When life feels chaotic, who cares about forks and elbows? Apparently, a lot of people do – and maybe for good reason. William Hanson, a TikTok-famous etiquette coach, is seeing a surge in demand as many – especially younger adults – navigate a post-pandemic world with fewer social reference points and face-to-face practice.

A recent 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 article highlights Hanson’s work and why it matters. It’s not really about which fork to use. It’s about calming chaos through small acts of civility. In a world where disconnection often fuels tension, things like saying “thank you,” keeping your elbows off the table, and making eye contact quietly signal: 𝑰 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 

That’s where real connection begins. 

Key Question: What everyday habits do you use to show others they matter—even in the middle of a hectic day?
