How to present yourself in general.
To know how to introduce yourself to others there are many ways you can rely on them and we will learn the most important ones and those methods will help you to get others the best impression about you.
● Greetings: Of course before anything you need to pay tribute to the other party until you begin to open channels of communication between you and the other party. This step shows the reaction of the other party and can determine whether he accepts or refuses to talk to you.
● Eye Looks: This step reveals to you what the other party has to do with the way your eyes look at who you will be able to know in some way, what is going on in the other party's mind. For example, if the other party is loving or admiring you will find that he will avoid looking directly at your eye, but if he does not care about you, you will find that his looks are very sharp. Always be careful to look at the eyes of others when talking with them so that you can evaluate the reaction of their actions and on the basis of which you can determine whether they are receptive to complete the conversation with you or not.
● Smile: One of the most important steps that we must do when introducing ourselves to others because it is one of the best means of communication between people. Be sure to present yourself to others to show your smile always the uniqueness of the act of your smile reflected on the other party and make it easy to start talking to him.
● Handshake by hand: One of the most important steps that show the feelings of others, handshake is one of the most important steps that make the other two determine how to deal with us. The handshake of a man is different from that of a man to a woman. The man's handshake to the man should be a bit serious, while the handshake of the woman must be taken into account, with some kindness and respect.
Bending: bending is one of the means of respect used in dealing with others which is very important as it shows how much respect and appreciation of the other party. But bending does not have to be used in all situations, especially since we in Arab countries do not follow him very much in dealing with others. We can use it, for example, in dealing with women or the elderly to show how much we respect and appreciate them.
● Do not be confused in talking: When you talk with others, be careful to act in nature and talked the way you used to talk with all your knowledge and be careful to synthesize the talk with others, because with time others will notice that you speak differently than I knew you and this will make them warn in dealing With you and may also lead to others moving away from you.
Actions to be careful when you talk to others:
● Lying: Beware of lying or beautification in the conversation because this will reduce the confidence of others.
● Not listening: Be careful to listen to other people's talk because not listening to them feel that you reduce your respect for them.
● Laughter: Avoid laughter during the talk, especially if talking in serious matters so as not to lose respect for others, as this makes them do not prefer to complete the conversation with you.
● The boycott of the talk of others: One of the most disturbing acts of many people is their boycott during the talk is also a reduction of respect.
● Objection: There are a lot of people who always object to the talk of others even if it does not require objection and that sample of people find them outcasts of society and find that others avoid talking to them. 6. Emotion: There are many people who are doing the talking to them so they can prove a point of view. These people unfortunately find others do not like to talk to them. So be careful not to talk to others because you will notice that they are looking for anything that makes them not complete conversation with you.
