You may forgive an individual time and again, but then there comes a moment where you decide that you are not going to accept poor behavior and rudeness anymore. It's not worth the trouble and resulting struggle.
How does a series of events like this begin?
Simply, you may accept a person's poor behavior time and again for all kinds of kind and important reasons. Perhaps the person doesn't know any better or they are facing a tough time and they have made an error in judgement. However, when poor behavior becomes a pattern, you don't have to take it and you actually do the person a favor by not accepting their rude behavior. Rude behavior distances people from one another and sets up difficult situations.
So, rather than accept the poor behavior, what can you do?
First, check your own behavior? Are you polite or are you rude? How can you elevate your ability to be a kind, thoughtful, and polite individual with the way you use words, welcome people, and spend time with others.
Next, take a break from the rude person. Step back for some time to get a good perspective on what's happening and why.
Later, with kind, cool words, simply state that you won't accept that kind of language, actions, or behavior and simply explain why.
We all have choices about who we spend time with and what that time is like. I have been fortunate to spend lots of really nice times with many, many polite and kind people. That's the kind of life I like, and that's the kind of events I'll seek to promote and be apart of in the days ahead.
