Strategies For Getting People To Like You

Being Vulnerable

When someone is in a vulnerable situation, they cope with it by connecting with others that find themselves in the same place. People claim to have found it easier to make friends when they were in school, but that is because at that time everyone was in the exact same position. A great way to bond with someone is by getting together to do something scary or out of their comfort zones. Stress inducing experiences my create a stronger connection than a relaxing day out or a merely pleasant dinner.

The Two Questions

A common trick to get someone to feel good about themselves is to ask the two questions. The first one should be a question that the answer is already known. For example, if a person knows that another has been recently promoted or had another positive even taking place, they should be asked about that. After the question is answered, the second ones is just about their lives in general. When someone talks about a positive experience and are soon asked about their general like, they tend to be positive in the way they talk about their life in a while. This makes them feel comfortable around the one who has asked the questions as they associate them with the sensation caused by their questions.
