How To Make People Like You (Made Easy)

How To Make People Like You (Made Easy)

It is not always easy to make people like you. Sometimes it is hard to even know how to go about it. So, we have compiled a list of some tips and tricks that will help you make people like you.

There are a variety of ways to make people like you. One way is to be interested in them. Ask them about themselves and listen attentively.

Don’t just talk about yourself. Be generous with your compliments. But be genuine, not false, people can pick up on false compliments, it’s built into our DNA (more about that later). Another way to make people like you is to be friendly and upbeat. Smile and make eye contact. Be positive and optimistic, even when things are tough.

Be considerate of others and try to put yourself in their shoes. And finally, don’t be judgmental. People don’t like to be around someone who is always critical. Be accepting of others, even if you don’t agree with them. This is easier said than done, but we have great tips to help you achieve all the things here.

Be Interested.

Be interested

Depending on where you are you can always show interest when engaging with someone one be it in a team meeting or one on one. You can use your body language to show you are interested by holding good eye contact, not too long around 5 – 7 seconds when talking and around 10 seconds when listening (learn more about eye contact here).

The second thing we can do is tilt our heads to the side to show a little more of the ear. This lets the person speaking know that you are interested in what they have to say. (Think of a dog tilting its head when it’s interesting.

Become an active listener – listen with intent and don’t allow your mind to fill up with thoughts and questions. Really listen to understand what the other person is saying to you.

Active listening is the practice of focusing on what other people are saying and trying to understand their perspectives. It’s something that everyone can learn, and it has a number of benefits, but the biggest one is creating a good human connection.

Ask Good Questions.

Ask Good Questions

Asking good questions to show interest is a great way to get people to like you, it shows you are paying attention and asking questions on topics they enjoy.

The best way to ask a good question is to keep it simple, one question at a time, don’t ask two or three questions at once. There is a great book called How to Win Friends and Influence People highly recommend you pick this one up.

Observe.

Broadly speaking, we can use our persecution of people to make a good judgment call to their likes and dislikes. For example, take a look at what they’re wearing, are there any teams they support, and pin badges? If so, these people need to feel like they are accepted and belong.

We can use this to our advantage. If they support a team and we enjoy the same sport its a data point we can use in a conversation.

Another example would be the clothes we wear. If the person is wearing designer clothes, this could signal significance. You now know they need to feel important, they add value and need that reassurance in their lives. Using that in a conversation goes a long way to making people like you.

Yet another example of how you can tell if someone is a family person in an office setting is if they have family pictures. It’s a great way to start a conversation with someone and ask about their family or their dreams of a family.

I think you get the idea. Observe and bring it up in conversation in a subtle way.

Don’t just talk about yourself.

Don’t talk about yourself unless asked and, even then, bring the conversation back around to them.

It’s important to remember this rule. I have a friend who constantly talks about himself and his accomplishments. He spends hours talking about his work. To be frank, it’s boring. I know more about the insurance company than most of their employees. Don’t be that guy; ask good questions to keep the conversation flowing.

Compliments.

Compliments

Be generous with your compliments, but don’t overdo it. This is a big mistake people make when trying to get someone to like them.

Giving a compliment is a great way to build trust, show appreciation and make someone feel good. It’s important to note that compliments should only be given when they’re genuine.

If you don’t actually believe what you are saying, the nonauthenticity will come through in your voice and body language. So before you dish out some more compliments, here are some points to keep in mind.

  • Believe in what you are saying.
  • One or two compliments are all that should be given in any conversation.
  • Use your body language to show the other person your authenticity.

Be Confident And Friendly.

Be confident and friendly when talking, allow others to join the conversation. Confident people have an advantage over all of us, so it’s important to be more confident.

Confidence is a trait that every entrepreneur, salesman and person in a leadership position needs to have. If you truly believe in what you’re doing, then you will have a better chance of convincing others to get on board.

But confidence isn’t just about your ability to convince others. It’s also about being more likeable and getting people to like you more too.

Never put other people down or make them feel stupid.

Put yourself in their shoes. It’s easy to be quick to judge people or make them feel stupid but when you do that, you’re forgetting that they could be going through a rough time and just need someone to talk to.

You never know what they may have been through that made them the person they are now so always keep your judgments and opinions to yourself.

Understand Your Own Body Language

What is body language and how can we use it?

Body language is the study of nonverbal communication and physical behaviour as it relates to human interaction. Body language can be used to help you better understand what someone is saying so that you can respond accordingly. It can also be used to decode your own feelings, and even change the way you feel about a situation or another person.

We can use positive body language in the way we connect with a person or people.

To greet someone always flash your eye borrows this shows the other person on a nonverbal level your recognise them, they won’t even know you’ve done this. (Learn more about the eye borrow flash here)

The second thing to do is to smile. There are a few kinds of smiles the two we are concerned with are the false smile and the true smile called the Duchenne Smile.

A Duchenne smile-one that reaches the eyes, on both sides of the face, bringing crow’s feet with it. This is the smile that most people will recognize as conveying happiness.

A false smile non-Duchenne smile shouldn’t necessarily be considered “fake,” however. A more accurate way of describing them might be “polite.” Check out more on the Duchenne Smile here.

Use open body language gestures to communicate non-threatening behaviour. Use your hands when you talk, flash the palms of your hands, keep them open and honest. Check out this wonderful TedTalk by Mark Bowden on the Truth Plan.
