Help in changing attitude?

Question

I have a really bad attitude. I always say possibly the worst things at the worst times. And normally when I say stuff I won't care how it affects the other person. And I can be really rude. I know this is very wrong. Do you know anything I can do to change my attitude?

Answer 1

I do this when I am uncomfortable with the people I am with. Or I do this when I come out of an all day tv or computer day by myself. Practice with social skills makes perfect.

Answer 2

Yeah...learn to shut your mouth when it needs to be shut.

I lack the insight to even make such a statement about myself, but it's good that you can.

Answer 3

Well you have already started, they say half the battle of conquering a problem is recognizing that you have one.  

I would suggest that you think before anything comes out of your mouth.  You say you don't care but in actuality deep down inside of you, you do care, otherwise you would not have posted this question.  

Kudos to you,  It won't be easy in the beginning but make a conscience effort and eventually it will become second nature.

Answer 4

Well, you have taken the first step of admitting there is a problem. Next, think about what you say BEFORE you say it and if it is not positive or if it is hurtful, just do not say it. Work on complimenting people first and it gets easier from here

Answer 5

You have to make a conscious effort. I would imagine after a while you would start to lose friends and nobody would want to be around you. Don't you want to be that person who everyone gets along with? You don't have to be "bubbly" to be respectful.

Answer 6

Try to think about others. Think if you would like to be treated rudely.

Get in to the shoes of others and try to understand them.

Refrain to make rude comments to other people if you have nothing nice to say. Count to ten or even fifty before you say anything rude to others.

Start by treating others with respect.
