How To Be More Popular
Although it seems elusive and mysterious, being popular is
actually a lot easier than you think. The most popular and sociable people you
know don’t have any hidden secrets or keys to their likeability, they just
possess certain qualities that people are drawn to. Even if you don’t naturally
have those qualities they can easily be learned. Here are some easy ways to
instantly be more popular:
1. Talk
to people everywhere. Make every situation a social one, even walking
the dog or shopping. Chat to the sales clerk, the person in line behind you,
the person next to you in the waiting room, the receptionist at your
appointment, and so on. Get talking and socializing everywhere you go. It will
become easier and easier to strike up a conversation with anyone and you’ll be
seen as friendly, approachable and interesting.
2. Don’t
gossip. Popular people are people who are well liked by others. How
do you become so likeable? By not gossiping. If other people constantly see or
hear you gossiping about others behind their back you’ll come across as
two-faced and untrustworthy. Instead, try to always have something nice to say
about other people instead and others will be more relaxed around you and see
you as being more genuine and friendly.
3. Have
friends in a variety of groups. Don’t just hang out with one
group of friends or you’ll seem closed-off and too exclusive to others that are
outside that group. Instead, try to make friends from all different walks of
life and in a variety of groups. Have school friends, work friends, friends
from your sports teams, and so on, and then make an effort to mix those groups
in social settings. You’ll bring lots of people together and you’ll be seen as
someone fun who always adds variety and interest by bringing along new people.
4. Smile. This
is so simple and it makes a huge difference. When you look serious or moody no
one will want to approach you. If you smile and look friendly and approachable
people will be way more drawn to you, feel at ease and want to be friends with
you. If you look like you’re always having fun people will automatically
associate you with being upbeat and positive – someone that they want to be
around.
5. Show
an interest. People will be flattered if you show an
interest in them and what they are doing. Ask details about something they’re
talking about and show an interest in what they’re saying. There are so many
impersonal interactions in our lives that it can be really meaningful when
someone stops and shows that they care. People will remember this quality in you
and seek you out as someone they want to spend more time with.
6. Don’t
wait around. Spend more time socializing by initiating
hanging out rather than waiting around for other people to invite you along or
make the first move. Go ahead and suggest getting together and then follow
through to make it happen. Suddenly you’ll find yourself with way more friends
if you start actually taking the steps to hang out with people.
