UCLA University in the United States has conducted a study to help us improve on the difficult art of liking others. In it, it clarifies what are the 10 habits that help less to be liked by others. Here you have them summarized:
- Mention names of important people that you can know or not, without any relevance for the conversation, makes you be perceived as arrogant.
- Emotional ups and downs: expressing too much joy or anger at unimportant issues only causes mistrust and rejection. We all reject screams and pitches, especially in the working environment.
- False humility: To say that you do wrong or not dominate something in which you are clearly superior to your team, colleagues, etc. really can annoy others.
- Do not leave your eyes from your mobile: Look at the phone even if you are in the middle of a meeting or an important conversation. Makes others feel unimportant to you.
- Be very "closed-minded", not admitting other points of view, other beliefs, other values, and making it evident.
- Don't ask questions: If you don't ask, you don't show any interest in what surrounds you, or the opinion of others.
- Gossip: Talk about personal issues that don't affect you, and usually negatively.
- Share a lot too soon: Without a real close relationship, humans do not like to hear the personal problems of others.... Choose who you share your problems with.
- Share too much on social networks: As in every other aspect of life, you need to find the midpoint, including what do you have for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day and photograph all the sites you visit in the networks, only transmit an "unhealthy" need for social acceptance and personal insecurity.
- Being very serious: Try to be serious and professional in the performance of your work, but accessible and friendly in your interaction with others.
We encourage you to identify the ones you practice more often and work in a plan to avoid them. Best of luck.
