7 Tips for Being a More Likeable Person
1. Treat other people with understanding and respect – and usually you will find they do the same for you, too. But even if they don’t, you’ll leave a positive impression, and others will notice you’re a quality person.
2. Be courteous and polite – it doesn’t take much extra effort. But your “pleases” and your “thank yous” will help to open doors for you.
3. Be warm and pleasant, smile and spread some joy around. Choose to be more optimistic, laugh, and share some happiness.
4. Try to work well with others when you’re part of a team. No-one likes a headstrong person who just wants things done their way. Pull your weight, co-operate, and share the credit with the team.
5. Apologize when you need to – as we all make some mistakes. And you’ll find that others like those who admit when they are wrong.
6. Compliment other people in a real and genuine way. We all have things that we are proud of. Praise the good – don’t criticize.
7. Listen well and show an interest in what others have to say. It sends the message “you’re important”, builds a bridge, and shows you care.
