Strategies For Getting People To Like You

Try To Avoid Disagreements

Humans do not like to hear when someone disagrees with them. It instantly puts them in a defensive mode where it is easy to start a fight. Science studies shows that this kind of reaction results from a trigger that shutdown the logical side of the brain, therefore it is hard for someone to get another person to like them when they have triggered a confront. The best way to avoid it, is to not point out when someone is incorrect unless it is absolutely necessary. If they must disagree, it is better to be careful on how they do it. The best approach is to point out how interesting is the perspective from which that person sees the subject in question and ask how did they come to that conclusion.

Ask for Their Opinion

The best w

ay to influence people is to value their advice. A study shows that seeking advice in the workplace is the best way to gain respect as it suggests that the person whose opinion is being asked is valued. By showing confidence in someone else's advice, one makes them feel important about themselves, which results on them appreciating the individual who made them feel that way. Another angle where this can be looked from, is the trust side. A person appears vulnerable when they confide a secret or a problem in someone else, which makes them appear less threatening and more like a friend who relies on them.
