How to Get People to Like You

1
Be gregarious, not invisible. People won't notice you're even there if you don't do something noticeable.

2:
Smile. Be cheerful, not depressed. Say hi to people at the grocery store. Chances are people will smile back and say hi and treat you better. Just act like a person who is having a lot of fun. Remember, if you act like you are really happy, you will usually feel happy.

3:
Try not to show emotion, sensitivity, or anger too easily (especially around those you don't know well). Try to keep a laid back, calm, and happy attitude, even when something doesn't go your way. Others may get turned off if they see you are difficult, neurotic, insecure or overemotional. People who keep their emotions under control are also some of the most likable. That doesn't mean that you should be aloof or cold to the emotional needs of others, but that you should be sympathetic in a calm and gentle manner. As mentioned in Step 2, others want to see a person who is happy and stable. Always have a good sense of humor as well.

4:
Practice basic rules of hygiene. No one will want to be around someone who stinks and doesn't brush their teeth. So, take regular showers or baths, wash your hair, shave if you need to, brush and floss your teeth, comb your hair, use breath mints or minty gum, clip/clean your nails, use deodorant, change clothes, clean your hands, etc.

5:
Ask people about themselves. Be interested in them. Listen and look interested in what they have to say, even if you are not. If you are in a conversation and hear yourself saying " I did this, I did that", stop yourself and ask the other person's opinion.

6:
Compliment people. Tell the other person something you admire about them. "I love how full and bouncy your hair is," is a good start. But don't over do it, some people may not know how to take a compliment, may become uncomfortable by compliments, misunderstand it or may take some compliments as an insult. And make sure you mean what you are saying, people know when you have false humility.

7:
Make eye contact. It is kind of unnerving when you are talking to someone and they keep moving their head around. You can't tell if they are listening or not. Whoever you're talking (or listening) to, look at them straight in the eye.

8:
Most people adore their names, so instead of saying "Hi", say "Hi Jonathan, how are you today?" Address people by the names and they will like you.

9:
Talk about what interests the other person. If you know a football fanatic, ask "Play any Football games lately?" This will usually get them and they love to talk on and on about it. Even if it's really boring, look interested and remember to make eye contact.

10:
Don't hurt their feelings. If they ask for you opinion, don't say anything they wont want to hear. You might risk losing them
