I’ve noticed in school how much more the teachers treat me with respect and how they let me do more things since I have good manners. It’s more of a habit for me to say thank you, its like even when thank you wasn’t needed, I say it. Plus, it can make someone happier within like a second, even if they don’t say you’re welcome back, don’t do things because of what you get in return. Sometimes if you are kind to a rude person, they don’t know how to react, so it just shows you’re the better person anyways. Like my school secretary, lmao, I’m sweet as pie to that bitch, and I can always tell how mad she gets when I don’t argue with her.
