't force your opinions on others.
• Smell good.
• Talk nice.
• Be considerate.
• And work with an EQ coach!

P.S. "Might makes right" only in the barnyard. If you're abusing others with rudeness because you're the boss, the father, the owner, the richest, or the biggest, shame on you!
