No one is an island and it is everyone's desire to be liked and admired by many. As humans, we're naturally social as a species and it is reflected in our cultures, technology, entertainment even business. Being likeable is so important and may even look easy but you wonder why it seems so hard to get people to like you. I have come up with Four(4) easy and amazing steps that will help you attract people like a magnet!
STEP 1: Become really interested in other people.
This is without saying. You can't expect to be liked by people if you're not interested in them, genuinely. Ask about the interests and petty plans of your colleagues you don't talk with a lot or of that new person you just met. This loosens the relationship, makes it less formal and more humane.
STEP 2: Smile
You're walking down the street? Smile. You're driving? Smile. You're having a conversation? Smile. My point is, make smiling a habit. Not only does it put you in a good mood, it also makes you more attractive and likeable. People naturally want to spend more time with anyone who gives off that vibe of happiness and positivity!
(PS: Those are my friends. The smile is contagious. Lol)
STEP 3: Always remember to use a person's name.
It is always nice to call people by their name. It's probably the sweetest thing they'd love to hear. When you pick up the phone to make a call, remember to follow your greeting with the person's name. It'll let people open up more to you and also like you a lot.
STEP 4: Be a great listener
How many times have we heard this? It might as well just be the number one key to getting people to like you. People want to know you're paying attention to what they say and being a great listener guarantees you get to understand people more. And the more you understand people, the easier it is to fit into their story and personal life making them like you even more!
