It is a fact that most people want to be liked. Some people succeed in doing so, and others try to make a good impression, but get the opposite results.
People wish to look charismatic and become popular. It doesn’t always work out, due to low self-esteem and lack of confidence, or being too aggressive and lacking tact.
Being charismatic and easily liked are important in job interviews, in sales, dealing with people or in friendships and relationships.
Here are a few simple tips that can help you more charismatic and popular:
Posture
Pay attention to the way you carry your body. Don’t stoop, shuffle or look listless. Keep your back straight when you walk and when you sit, but don’t overdo it, otherwise it will look artificial.
Eye contact
Don’t be afraid of eye contact when talking, but don’t overdo it, as this might be interrupted as rudeness.
Talking
Don’t talk too fast or too slow. Speak to the point.
Keep your voice quiet, but clear. Apart from having a relaxing influence on the people you are talking with, they will have to pay more attention to what you are saying.
Even if you don’t agree with what someone says, don’t retort in anger. Stay calm, patient and tolerant, and people will respect you more.
