People at the dinner table can sometimes get together. And it depends on the behavior of each of them in which way the conversation will go - friendly or scandalous, polite and intelligent or frivolous. However, there are general rules for conducting a conversation at a table, observing which you can pass for any company as a pleasant conversationalist and cultured person.
Instruction manual
1
Never talk at the table about diseases, medicines, hospitals, and even more so about death, funerals and cemeteries. To many people, these sensitive topics are extremely unpleasant, so their appetite and desire to communicate will disappear instantly.
2
Talk about spiders, cockroaches and other insects, rats, molds, fungi, and generally about all unpleasant representatives of flora and fauna is also unacceptable. The fact is that many people have various phobias, sometimes without even knowing about it - for example, arachnophobia (fear of spiders), insectophobia (fear of insects), verminophobia (fear of bacteria, germs, infection), etc. It is unlikely that a person will want to communicate with you after you have caused him negative emotions bordering on mental disorders.
3
You should not say too much about yourself, even if it seems to you that this should be very interesting to everyone. Excess personal information may look like boasting or narcissism, and this causes others to reject. You should also not flaunt your competence in art, technology or any other field: firstly, this is again boasting, and secondly, you can get into trouble by unexpectedly encountering an even more competent person.
4
Sitting at a table and having a friendly conversation, declaring your political views is strictly contraindicated - there are other places and reasons for this. It is not necessary that all those sitting nearby share your point of view on what is happening in the country and in the world, and this can lead to a dispute that turns into a fierce conflict.
5
It is very unpleasant when one of those present releases taunts at the other person or makes fun of his mannerisms at the table. It is also not good to discuss and criticize mutual acquaintances who are currently absent from your company. Generally disrespectful tone or insults towards someone cast a shadow primarily on the speaker himself and translate him into the category of an ill-bred brawler. Only a positive attitude and respect for each other can contribute to a pleasant pastime in the company at the table.
