How To Be More Likeable | 7 Tips To Improve Your Likeability

Subscribe To Alpha M.

Have you ever met someone and immediately liked them? Maybe you know someone who is a likeable guy? Aaron Marino of alpha m. asks where you fall on the likeability scale. He provides tips and advice to be more likeable.

1. Have a positive outlook on life - practice maintaining a positive attitude. We more we practice, even if faking, eventually you're conditioning your mind and attitude. People will notice and like you more. Everyone likes to be surrounded by positive people.

2. Be passionate - we are drawn to passionate people (not creepy and intense).

3. Have a sense of humor - this is vital to happiness in general. Laugh at yourself and don't take yourself too seriously. Don't be the clown or comedian, however, because that's annoying.

4. Control your insecurities - no one wants to be around someone who second guesses themselves. That is annoying!

5. Be a good listener - listening takes a bit of practice as we find ourselves to waiting for our turn to speak rather than listening & processing what the other person is saying. Reciprocally, we like to speak to people who are listening and 'getting it'.

6. Be humble - no one likes a show-off or someone who brags. Practice humility even if you don't believe it.

7. Give compliments - learn to compliment (give and receive well).

My likeability is 0, I am a toxic person and trying to change.

[maharshmangal]

this dude is so right about controlling insecurities

[kingo]

Honestly i dont even know how to fake all these things

[Nightmare]

I always see people say "fake it to make it" but I can't even fake it :/

I think the first step in being likable is actually liking yourself or more accurately being a friend with yourself. Stop talking trash about yourself. Your real friends don't talk trash about you and if they do, they're not your friends and it's about time you got some new ones. One step at a time my friend. One step at a time.

The best way to be liked is to stop trying to be liked.

Gets a compliment about shirt color....*isn't wearing a shirt*

[hbmhtgc]

Im happy but ugly. That's my problem 😂

[AspiringAbogado]

A thing I learned recently is that whatever you accept about yourself, people will accept it too. You gotta *learn* to love *and* improve yourself.

Gosh, my friend is all of these and then there's me.

Great video! All common sense stuff when you think about it, but we so need to be reminded of these things. The listening tip reminds me of a quote from Dale Carnegie: "To be interesting, you have to be INTERESTED."

[andrewyang]

I really like your hair in this, Alpha! You should make a tutorial video for it!

[pastorofmuppets]

I'm a pessimist because I'm a realist. One thing about being a pessimist is that I'm either right, or pleasantly surprised.

[Foretelling]

Yo, Alpha! What's up, man? I'm wondering, would you be able to do a video on how to break bad habits? I've been biting my nails for quite a few years, and ever since I started, I've been trying to stop! The longest I've gone for is about 2 weeks, but I always manage to somehow get drawn back into it. If you could hook me up with a video like that, it would be awesome! Thanks, brother. Peace.

This is my first comment ever in Youtube. Thank you Aaron! You allways send positive energy through your Youtube channel. I use to think that if we all pat ourselves on the shoulder every time we do or say something good, we Will grow everytime.

As usual, another outstanding video. Truly inspirational.
Keep it going fratello!
Best regards,

On the first point- negative people can be, as Aaron said, difficult to be around, but maybe they have their reasons for having such an outlook. Some people just aren't happy, as much as they might want or try to be. So maybe positive people shouldn't simply avoid them just because they're unhappy, that'll probably make things worse. Those people need happy, positive people in their life more than anybody, i feel. A little warmth can really help somebody who's so used to feeling cold. Anyhow, great advice, as always!

I think being positive is the toughest thing to achieve.. Lets say i have a project to complete.. I don't know whether I would be able to accomplish it or not.. But being negative about it would definitely make it more troublesome.. I would look troublesome.. And everybody would find me rather more worried than usual.. A constant insecurity.. It would repel people.. Being positive is first step whereas being confident is second.. A self belief is needed is to become positive.. A promise to oneself..

I've learned all this through out my life. But this guy knows what he's talking about. Love him ....
