These simple ways can increase your popularity(受欢迎度) and win you more friends, so why not try them?

● FOCUSING ON OTHERS   This will reduce any shyness you may have. You’ll be more relaxed and therefore more natural and fun. And you will get more good---people will love the fact that you’re paying attention to them while you don’t have to worry about what people think of you.

● LOOKING PEOPLE IN THE EYE   Making eye contact is very important because it shows you’re interested in them. If you let your eyes wander(游移) or keep looking over their shoulder, people will feel slighted, and they’ll like you less they would otherwise.

● ASKING QUESTIONS   Doing this gives you two advantages. It shows other people that you are indeed paying attention and that you consider what they are telling you important. Being sure to follow up when you’ve shared a conversation with someone about something important in his/her life, be sure to ask about it later. This shows that you listen and you care.

● MAKING AN EFFORT TO SMILE   A smile means acceptance, and that makes people open up to you. Make a conscious(有意识的) effort(努力) one day to smile at the people you stay or work with and watch how well they respond to you.

● BEING RELIABLE   People appreciate those who help them, and they quickly begin to hate those who don’t.
