How to become Likeable

I can hear some of you now - how can I become likeable? Shouldn’t people like me for who I am? Sure, they should. Soemtimes, however, we can have habits that drive people away. Ones that we should try to change. If you’re having trouble with coworkers, other moms at the park, or other gals at the gym, look at this list of 21 Keys to Magnetic Likability from “Mark and Angel Hack Life” and see if you need a little fine tuning.

Be Attentive to Others and Never Stop Listening – Self-centered people are usually unlikable. When you’re involved in a conversation, it’s important to focus more on the other person and less on yourself. If you genuinely concern yourself with others and listen to them closely, you’ll make scores of friends with little effort. Remember, everybody loves a good listener.
Compliment People Who Deserve It – Go out of your way to personally acknowledge and complement the people who have gone out of their way to shine. Everybody likes to hear that their efforts are appreciated.
Make Yourself Available and Approachable – If people cannot get a hold of you, or have trouble approaching you, they will forget about you. Your general availability and accessibility to others is extremely important to them. Always maintain a positive, tolerant attitude and keep an open line of communication to those around you.
