We interact with different people in different environments throughout the day. While walking with family members, classmates, or colleagues, various things come up in conversation. While chatting or talking with different people in different situations, many times out of habit, we make some mistakes, which is not good at all. 10 Bad Habits to Know and Tips to Fix:

1. Obstructing others
Chatting somewhere, the person next to you is talking incoherently. What thought suddenly came to your mind, you also said your own words in his words. It seems normal but in reality, it is a bad habit. Jumping in on someone else's words, no matter how relevant, doesn't look good at all. Not letting the other person finish the conversation is disrespectful. So, if it is not very important, refrain from interjecting your own words into the conversation of others.
2. Just talking about yourself
Talking too much about yourself hides a kind of arrogance. Apart from that, the fact that you are not paying attention to other people's talk is also revealed through this bad habit. But it's true that everyone wants to express themselves a little. But it doesn't look good to talk too much about yourself without giving others a chance. Apart from that, 'beating the drum' more and more in chat or conversation becomes very annoying for others. So if possible, quit this bad habit today.
3. Scrolling the phone while talking
Someone sitting next to you is talking and you are listening attentively. Suddenly your phone rang. Maybe someone sent a small message. You picked up the phone and started scrolling habitually after reading the message. Such incidents often happen to you and me. Getting busy on the phone in the middle of a conversation is also a bad habit. Mobile phones are mainly for communicating with people far away. So give attention to the person sitting right next to you who is talking without using the phone in front of him.
4. Always establish yourself as right
A normal conversation can suddenly turn into a debate. It is our natural instinct to justify everything we say in order to win an argument. But it is also a bad habit to avoid. In such a situation, it is important to be tolerant of other people's opinions instead of reading about who is right and who is wrong.
5. Imposing comments without letting others finish
Most people don't want to fully listen to others. He always waits to add his own comment in the middle of others' words. This is another bad habit. When someone is speaking or sharing a story in front of you, listen patiently and attentively. If you want to make your own comment in the middle of his speech, be quiet without appearing scholarly, take a deep breath, and wait. Let others finish first, then take your time to comment thoughtfully.
6. Turning all talk into 'gossip'
Adding 'gossip' to any conversation is not a good idea. Since not everyone has enough time in today's world to verify any information, refrain from making false statements about anyone. As a result, one can easily keep oneself away from exclusionary acts like being jealous, practicing blasphemy, and spreading rumors. So if there is nothing to say, it is better to be silent!
7. Making unnecessary or unsolicited comments
Just as we should respect other people's opinions while talking, we should also respect sensitive issues like religion, culture, and behavior of others. If someone is hurt by your unnecessary words or comments during the chat, be sure to admit the mistake and apologize. And promise him not to say the same thing again.
8. Matching someone else's words
Someone recently visited St. Martin with his family, sharing some of his great experiences there. Halfway through you also mentioned your trip to St. Martin five years ago. We do that often. By matching someone else's words, we overstate our own experience. It is also a bad habit. So listen to other's experiences first. It is better not to mention the unwanted experience there.
9. Ask more probing and personal questions
Jumpesh is chatting somewhere. Your chatterbox friend is going on and on. But this does not mean that he is ready to present all the truths of his life in front of you. Even the chattiest man in the chat has some personal issues, which are all his own. There is no access to the rights of others. So avoid embarrassing someone by asking unnecessarily probing or personal questions in the middle of the conversation.
10. Making unnecessary jokes
Got some free time in the office, chatting with some colleagues in a corner. He is keeping a good conversation. Your sense of humor is also great. But the audience doesn't know about your sense of humor. You suddenly say something jokingly or make fun of someone. You may have done it for fun, but others may not take it as fun. So be careful about this.
