Many people, especially junior high students, feel the need (and the inability) to be liked. What they may not know is that there are simple things you can do to become a more liked and likable person. Here are a few things you can do to bring out the best qualities in yourself and inevitably make others like you more.
- Ask questions
- People will be more likely to approach you if they know you’ll be engaged in what they’re saying. Asking questions is a great and easy way to show that you’re listening and interested in the conversation.
- Put away your phone
- No one wants to talk to someone who’s having another conversation with someone they can’t see. Put your phone down and have face to face conversations. This will show people that you’re open to talk to them. If you put all of your energy into a conversation, you’ll enjoy it more as well.
- Be genuine
- This one’s pretty self explanatory. No one likes a faker. Also, people will gravitate towards you if they feel like you are someone they can trust to be real.
- Don’t be judgmental
- Be open minded. People won’t want to start conversations with you if they know you’ll shoot their ideas down before they even get them out of their mouths.
- Don’t seek attention
- People will avoid you if you’re an attention seeker. People want real friends, not someone who is focused on how many friends (or followers) they have.
- Be consistent
- People are more likely to approach you if they know who they’re dealing with and can have an idea of what response to expect.
- Be comfortable in your own skin
- If you concentrate on your good qualities, others will too. : )
