BETTER ME:SERIOUSLY,YOU NEED TO STOP BEING RUDE.
No lies,we all have our rude moments,moments when we act rudely,and sometimes feel bad afterwards,but there are some people that being rude is a lifestyle for them,they don't even see themselves as being rude,they see it as normal but trust me it is not normal.You wouldn't know but you might make someone you could help you not help you because you have being rude to them...let me share with you an experience on that.
Last semester when I had a general exam,there was this girl who was sent home by my school's dress code to go and change because they said what she was wearing was inappropriate,she was well dressed,not exposing any part of her body,she was asked to remove the jacket she was wearing on her sleeveless jumpsuit which she obliged,
everyone around was fighting for her,I went in for my exam with my friend and after the exam I saw her and I walked up to her to ask if she was allowed to write her exam....I got the most embarrassing moment of my life,she was like "what is your own,why are you asking me,do you want to write the exam for me?,abi wassup with your aproko",before some of her dumb friends also jumped in.
Mehnnn I felt washed,I felt like tearing up right there,if there was anyway I could help her that day which I would have tried doing,nothing in this world would make me render that assistance.That is how so many of us have lost opportunities just because of being rude.
What does it mean to be rude?
Rudeness (also called effrontery) is a display of disrespect by not complying with the social norms or etiquette of a group or culture. These norms have been established as the essential boundaries of normally accepted behavior. To be unable or unwilling to align one's behavior with these norms known to the general population of what is socially acceptable is to be rude and are enforced as though they were a sort of social law, with social repercussions or rewards for violators or advocates.
Rudeness "constituted by deviation from whatever counts as politic in a given social context, is inherently confrontational and disruptive.
Forms of rudeness include;
* Being impolite.
* Deliberately offensive.
* Obscenity.
* Profanity.
* Being too defensive.
* Disrespecting other people
* Hating on other people,or making hate speech.
* Making jest of other people.
* And there is this thing most university girls do,I don't know what to call it,when someone just passes and a group of people will just start laughing and make snide comments like "what is she wearing..","see his shoes" blablabla,I am no saint but then some people do it to an extreme.
* Making other people uncomfortable.etc
Here are reasons why I think people are rude,I am going to talk from my own perspective...
*Peer Pressure: It is funny what some people would do to to "feel among",if you have a friend who is rude,you don't have to be like her or him,you could correct the person and make them know what they actually do is bad.
*Weakness: Some people actually cover or hide their weakness by being rude,they don't want you to see how scared or marred they are due to some personal demons,so they carry the facade of a angry wolf.
* To Gain Respect: It will surprise you to know some people feel the only or one of the ways they can gain respect is by being rude to other people,mind you being rude doesn't happen only between a older and younger person,you can also be rude to your mate or even someone you are older than.
* Upbringing: The kind of environment we grow up affects our mentality in a way,if my mum was the person who insults everybody,picks up fight at every opportunity,and makes jest of people or backlash,I don't think you can tell me that is not a normal way of life,because growing up,I would be used to the fact that,that is the normal way to treat people.But our parents are humans too,if you grew up in an environment like that it is not too late to turn a new leaf.
* Inferiority Complex: Thinking you are better than someone,or thinking someone is better than you is rude,and it makes people do stupid things like hating on others or just being jealous unnecessarily.
Let us all learn to be courteous as we can be,it might be hard but being courteous makes people like you,say sorry when you need to not when you feel you need to,say sorry even when you are not at fault,and accept people's apology too...not hiss after someone stepped on you and said sorry *is your foot gold?*,say please when you need something from someone,tone down your command tone,never think someone is below you,speak nicely of others and about others,respect other people's opinions,be nice,help people when you can and so much more.
Stop being rude and let us make the world a much better place...
