How can I stop being rude?

By pausing to think the outcome of being rude. What does this do for you and how does it affect your interpersonal relationships. For the first time, it will be difficult to pull back from your habitual reaction- But, each time you act differently than being rude, you're resetting your brain to think before acting rudely the next time.

To stop being rude, it'd be wise to stop and think about your choice of words and tone before speaking to someone. I find it more helpful to think before. It would also be kind to smile while talking, or using the appropiate facial expressions when it is appropriate. Facial expressions are important to show your empathy.

Maybe reflect before speaking. If you don't have anything positive to say, don't say anything at all.

If I catch myself being rude, I normally try to be funny instead. Being funny does two things. It dissolves some of the tension and also lets the person you were talking to know that it wasn't anything personal (maybe what you said before was a joke gone wrong rather than a slur). If that doesn't work or isn't appropriate, apologising normally snaps me out of it.

Try to take a few seconds before you say or do anything to think it through. Would you want someone to do or say the thing you are about to say/do to you? If the answer is "no", or "I don't give a $***!" then don't do it. Don't do anything in anger. It clouds judgement.

by cutting toxic people from your life. It is hard for us to be nice when we are in the bad environment. But being nice, by thinking positive can avoid rudeness and thinking negative. By thinking positive, you will speak positive things and have a positive life bt thinking negative, you will speak negative things and might succeed like this way.

Think of 1 compliment to say to 1 person you know very well. Make a goal for that 1 day to say it and with no hesitation, even if it may seem like a random timing, just say it. Then up your goal for the next day to 2 compliments maybe to 1 person or 2 people at 1 compliment for each person. Keep increasing your goal until your full of compliments. After a while, you won't need to set your goal and they will come naturally when something happens or you see something/someone you would like to compliment. This is a great way to eliminate rudeness within yourself, including other people who are rude back. Someone is rude to you, give them an honest compliment and they will not expect it. Example: Rude person: "At least I can afford something better to wear then what you are wearing." You: "And it looks absolutely stunning! It really looks good on you. Where did you get it?" Rude person: "I got it at..." You may notice yourself becoming more pleasant, and even a change in the other person.

Acknowledging it is your first step! for awhile you will have to have a constant internal monologue with yourself and think ahead of time about your actions, responses and words in real time. Constantly thinking about how to remain polite will help and itll eventually become second nature.

Find the reason behind your attitude and you'll be able to find a solution. One method you can try is to think more positively and see the good in people. Compliment people, start your day with a positive quote and most of all love yourself. If you feel good, you're more likely to make others feel good too.

Compassion is key. Sometimes people are very rude just because sometimes they don't think about how their words may affect others. On the flipside, sometimes people are resilient to rude words so they treat others rudely, not knowing it hurts them. Sometimes being rude comes from internal distress, so sometimes keeping feelings in check and making sure the way you're acting isn't because you're lashing out at others helps.
