Easy Ways To Get People To Like You

Whether or not we choose to admit it, we all want to be liked. It is no news that it can be frustrating if you can't get a single person to like you. Imagine living life without a few people to talk with or hang out with. Imagine being by yourself for the rest of your life - no talks, no friends, no fun. Boring right? So you've been battling with not being liked, or maybe people already like you, but you want to be more intentional about getting people to like you. Here are a few tips to get people to like you:


  • Smile.  One easy way to get people to like you, is to smile often. Have you noticed that kids that smile have more adults that carry and play with them? When you smile, you spread warmth, and you make people comfortable with you. Smiling shows people that they're welcomed and you wouldn't mind their company. So next time you go friend hunting, be sure to wear a smile.

  • Be Approachable. It's easy to get people to like you if you're easy to approach. By easy to approach, I mean easy to talk to. You can't be all hard on people and expect people to like you. So an easy way to deal with this is to be calm and friendly.

  • Show Interest. If you forget any rule in life, then do not ever forget this one: people are interested in themselves. An easy way to get people to like you, is to be interested in them. In getting people to like you, more important than being interested in people, is showing your interest. How then do you show your interest? Have conversations with them and make sure the talk stays on them, ask what they're interested in and talk about what they're interested in. If you don't know about what they're interested in, seek to know more - this way you make them talk more about themselves and their interest, and believe me, people love that.
  • Be Yourself. You don't have to be someone else to get people to like you. There's no particular way you need to act, and there's no particular thing you need to do to get people to like you. All you need to do to get people to like you, is to be yourself, and the right people will like you for you.
  • Love yourself the way you are. Baby, you have to love yourself the way you are if you want people to like you. How on earth do you expect people to like you when you don't even like yourself? In your quest for people's love and attention, remember, you are your first love. You have to love yourself first. Be happy with yourself, and you'll find that people will love you for you
  • Be kind. People naturally like those that are kind to them. We naturally like people that help us, people that show affection and benevolence. So if you want to get people to like you, then you have to be kind to people.


  • Ask questions. People have the desire to share what they know, so a good way to get people to like you, is to ask questions. People are more than happy to be the one to give the answers, so ask questions.


  • Listen. The world has more talkers than listeners, so a good way to get people to like you, is to be there to listen. This helps people feel that you're really interested in them. And when I say listen, I don't mean pretend to listen, I mean really listen.


  • Talk more. Now I don't mean talk too much. Effective communication doesn't just involve listening, it involves talking. You don't want to leave people guessing what's on your mind right? So say it. This helps them understand you more, making it easier to like you.
  • Compliment them.  We all like to be complimented, don't we? So an easy way to get people to like you is to compliment them. Tell them their shoe or dress is nice. Tell them they presented really well. Just compliment them, and you'll win them.

What Friendship Is

"It's just me, myself and I". This was my status on one of my social media accounts some years back. This saying also played a great role in my life. I was a lone wolf. I didn't have friends and I didn't want friends. I thought I was complete all by myself. I thought I didn't need the company of others. I didn't understand the importance and sweetness of friendship until I got a taste of it. Friendship I realised was the basis of any good relationship. We're course mates and we have a group work together? I realised that it was easier to work on group projects with friends. And that working on group projects became easier and more fun, when my course mates became my friends. Friendship I've realised goes beyond words. Friendship is love. Friendship is patience. Friendship is arguments, it is small fights and it is forgiveness. Friendship is company. Friendship is food when there's famine. Friendship is hope in moments of despair. Friendshi...

How Inspiration Comes

It comes in form of a rush. I mean my inspiration. Just a moment ago, it wasn't here and now its here. One thing I'm sure of - if I don't put this down right now, it'll be gone and I wouldn't have it back. If by chance I get it back, it wouldn't be the way it came now. Inspiration's weird right? But what can we do? Have I mentioned already that its inspiration to write that I refer to in this post? I like to sleep with a pen and paper on my bed, because right when I close my eyes to sleep, that's when the words come to me. Now I have two options. I either close my eyes and dream, or I pick up my pen and paper to pour down ink. The end result of the first is a good sleep. While the end result of the second, is what you now read. Well then, this doesn't mean that when I drop my pen, I wouldn't sleep. I still will. But inspiration comes from several other things. Inspiration could come from how the clock ticks. It could come from how your...

Passion

Passion in simple words is 'Driving Force'. Passion in dictionary words is "any great, powerful, emotion especially love or hate". You still not sure what passion means? Passion is strong interest in someone or something. Passion is an immense emotion that gives you strong zeal and enthusiasm. Passion is motivation. Passion is what puts you to work. What Does It Mean To Have Passion? To have passion means to have strong enthusiasm, to have extreme excitement, to have great and immense zeal for someone or something. When you have passion for someone, then you're immensely attracted to that person. You feel a certain kind of excitement. You feel deep love or strong interest for that person. When you are passionate about something, then there's no limit to attaining that thing. For passion is that fire in your belly. Passion has no restriction, it knows no boundary. Passion makes you sacrifice leisure and pleasures. Passion keeps the fire in you burnin...
