▲ Psychological Ways To Make People Like You ▲

NOTE U CAN'T FORCE PEOPLE TO LIKE YOU, YOU CAN HOWEVER PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FOWARD AND HOPE FOR THE BEST!

》Copy the person you're with

This strategy is called mirroring, and involves subtly mimicking another person's behavior. When talking to someone, try copying their body language, gestures, and facial expressions.
In 1999, New York University researchers documented the "chameleon effect," which occurs when people unconsciously mimic each other's behavior. That mimicry facilitates liking.

》Compliment other people

People will associate the adjectives you use to describe other people with your personality. This phenomenon is called spontaneous trait transference.
One study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that this effect occurred even when people knew certain traits didn't describe the people who had talked about them.

》Don't be complimentary all the time.

The "gain-loss theory" of interpersonal attractiveness suggests that your positive comments will have more of an influence if you deliver them only occasionally.

》Spend more time around the people you're hoping to befriend

According to the mere-exposure effect, people tend to like other people who are familiar to them.

》Reveal your flaws from time to time

According to the pratfall effect, people will like you more after you make a mistake — but only if they believe you are a competent person. Revealing that you aren't perfect makes you more relatable and vulnerable toward the people around you.

》 Be warm and competent

Princeton University psychologists and their colleagues proposed the stereotype content model, which is a theory that people judge others based on their warmth and competence.

》Emphasize shared values

According to a classic study by Theodore Newcomb, people are more attracted to those who are similar to them. This is known as the similarity-attraction effect.

》Let them talk about themselves

Harvard researchers recently discovered that talking about yourself may be inherently rewarding, the same way that food, money, and sex are.

》Casually touch them.

This is known as "subliminal touching," which occurs when you touch a person so subtly that they barely notice. Common examples include tapping someone's back or touching their arm, which can make them feel more warmly toward you.
