6 RULES TO MAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU

1. Be genuine or genuinely interested in others

In order to build up friendships you need to get to know one another. When your  not a genuine person its hard for another person to decide to be your friend when they cant even identify your character. Being social is the same thing as being interested in others. When your social your outgoing. To be able to be interested in others means knowing their birthday and their interests which means you first need to ask. No one wants to be friends with a person who care just about themselves. Danielle Laport said, " being genuine is the foundation of integrity often inconvenient not always  painless" meaning that many have a hard time being transparent with others and dont always find it working but its a good base for oneself as a person. Making friends isn't as hard as one can think you just need to know yourself and  be yourself. The importance of knowing yourself is because many people can come and tell you things on why they might not be friends and by knowing yourself it assures you that that person has issues leaving you not unsettled. By being yourself you are confident in who you are so much that your character is formed so strongly no one can make you think otherwise of yourself.

2. Smile

A smile can say a lot just like a look and a gesture can. Smiling can also say a lot about you. Certain gestures can make people view you as open and want to talk to you. When you smile you exude comfort and confidence. Anyone will always want a friend that can change their mood and a smile to someone can make them change their focus on themselves and smile back. Friends are their for each other in good and hard times and for you to be the type to smile can change their mentality and be happy as well making them continue to want to enjoy your company. Serena Williams said, " ive had to learn to fight all my life got to learn to smile that way things will work out ", this quote expresses how a smile through your journey  can change your destination for good. This quote can be used as an example to never let the clouds get in front of your sun. That happiness depends on yourself your decisions. Smiling is nurturing for the soul teaching the heart to walk happily even through rough times. To be able to smile all the time is good for getting good heated friends and being a foundation for your emotions.

3. Remember Names

Memory is very helpful for many reasons academic and even in making friends. When you remember someones name it demonstrates so much. The person is able to see your character and see that you care about them with simply remembering their name its a simple gesture to create a friendship. When you remember someones name they can identify the interest you put in them and how much interest you will put in future conversations. The other person begins to feel valued and respected when they see that you have put effort to remember their name. Not only does it show the person that they have made an impression on you but it makes them want to return the favor. There is a quote that reflects this idea that Im attempting to show it says ," always remember, someones effort is a reflection of their interest in you". This quote represents what another is thinking in the moment you remember their name. Its always a nice feeling when you see small gestures like this in another then it gives you a picture of how your friendship with that person could be.

4. Be a good Listener and encourage others to be open 

In this world there are to many people in love but not the great kind many are in love with themselves. Its always important to listen to those people and be kind. We need to exercise  our patience and learn to be  good listeners. Being a good listener is good  when another needs it or just wants to have another person know about something. You gain friends this way in showing that person respect makes them feel special and worthy, opening up a door for friendship. There are also those who have hard times opening up and talking. Its good to be a listener to those people making them jump over an obstacle of being closed. this will inevitable gain a friend in each other. John Powell said something very eye opening and touching. Powell said "  a good listener truly wants to know the speaker". Once the speaker is able to know that there words are safe when speaking to someone else they are able to take the conversation to new heights.

5. Speak in terms of another mans interest

When you speak to someone about nothing that can interest that person or both of you that person will most likely not want to be friends with you. Interest is what friendships are placed upon. What I always say is that a group of friends are a group of friends for a reason they have to have something in common. For girls its very easy to build a friendship because they can find variety of things in common with each other. Although girls toughest challenge is making that relationship last. Girls are more moved by their emotions in which causes road blocks in friendships and relationships. Men however, are more difficult to build a friendship right away but when they do its genuine and can come to last a lifetime.Even though these types of relationships are rather difficult in all the main goal is finding the interest. Many people are different so when you have something in common you can see a possible future as friends. If that interest is a passion both have its a rather deeper connection you can learn more about that person through that passion. A quote i enjoy that ties the aspects I have come to show is ," The road to a mans heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures the most". In fact this is very true when you can talk to someone else about what you love the most and they wont get bored you will want to talk to them more.  

6. Make another person feel important and do it sincerely

You can show someone you care about them in different ways this being a thoughtful act in demonstrating to them they can be vulnerable with you. Many acts can  open  doors to be able to have a  long lasting friendship. A way to express such is to take action.  One way to do so would be to get that person a thoughtful gift. The reason the word thoughtful is called the way it is because thought means to think and if you give someone a gift you really thought about gives it value. A gift does not have to be expensive nor even what the other person always likes to receive but something you put mind and heart to making. There's a quote that goes "making others feel better about themselves says a lot about you" is the main reason to why we should be kind to one another for the outcome to have friendship. A lot of things take role when making others feel good about themselves its not just a way to make friends but a way to gain a certain idea on who you are as a person. People make friends with the true good hearted and this action provides the other person with reasons of having you as a friend.
