social etiquette

Social etiquette refers to the accepted behaviors and manners that help people interact respectfully and considerately. It includes actions like saying "please" and "thank you," listening when others speak, respecting personal space, and being punctual. These guidelines foster positive relationships, reduce misunderstandings, and create a comfortable environment. While not strict rules, etiquette reflects kindness, empathy, and awareness of others’ feelings. Adapting to different settings and cultures shows respect and helps maintain smooth, cooperative interactions in both personal and public life.
