I've noticed this too. Some people tell me it's an American thing, to prefer formality over relaxation and warmth. I think everyone should try to act kind but be understanding of others' feelings. If you can't do any good, at least don't act badly. I think second chances are always a good approach. We have no idea what's going on with people when we first meet!CzechTigg wrote: ↑14 Jan 2016, 14:08 It's a funny one really. Some people seem suspicious of open warmth, and prefer formality. Often I know only with hindsight. I try to be decent most of the time but can be irritable, so may seem like I don't follow this mantra. But we are only human. I always give someone a second chance, unless they are clearly bad news.
