Do you apologize too much? Some people do it excessively...
Do you say “I’m sorry” for things you don’t need to be sorry about? If you do – that’s a bad habit that needs breaking. Apologizing unnecessarily makes you look like a pushover. If you bump into someone – go ahead and apologize. If they bumped in to you – don’t. Here are a few more social tics to avoid:
• Cracking knuckles. It might not bother you – but it drives some people nuts.
• Touching yourself. Some people get twitchy when they’re nervous. If you scratch your nose, touch your hair or have to keep adjusting – it will be noticed.
• Touching others. People are sensitive about their personal space. It’s best to keep touching to a minimum until you really know someone.
• Umm. Most of us do it – use a crutch word to fill a pause. If you catch yourself using “umm,” “like” or “y’know” a lot, try slowing down a bit. Chances are you’re either talking too fast or haven’t thought things through.
