Stop having so many feelings that it takes an essay to communicate without hurt.

Edit: oh sorry I could not afford the empathy I've not received. But my point stands, if the only comfort is fluff in language it's merely a false veil covering for a wolves' game.

I would say that manners and social etiquette are more about being considerate of others' comfort rather than communicating something to them. Things like holding the door for a stranger, saying "thank you," offering guests food and drink when they come to your home, are all considered good manners.

Some people know the truth, just doesn't want to bother doing what is considered socially accepted, they're comfortable being who they are. Maturity is about self preservation, and if you had your feelings hurted because of someone else behaviour maybe the problem is on you and transferring this to another person instead of fix yourself is easier.
