Strategies For Getting People To Like You

Sometimes, people feel insecure about themselves, unsure about how they are perceived and if others like them. There are many ways a person can assure themselves as a pleasant company and someone others can count on. Although it is rather simple to become a likeable person, lack of confidence may get in the way and make the lines a bit blurry, therefore this list might help to clear things up a bit. It is important to notice that no one can please everyone, but it is important to value those whose opinions matter.

Let Them Talk About Who They Are

People in general like to talk about themselves, so a way to get into their good books is to be a good listener. It may appear self indulgent, but studies show that when someone talks about themselves, their brain is stimulated in the same way as when they talk about food or money. In order to get someone's attention and leave a good impression, one must ask about heir lives, their career, interests, pets and partners, and explore these subjects. However, they must be careful not to push it too much, otherwise they may come across as a nosy person who is too interested in someone else's business.

Do Not Brag

People are constantly trying to out do each other and come across as the better person. When someone shares a fact about themselves, another person will try to make it personal and appear more important. If an individual says "I am planning a trip abroad", the other may add that they have been abroad several times and try to give tips not for the first person's sake, but to show how much they know about the subject that it is being discussed. If someone wants a person to like them, let them have their moment instead of trying to out do in this conversation. They should not make is to themselves, and instead let the other person talk about their experiences.
