How to get Popular People to like you?

Every one of us wants to be liked by people in general. Without any extra efforts, you can get people to like you.

#1. Keep A Smile

This is the first and the easiest way to get people to like you in the first place. People love to be around those who have positive energy and infectious smile which will make them believe you are a fun person to be with. People like being around people who are happy mostly because just being with them makes everybody feel good. So smiling is the first gesture of letting people know that they should be around you. But do not fake a smile. Put a genuine little curve on your lips, and that would do the job for you.

#2. Use Eye Contact

Making an eye contact while talking to someone is a great way of showing that you are a confident person. Also if they are telling you something, eye contact makes them feel heard. Make sure you do not overdo, or it seems like staring which you do not want. Just the right level of looking into their eyes to let them know you are there for them.

#3. Give Compliments

People love getting praised for their efforts. So if you are trying to befriend a colleague who just gave a speech, let them know which parts of their speech you liked. You will create a bond there, and that person will start liking you too. Also, most people will judge your character on what you say about people. If you use kind words to describe others, people will consider you a nice person. If you talk bad things, people will most likely consider you as a bad person to spend time with. So choose your words wisely when you are in the company of others.

#4. Mirror Positions

If you are meeting someone for the first time and you are not able to decide the position of standing or sitting, you will be better off copying the position the other person is in. It is said that people with similar sitting or standing postures have similar thoughts. So getting in the same posture will be an attempt to make them feel that you are like them. After that, it will be more likely for them to start liking you. This is a very simple and good method to get in the good books of someone.

#5. Spend More Alone Time

You should try spending more time with people you are hoping to befriend. Get to know what they like and dislike. Also, share your interests and soon enough you will find some common likes. According to the ‘mere-exposure effect,’ people tend to like others who are familiar with them. Be genuinely interested when they are sharing something personal. At times, people just like to have ears for their emotions they are pouring.
