10 Ways To Improve Your Personality
Contrary to what you may believe, you can improve your personality.
"We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die." Albert Camus
The "personality" is the typical pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaviors that make a person unique.
When we say that someone has a "good personality" we mean that they are likeable, pleasant to be around, and good to socialize with.
Everyone wants to be attractive to others. Having a good personality helps - perhaps even more so than good looks.
While we can improve our looks to only a certain extent, we can work on improving the personality as much as we want.
Here are some ways in which we can accomplish this:
1. Be a better listener. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was considered one of the most charming women in the world because she cultivated the skill of being an exceptional listener. She would look a person in the eyes and hang on their every word. Nothing is more appealing than having someone listening to you intently and making you feel like you’re the only person in the world.
Read More and Expand Your Interests. The more you read and interests you have, the more interesting you are to others. It also gives you the opportunity to meet people and share or exchange your views with them.
2. Be a good conversationalist. This relates to how much you read and know. Once you have much to contribute, learn how to talk about it with others. We can’t know everything, so it’s refreshing to learn about things we don’t have time to read about from others. If you’re shy join a group like Toastmasters that encourages you to talk about what you know.
3. Have an Opinion. There’s nothing more tiresome than trying to talk to someone who has no opinion on anything. A conversation has nowhere to go if you have nothing to expound on. When you have a differing opinion, it makes you that much more interesting and stimulating to be around (unless you’re a know-it-all, of course). A unique outlook expands everyone’s perspective.
4. Meet New People. Make the effort to meet new people especially those different from you. It not only exposes you to different cultures and alternate ways of doing things, it broadens your horizons.
