Intentionally trying to "not offend" unnecessarily. The word ordering is important. This is different from "trying not to offend" since while the former puts effort into ensuring that no offense occurs unless necessary, the latter views accidental offenses as "natural" and allowable. This is a prescriptive definition.
People don't show each other respect like they used to. They've become too self-centered, expecting to receive respect before giving it.
