We all know that being nice doesn't always work in our favor. We're social by nature and it's one of the most difficult things for us to do when we're around others who are being unkind or rude. It can be hard to always act with kindness and understanding, so here are some tips on how to be nicer when you’re out in public.

Don’t be afraid to make small talk.

You’re in a public place and someone is always trying to start a conversation with you. Just make sure you’re not being too nosy by asking these questions. “How are you?” “How was your day?” “What’s going on?” These questions will get you started, and then you can wing it if someone else is in the room. You don’t have to know a person’s name right away, and you don’t have to fill their time. Just be nice.

Help those in need.

We all tend to boss people around when we’re around them, but that’s not nice. Helping other people is the opposite of being bossy; it’s giving. When we help out those in need, we’re not just giving them something, but something that means a great deal to us as well. When we’re the ones who are bossy, it’s because we don’t know how to give. When we help out others, we set an example for them that it’s okay to boss people around when they’re around them.

To be more helpful, try these techniques.

Be empathetic.

Empathy is the ability to understand another person’s feelings and thoughts by listening and showing feelings. When we’re around other people, even if we don’t know them well, we can be empathetic by trying to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes.

When people are nice to us, they’re probably trying to put themselves in our shoes so they can understand what it’s like to be us. If we can put ourselves in other people’s shoes and understand what they feel and think, then we can be more understanding and patient with ourselves as well.

Let people know when we’re being bossy.

Some of the best ways to be nice without being garish are to let people know how you’re being treated. When someone is being too nice to you, it’s usually a good idea to say something. When someone is being too nice to a friend, you can say something to the friend to let them know how you feel. If you’re not sure how to do this, just say something.
