Some words in a language become weird and sometimes empty values are far from the original.It happened with the word "appropriate".This concept was "pustovat."That is acquired too broad, which is used without reference to the particular situation.

Initially adequacy - it's just a match.Normal is correct.Nothing special.And when they said "appropriate person", I had in mind a social acceptability of his behavior.That is, compliance with certain standards, not an arbitrary value judgment.
As expected
And the word became blurred.Applying its antonym - offensive.When a person is given a description of the parameter "value", it means that the estimated predictability.And predictability stems from the same correctness, mentioned just above.That is the behavior of probation "adequate" person on the basis of clear rules.
formally and essentially
But if you think about what kind of rules are evaluated in the evaluation of the adequacy, the situation is unclear.There are rules of etiquette, but they are applicable only in a formal sense.In practice, the art of interacting with people requires skill and emotional sensitivity and flexibility.And do not follow the formal etiquette.
plagued by vague doubts?
sometimes on the forums can be found cry from the heart: "I doubt its adequacy."Most often, the sufferer is not sure of his mental health.Or just have a little experience in a certain field and finds himself unable to understand a particular situation related to relationships with people.What can you advise?Calm down, but if there is a voice or thoughts of grandeur, the insignificance of self - to go to a psychiatrist.In all other cases, enough to turn to a psychologist.Often the person is unable to look at ourselves, and therefore feel their behavior is wrong.

So adequacy - a very general concept of a person's ability to respond predictably, creating a minimum of problems to others.Etiquette has grown out of the need not to cause discomfort to people who are around.He can not provide absolutely all variants of events.So if you feel insecure in communication, to learn the etiquette is, but will have to ... and communicate as much as possible.But not enough to just talk - you need to carefully approach the issue, draw conclusions, noticing differences.Even emotionally very sensitive person can master communication by intelligence.Just think, analyze, collate - and succeed.
Refrain!
If you are a manager or person in charge, as a linguist, I would recommend not to use this word even in conversations with people who often use it themselves.It is too imprecise and gives a bad taste was using language.If you want to say raised - say it predictable - too great a word, reliable - in Russian and clear.Do not scoff at the language and do not show worse than it actually is.
