Here is why you need to be cautious with the habit of being over-polite:
If you do not use the right set of words and pass a critical/ negative message in an honest way, there are chances that the other person has not even understood his/ her fault or mistake. Hence, the person at fault will continue to make the same mistake again and again.
So don't be over-polite use the right set of words when required. You don't have to be rude. But just be honest.
Also, if you are over-polite there are chances that it will backfire. The other person may misinterpret your politeness as your weakness. This may lead to further problems.
For example:
At work: Your juniors will ...
- Misinterpret your over-polite behavior as your weakness.
- You will be taken for a ride. You will not be a successful boss.
- You will not be counted and people will skip level and talk to your boss instead.
At home: Your folks will...
- Not give enough importance to your advise.
- Obviously take you for granted on almost all occasions(as if you don't exist).
- You will end up "trying" to make everyone happy and in-turn get "nothing".
Be cautious, avoid being over-polite.
