The affected style of Etiquette springs willful distortion of words and actions, gestures and speeches. Some will put on a deeper voice, others a different intonation and accent, still others may like to keep their listeners enthralled and hence they would like as much time to narrate an incident as possible, only for the sake of effect. They little realize that people are not so gullible as to take him as a master speaker. Rather, they could be bored beyond measure and might avoid him in future in all pleasant discourses.
It falls under good Etiquette to give everybody a chance in conversation, to let the conversation shift from person to person, so that an atmosphere of participation, fellow feeling, of good relationship may persist. Normally, if a person has as superiority complex, he would want everybody to pay attention to him, so that he may occupy the center of the stage in the group.
The first and foremost rule of social Etiquette therefore, is to shed all forms of complexes, pertaining to superiority and inferiority. A balanced behavior is to be cultivated and achieved. Treat all men as equals, and your own attitude to life and people will undergo a change for the better, provided it requires any change.
