Friendly people are always welcome. There is the wrongful belief that friendly people are a given gift you are born with. Therefore, if you don’t have it, it cannot be learned. It has been related to how people look, and special gifts.

Talented and handsome people are not the only ones who can be pleasant. You don’t have to go through a chirurgical change to change your personality for a more charming one. To spell out this misconception, let me tell you that a pleasant person is related to honesty, clearness, and the capacity of being empathetic.

Social skills are highly enhanced when a person increases these simple features. To do so, I have carefully selected 6 ways to become a pleasant person, as a guide to improve your social attractiveness.

1. Set apart your Cell phone

When you are talking live to a person, engage in the conversation. Set apart your cell phone to pay attention to what the other person has to say. There is no better way to reject people than that of finding the other person more interested on their chats over the phone than a real conversation with you.

You will find that when you focus on a conversation, you are enjoying it more. The attention and joy you feel will be contagious, and the other person will find you more appealing, just for getting your full attention.

2. Give Feedback during Conversations

When you are engaged in a conversation, it is nice for the other side to know that they listen. You don-t have to start an argument, just nod and ask questions frequently. That way, the other people will find you more attractive.

3. Don’t Judge other People

When you tend to judge other people, you create a barrier that prevents them from coming close to you. That is only unattractive. To eliminate this obstacle, just stop judging other people.

You will find how others feel a safer environment when they are around you. That way you will also get bonus points on the popularity charts, making you a pleasant person on others eyes.

4. Greet others by Name with an open Smile

To greet others by name with an open smile is a killing combination. You will address 2 of the most triggering behaviors when you do this. When you say somebody’s name, it is a reaffirmation on their individuality. In other words, you are making them feel good, and that is truly appreciated.

On the other hand, a simple smile will trigger a smile on the other person. Smiling feels good, and you will just be adding points to the other person’s feelings. A pleasant person is qualified according to their skills to make other’s feel good. To smile and address them by name is something few people can resist.

5. Be Constant and Stable

There is not a worse thing than to approach a person with an unpredictable personality. You never know what to expect. When he is happy, then it is a pleasant company, but if he is angry or mad, then you’d better stay away.

You have to be constant and stable. Other people are not responsible for your mood, and you should treat them equal, no matter what are you going through. That will boost your popularity on the charts.

6. Watch for your Body Language

An affirmative body language is an attractive feature. But what is an affirmative body language? It is quite simple. Just keep eye contact, use a positive tone in conversations, never cross your arms and lean towards the other person. You will be much more appealing.
