Strategies For Getting People To Like You

Let the Body Express the Feelings

Body language is just as important as words. Someone who says positive things should let their bodies tell the same story. Words that do not match someone's body language can appear disconnected, making that person come across as insincere or fake. Eye connect shows that someone's focus is entirely on the other person, but without a smile it can appear threatening. Open hands and open arms - as in no crossed arms - shows that this person is open to what others have to say. A smile can be soothing and display trust. One must not forget to have their body angled toward the person who they are talking to, as showing their back would suggest that they are closed off.

Do Not Give Order

Asking a question can be a friendly way to give an order. Instead of bossing others around - even if a person is in the position to do so - they can gain more respect if they ask a question instead. Studies show that it has the same response as giving an order, but without giving a dominant feeling. In a work environment, instead of informing a co-worker that something should be done at a specific time, asking them if they think they could have it done by that time and informing them about how helpful it would be will make the situation a lot lighter, and the co-worker will not feel like he is being used for a task.
