Are you strange? Are you righteous and rigid in your opinions? Are you angry? Does your face say “go away” and do you not like many others? Do you have quirks that only a few understand that make others uncomfortable? Do you not take care of yourself? Are you unconfident and unenthusiastic? Are you unambitious and uninteresting? Are you afraid of too many things?
The more likable you are the greater the probability that you will be happier, healthier and have more friends and success.
Your likability matters (to you), and it IS something you can improve.
It can definitely be a challenge, but one you have to face head-on if you expect things to change. Especially if people skills don’t come to you naturally, you have to practice to improve! I can definitely forget about my “resting indifferent face” when I’m focused on something, so I try to actively pay attention to how I present myself at all times.
Take a step back and look at yourself objectively, try to find out how you might appear to others.
Likeability and approachability are undervalued qualities. If these characteristics don’t come naturally to you, work on them and more opportunities will come your way.
