Artificiality is negative etiquette. A wrong conception has come to stay that civilized behavior requires behavior in a certain way. The belief is that you have bring in a certain polish and sheen in your actions. Ladies of civilized societies may be taught to smile sweetly and practice this smile as well as lash it in various circumstances when they may feel quite differently inside.
It is true that a part of social politeness is to utter words of greeting, thanks etc. in social meets and discourses under some sort of automatic reactions. This is part etiquette and social culture. However, this behavior should not be extended to mere artificiality where a person may do and say things while his intentions may be quite different.
Affectation
When two persons meet, they may try to excel other and show this off through tales of achievements, real or conjured. This is false competition and is outside the realm of real manners and etiquette. At the same time it is not required that one leaves one’s normal behavior and responses to acquire artificial manners.
Affected style of manners may be the copy of another way of talking, laughing and so on. A style of talking or action which is not normal, will never be impressive.
