people really have lost the art of basic common courtesy & it genuinely bothers me 😭 Like I’m not asking anybody to be perfect, I understand people have shit going on, bad days, busy schedules, etc. BUT some things should not have to be explained..
If somebody did something for you, say thank you. If you made a mistake, say my bad. If somebody is waiting on you, COMMUNICATE. If you’re running late, say you’re running late. If you changed your mind, say that. If you don’t wanna do something, say no. Like??? Why are we making basic communication so difficult?
“Hey, I’m running 10 minutes late” takes literally 5 seconds to type. You don’t need to give me your life story 😂 Just have enough consideration to remember that peoples time exists too.
& that’s what gets me. People want grace, patience, understanding & consideration from everybody else but somehow can’t give the same energy back..
Then when you finally say something, suddenly YOU’RE difficult. No. I’m not difficult because I expect grown people to communicate. I’m not asking for perfection, I’m asking for BASIC DECENCY.
We’re Too grown to think “thank you,” “I’m sorry,” “excuse me,” or “I appreciate you” is beneath us.
PLEASE stop with the “that’s just how I am” excuse 😭 Okay… but maybe how you are is inconsiderate??
You can be busy & still communicate. You can be annoyed & still be respectful. You can say no without being rude. You can have boundaries without being an asshole. You can change your mind without wasting somebody else’s time.
Common courtesy costs NOTHING.
You don’t have to like everybody. You don’t have to be everybody’s friend. You don’t even have to agree with people. BUT you can still have enough respect for another human being to not make their life harder than it needs to be.
Like damn 😭 We’re all just trying to get through this shit. The LEAST we can do is have some manners & consider the people around us.
We’re too grown to lack basic manners.
