Secret of being likable

When I was young I thought the secret to popularity was to be as impressive as possible so people would want to talk to me. Instead they thought I was arrogant. Then I examined what made me want to befriend someone, and I learned that I'd had it all backwards. The real secret to popularity is not to be impressive, but to be impressed. I spend an entire conversation asking questions, saying "wow" and "that's so interesting" and "you know so much about this do you mind telling me more?" I don't even need to say a word about myself; it's so much less work. Now people call me "down-to-earth", they all want to be my friend, even if the only thing they know about me is that I make them feel validated. Everybody - from ages 1 to 100 - wants to be impressive. So let them be, and they will gravitate towards you.

Very nice

Sometimes when you down to earth with people, they tend to use and abuse you too because you seem vulnerable...

Absolutely true Nico.

For as long as you are true to yourself, and other people, you will be likeable. People will always know where they stand with you, and not wonder what falsehoods may lurking inside you
