How to Get People to Like You
by If you usually end up hiding in the kitchen at parties because you feel shy or are worried about whether people are going to like you or not, here are some tips about how to be sure that they will like you a lot.
The best way to get other people to like you is to stop being concerned about yourself, and to concentrate instead on others as individuals. Once you cease worrying about how you come across to them, you are left free to make them feel good, and when this happens they will like you.
A great way to boost another persons ego, although hopefully in a genuine way, is to listen carefully to what they have to say and to ask them questions about themselves. When you do this the other person will feel appreciated and delighted that you seem to like them.
When asking question try not to sound demanding of an answer. Instead, take a gentle approach and think of ways to get them to open up. When they reveal more about themselves they will start to feel a connection with you and will be happy that you are showing an interest in them.
When you do this stick to having conversations in this way with people that you really do want to get to know, as this will come across. There is also no point in seeming to make a connection or friendship with someone who you just wouldn’t want to converse with again on another occasion.
If you are ever feeling shy then remind yourself that others have a need to be liked just as much as you do. When they first meet you they are probably thinking about what you think of them, rather than the other way around.
Once you relax the conversation will begin to flow and will soon turn into a two way one, where the other person begins to ask you about yourself in return. This is how friendships are built and networking successfully takes place.
