Respecting the People Around You
makes you unapproachable. A person continually looking at their cellphone will appear uninterested in what’s happening around them. Keep your phone in your car, the bottom of your purse, another room, or your back pocket while you’re with others, so you can interact and meet new people. Skillfully Stepping Away If you need to take a call, the most polite way to do so is to excuse yourself. When you’re with someone else, explain that you need to take your call and that you’ll be back in a few minutes, which allows them to understand why you need to leave.
