This tells you how to be civilized and considerate of your fellow diners when you got for a bite to eat or just show up with a large group.

Be polite. When you are seated at a table and your server comes to greet you, stop talking, get off the phone and respond. Think about how it feels for those waiting on you when you make them wait for a long time; you wouldn't do this to people at your work, so try not to do it in a restaurant. Be helpful when the server asks for your drink. Make it very clear what it is that you would like and if you need any changes, spell these out very clearly rather than hoping your server will read your mind. Be considerate if your server asks you if want something before the meal; this is often standard practice. Just say no if it doesn't interest you. Try to discern what is in your meal choice prior to asking questions. That way, you can avoid asking more obvious questions and just ask the questions that are specific to your concerns, such as any need for dietary changes or allergen avoidance. When you receive your meal the server will wait about 30 seconds for you to check it over and make sure it's ok or if you need anything else. Tell the waiter there and then if something concerns you, or if something is missing; that is what this opportunity is for.

Be gracious when the server checks in on you. The server should come back more then one time to see how your are doing, don't ignore them or be rude - a simple nod will do unless there is a problem. Always let the server take your plate when you're done; it's there job to remove the plate. If you need a fresh plate for anything, just ask for one. Although you probably don't want anything after the meal, don't wait if you do because the bill is likely in the process of being tallied up if you dally. The server will ask you if you want anything, and this is your opportunity to ask for dessert, extra drinks etc. Be savvy about payment. When it comes to credit cards or debit, remember they are the same payment method as far as the server is concerned. Don't ask the server to add the tip - that is your job and you should write this in clearly. With cash, an experienced server can tell if you need change or not if you are using a 50 on a 25 dollar meal. But if a server says "I will be right back with your change" but you don't want any, say so right there and then to save them having to make a return trip for naught, especially on a busy night.

If you have more then 10 people, call ahead at least an hour before you come in. It makes things easier for everyone. Get off your cell phone when you're trying to order. It is not only rude to do this around your fellow diners but it complicates the ordering process with your server and mistakes can easily occur. If it's not on the menu, be very, very polite when you ask for something not there. Most of the time, unrelated dishes won't be catered for but changes to existing dishes for dietary and allergy needs often can be done. It also helps to phone in advance to warn the restaurant of such changes if possible. The way you act to your server is the same way they are going act back to you. Be nice, take your time, and don't be rude servers handle your food. You get out of life what you put into it; eating out is pretty similar!

Finding your own happiness starts and ends with you. Read on to find out how to have more joy in life.

Listen to the put down. Is it something petty, like, "I hate that color on you", or is a rude comment, such as, "You're lazy!"? Petty unfounded comments are like a fly stinging a horse; they should be brushed off, but rude comments need more attention. Ask yourself if a rude comment is true. "Am I lazy?" If you know the answer off the top of your head, then brush off the comment (unless it's repeated behavior, then you may want to avoid that person, talk to them about it or tell your boss/teacher, if needed). Ask a trusted friend if they think the comment is true, or you can ask the person why they made that comment, and to give you examples. A good friend will be constructive and help you as much as they can. Work on it if you think the person insulting you has a point. Nobody is perfect, but by being proactive you will improve that particular aspect of yourself. Too meek? Work on it! Take some confidence or public speaking classes. Unfit? Grab a tracksuit and hit the gym. You don't have to do this for every little thing, but working on the big things holding you back will massively improve yourself and your attitude. Learn to ignore worthless comments. They're opinions that are just meant to hurt your feelings, and are not at all truthful. Try to remember that people often insult out of anger or jealousy. Some people take joy out of hurting others, and anything they say should be put in the back of your mind. Laugh at yourself. If it's not a big deal to you, it shouldn't be an issue to others. But remember, laughing at something that really injures your self-esteem is a no. It just gives others the feeling that they too can do that to you.

Get to know who you are and what you want. When you are comfortable in your own skin, loving yourself comes naturally. Make a list of things you're good at or that you like about yourself. For example, "i have a nice smile" or "I'm a good runner". Having a list of all your good qualities will make you feel worthy. You may need to spend more time alone to get to know yourself. Ask yourself, "What do you want?" What makes you happy?" "What don't you like?" "What are you willing to do to please yourself?" Keeping a journal is highly recommended. When you know who you are, and what you like, you will begin to attract like-minded people. "Birds of a feather flock together" is NOT just a saying. Having like-minded, supportive friends will help you ignore the small stuff. Remember, it all starts with you getting to know yourself and liking yourself. Until you do that, don't be surprised if few people like you. Good luck on your journey to joy! ALWAYS REMEMBER AND NEVER FORGET THAT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON AND YOU HAVE A PLACE IN THIS WORLD AND DON'T EVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE.

There are people who are just plain mean spirited. They tend to be jealous of kind hearted, friendly, and/or happy people. Stay away from them as much as possible.
There are people who take pleasure in hurting other people's feelings even only by making comments such as "You look awful today". Just because you are kindhearted and loving doesn't necessarily mean that everyone around you is too.Learn to tell the difference between those two kinds of people and don't treat everyone as your friend. When they hurt you eventually, you will be disappointed because you expected otherwise,and that can ruin your emotional state. Stay away from those people, and ALWAYS ANSWER BACK at such comments. You might end up arguing with them or even breaking up a long term friendship, but it will save you from future depression when you simply swallow everything without saying a word.

Are you unhappy because others label you, leave you out, or put you down? You are made of stronger stuff. You can be happy with whatever life brings you.

Realize that many of the people who pick on you are jealous or feel inferior. What sort of a person would go around trying to pick on every little flaw, just to make you feel bad? Don't let it get you down. Don't retaliate. Just smile, take a calming breath, and walk away. Think about the idea of karma. What goes around, comes around. Someone might be mean to you, but the bad feeling will find it's way back to them. Keep your own karma in good shape by being kind to others! Write. Then write some more. Write any worries or negative feelings on a slip of paper, then tear it up and throw it away. You'll feel relieved, and as if you really have thrown your worries in the bin. Labels are for losers. Hang around with everyone. Try not to give anyone or any group a label. Pretty soon you will realize that labels just give a preconceived notion about someone...not tell you anything about who they really are. Take care of yourself. Eat and drink what's best for your body. Drink plenty of water and stay away from soda. Eat at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables a day, and get a good nights sleep. Wash regularly and take pride in yourself. You should know that happiness is the way to make a lot of friends if you'll become happy you'll be successful in life.

Be careful about how you talk to yourself. Remind yourself that you are an amazing person. Enjoy your own company. Do things in your spare time that make you happy. If you like being with yourself, chances are others will too.Worrying can't make the matter better. Write out your worries then let them go.
