They’re not afraid to lose

© The CW

Charming people don’t try to win at everything. On the contrary, their aim is to give more without expecting anything in return. For them, it’s not difficult to admit their mistakes, failures, or talk about their weaknesses. And it’s something that not everyone can do.

When you’re ready to demonstrate your weaknesses and you’re not afraid to look silly, people don’t laugh at you. They laugh with you. Because everybody understands that all of this is fine.

They’re good at asking questions

Charming people can very easily make you talk about yourself. They don’t hesitate to ask questions and openly talk about themselves as well. These people genuinely want to know what you’re thinking, and this makes them trustworthy.

As soon as you’ve found out something about a particular person, just ask them more questions about it and tell something similar about yourself. This will show you have something in common that can become an interesting topic for conversation.

They always remember names

© taylorswift

Charismatic people always remember names and other little things very accurately. The fact that someone says your name when you have only known each other for a short while or when you have only met once makes you feel more important in the conversation.

Call the person by name, and remember the names of his friends, relatives, or a pet. This person will only think positively of you.

They listen more and talk

In Lindquist 114).…

    Expectations. It spans from the first impression and someone creates who they think you are in their mind. After that, it’s up to you to prove to that person that they are right or wrong about the person they met. It is impossible to know who a person is just on meeting them the first time so most likely the original expectations are incorrect. People will surprise you with who they are so we should focus more on getting to know what’s on the inside rather than what is presented on the surface.…

    This Interview is the product of what my professor thought would be a good idea for the class to get to know one another: ice breakers. Although I understand the reasoning behind them and appreciate the efforts of my professor, I still think ice breakers are quite awkward. Growing up I was always told "things don't have to be awkward if you don't make them so", and to this statement I say, "Honey, I was born awkward." I find that if I let my encounters and conversations with people happen organically, then it feels like I can establish a genuine connection versus forcing conversation in an effort to fill up silence or "break the ice"; I prefer to let it melt.…

    The way others see you is incredibly important because it determines how successful you will be in your life. If others see you as unapproachable, negative or even depressed, your chance of acquiring a job or making friends is lower than someone’s chance, who is positive, joyful, or satisfied. Other’s perception of you is also critical when it comes to first impressions. Although first impressions are often incorrect, they are often what people remember you by. So when the time comes for an incredibly important job interview, and you radiate the wrong, first impression, your chance of the employer telling you that they would like to hire you is slim.…

    When people ask me to describe myself, I always draw a blank, I never know what to say, I’m caught off guard because I don’t really love talking about myself too often because I am someone who likes to listen rather than to talk.
