[quote=Anonymous]I'm unlikeable too, OP, but I have slowly improved on it over time by watching what other people who are likeable do. I made a checklist of what I should do in conversations -- it was nice during COVID because I could sit there with my cheat sheet in most conversations and no one was the wiser. For what it's worth, this is my checklist for what I call "disciplined conversations" (i.e. have the discipline to stick to the checklist): Don't skip the pleasantries Acknowledge everyone and say names Make each person feel human Don't be eager to share or show smarts Spend time on the inconsequential Stand in a position of nonjudgment Be in the moment Respond to and take interest in everything Listen Allow 2 seconds of silence before speaking Be curious and receptive to other's ideas Show vulnerability Give gratifying reactions Gently guide (versus abruptly steer) to your point Describe others positively Ignore the petty Use humor[/quote]
