6 Rules to Make People Like You

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people.
     To be interested in other people is to ask about them, try to be their friends. When you talk to people and they could see that you are really alert when you talk to them and you pay really good attention, people will like you as a person. An example of this could be when you are in class and the teacher is talking, if you focus all of your attention towards them and make eye contact, they will see that you are only focused on them making you seem like a great student as you give all your attention to them.

Rule 2: Smile
     Smiling can make a person seem more friendly which is a good way to make people like you. Smiling also can give off a caring feeling towards others. an example of this can be in a picture. When you have a photo taken of yourself and you smile it makes you look like a good person which is whom people want to associate themselves with.


Rule 3: Remember Names
     Remembering people's name is a good way to let them know that you actually care and aren't wasting anyone's time. An example could be if you are in college and the professors could remember your name. Professors in college have hundreds of students and if the professor is able to remember your name, it will make you feel special. Another reason why remembering people's name will make you a more likable person is because it makes you seem responsible. When you are applying for a job and you can't remember your employer's name or your bosses/co-workers, you will appear careless which could get you fired.


Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
     Good listening is a great skill to develop when you are trying to make people like you. When you are a good listener and encourage people to talk about themselves people really start to get to like you because a good listener makes people feel like they are getting their point out. people tend to like to talk about themselves so when you encourage it, they will feel like you really care and they will really admire that about you. An example of this can be when you are in a relationship. Some couples tend to fight because they don't feel like they are being listened to. 

"Be a good listener... it makes the person who's speaking to you feel loved, cared for and worthy of being heard."

-Wayne Dyer   

 Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest. 

      When you want to try and make friends, it is a good idea if you talk about a topic that you know the person you are talking to is into. For example, if you are talking to someone who is into a certain game, you could talk to them about that game which would make them happy because that is a topic they enjoy talking about. This is a great way to make a person like you because if they are to see you again, they will be reminded that they have the same interest as you because that one time you talked about their favorite topic. This is a great strategy to make people like you because you two would just be talking that catches both of your attention. 

Rule 6: Make other people feel important--and do it sincerely. 
     When you want to make people like you, you should always make people feel important because it let them know that you are a caring person and that is a great trait to make a person likeable. An example of this rule can be when you are trying to make new friends. When you talk to a person making them sound greater than you in a sincerer way, they will like you for making them sound like a great person. When a person talks about you like if you are a important person you will enjoy their presents due to it.
