Chewing gum loudly during meetings or snacking in places where it’s not acceptable can make you seem inattentive to social context. It’s not about expensive clothes—it’s about dressing appropriately for the occasion. Showing up to a formal event in casual wear sends the wrong message. Interrupting an experience for everyone else because you can’t stay quiet shows a lack of respect for the moment. Resorting to insults instead of reason in disagreements makes you look small, not strong. Composure is the higher ground.
