Six rules to make people like you

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people

people will be more likely to be friends if you actually show that you want to be friends but some people are so good at making friends they don't even realize it. you shouldn't ask people anything personal but ask them things that you know they would like to answer. you can only be someones friend if you truly know them which can take time depending on you.

Rule 2: smile

what you do affects how people see you so you should always be happy because more people go to the person that is happy to be friends with. when you smile everyone else will want to smile and making others happy will give you a better chance at making friends and keeping them.

Rule 3: Remember names

to be someones friend you should take the time to learn their name. I have a hard time remembering names but i always remember my friends names. when you can actually remember their name then you can consider them a friend. it is always better to know everyone's name because it can be offensive if you call them the wrong name.

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

if you want to be friends with someone then you must listen to what they have to say or you wont be a good friend. people usually care more about their own problems but if you just listen to their problem they are more likely to be friends because you are a good listener. when you listen to others problems you make them happy because maybe nobody will listen to them.

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other mans interests 

when you talk about what someone else likes they think you have a common thing in like which makes them more likely to be friends. when they hear what they want to hear they will be more willing to listen to someone else and eventually become friends with them.

Rule 6:  Make the other person feel important-and do it sincerely
everyone wants to feel important so people who you treat important will be more likely to be friends with you. If you don't care about someone then in turn they start to not like you or even the other way around. when you don't do it sincerely they might think you are joking and they will stay away because you don't take things serious.

Reflection

All of these rules can help a lot if you want to make friends and if you don't you can do the opposite of what they say. if you follow these rules you are more likely to meet good friends, but you can still make friends even if you don't follow these rules. being a good friend is important because others see you are and feel that you would be a good friend.
