How To Be Popular And Make Friends

By George B. Peck


Talking about being popular seems so high school. Why should we try to be popular? Who do you think influences people? The person with no friends, or the one who's popular with people. I'll let you answer this. If you want to influence people, maybe your social group, maybe people at work you have to be popular with them.The definition of popular by the freedicitonary.com is 'widely liked or appreciated'. If you're widely liked or appreciated you can have influence over others. What does this mean? It means that your opinions your advice are more readily accepted. It means that you can change others' lives, it means you can make a difference in the world.


[ How To Be Popular And Make Friends]



One thing you can do in your steps to become popular is to be confident about yourself. Confident people emit a sort of aura that lets other people know that they can get jobs done and that no matter what they ask, they'll get a quick response. If you have a tendency towards being shy, people won't notice you and will just pass you by. One way you can gain practice is to practice in the mirror your facial expression. If you can control your facial expression, people will want to talk to you more and you'll gain not only confidence but friends.

Show Empathy. Empathy is when you step into someone shoes and feel what they feel. It is a step more than sympathy, it's sharing and understanding what some is feeling.Remember things about others. Remember the things others have told you. If you can talk a few day later about something they told you that is very powerful. It tells the other person that not only have you listened, but you have remembered. Be proactive in your relationships. You be the one who initiates conversation, you be the one who organises social gatherings. You be the one who sends a Facebook message to someone who you haven't spoken to in a while. Be real. People like someone who is real. People are sick of people who act all the time, pretending to be someone they aren't.

People are sick of others who lie. People want to be friends with someone who is real, truthful and honest.Be funny. People like funny people, simple. People like comedians, they go to their shows, buy their dvd's. Comedians take people's mind off their own problems. If you are naturally funny, use your gift. One thing I will say is try and make yourself the butt of jokes; if you don't know someone and your making fun of them you may get a punch in the mouth for your troubles.

Becoming a popular student is perhaps easy at school but college is a larger society and thus fulfilling your desire of becoming popular at college maybe an arduous task but I guess if you follow the tips I have mentioned above you may become an extremely popular student!
