6 Ways to make People Like You

1. Become genuinely interested in other people.

2. Smile.
A simple way to make a good impression. The expression one wears on one's face if far more important than the clothes one wears on one's back.
Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, " I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you." You must have a good time meeting people if you expect them to have a good time meeting you. You don't feel like smiling? Then what?
Two things. First, force yourself to smile. If you are alone, force yourself to whistle or hum a tune or sing. Act as if you were already happy, and that will tend to make you happy.

"Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not." -William James.

Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions. It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.
Your smile is a messenger of your good will. Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it. To someone who has seen a dozen people frown, scowl or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds.

3. Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
If you don't do this, you are headed for trouble.Remember that name and call it easily, and you have paid a subtle and very effective compliment. But forget it or misspell it-and you have place yourself at a sharp disadvantage. Use the person's name several times in the conversation; try to associate it in your mind with the person's features, expression and general appearance.

4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
An easy way to become a good conversationalist. Listen intently; listen because you are genuinely interested. That kind of listening is one of the highest compliments we can pay anyone. Be more eager to hear what a person has to say then even they are to tell it. Many people prefer good listeners to good talkers, but the ability to listen seems rarer than almost any other good trait. All we want when we are in trouble is a friendly, sympathetic listener to unburden yourself.nts.

5.Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
The royal road to a person's heart is to talk about the things he or she treasures most. Make an effort to find out what interests the person then get them talking about it. Talking in terms of the other person's interests pays off for both parties.

6. Make the other person feel important-and do it sincerely.
You want a feeling that your are important in our little world. You don't want to listen to cheap, insincere flattery, but you do crave sincere appreciation. So let's obey the Golden Rule, and give unto others what we would have others give unto us. How? When? Where? The answer is all the time, everywhere. Use little phrases such as "I'm sorry to trouble you, ___." "Would you please ___?" "Won't you please?" "Would you mind?" "Thank you." The unvarnished truth is that almost all the people you meet feel themselves superior to you in some way, and a sure way to their hearts is to let them realize in some subtle way that you recognize their importance, and recognize it sincerely. Talk to people about themselves and they will listen for hours.
