How to Improve your Personality
10 ways to improve your personality:-
Contrary to many people’s beliefs, you can improve your personality!
We now know that not only can we improve our personality, but we can also develop it in ways that we never understood before, or even believe in!
Until recently it was believed that humanity is permanent. In 1890, William James, a prominent Harvard psychologist, wrote in his influential book The Principles of Psychology, that humanity was "put to death" by being an adult.
This idea has ruled for over a century; however, the idea that humanity is high in fluids has gained over time. We are now at a point where we see that we have influence and control over what we want to do or refine.
1.Be a better listener:
“I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.”
— Ernest Hemingway
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis has been regarded as one of the most beloved women in the world because she developed the ability to be an outstanding listener. He was known for what people would look like, support each one of them, and make them feel special. There is nothing more appealing than having someone listen to you and make you feel like you are the only one in the world.
“Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak”
— Epictetus
2.Read more and expand your interests:
The more you learn and develop new interests, the more interesting you will become to others. When you meet new people it allows you to share what you know and change your ideas with them.
“When you expand your interests, you increase your opportunities for happiness.”
3.Be a good Conversationalist:
“Night air,good conversation, and sky full of stars can heal almost any wound.”
_Beau Taplin
This has to do with how much you read and know. Once you have a lot to add, learn how to talk about it with others. No one can read or know everything, so it is refreshing to learn from others the things we do not have time to learn. In case you are shy, join a group like Toastmasters that encourages you to talk about what you know.
“A conversation is so much more than words, a conversation is eyes, smiles, the silences between the words.”
4. Have a Opinion:
There is nothing more frustrating than trying to talk to someone who has nothing to do with it. Conversation has no place to go if you have nothing to explain. If, however, you have an unfamiliar opinion or a different opinion, you are interested in and encouraging social relations (unless you know everything, of course). A unique perspective expands everyone’s perspective.
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
5.Meet New People:
I love meeting new people; I think everyone has a story to tell. We should all listen sometimes.
Make the effort to meet new people especially those unlike you. It not only exposes you to different cultures and alternative ways of doing things, it broadens your horizons.
“Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet.”
6.Be yourself:
The next most annoying thing after having no ideas is trying to be something you are not. Exercises to fit, or accept, often go backwards. Since each of us is different, expressing that difference is what makes us love. Trying to be someone else’s carbon copy not only falls short, but also reveals a lack of authenticity.
“If you want to build your personality don’t do extraordinarily, just act like a human being.”
— Mohammad Rishad Sakhi
7.Have a positive outlook and attitude:
Who wants to be among the people who have a negative opinion, who complain too much, or who have nothing to say? In fact, most of us run when we see them coming. Instead, be a flooded person who lights up the room with your energy as you enter it. Do it with a better look at people and things. Smile warmly, spread joy, and live with others in your presence.
“A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.”
— Wade Boggs
8.Be fun and see the humorous side of life:
Everyone enjoys the company of someone who makes them laugh or smile, so look for the humorous, quirky side in a situation — there always is one. Comic relief is a much welcome and needed diversion at times. When you can add fun and lightheartedness to an otherwise dull or gloomy setting, others will naturally be attracted to you, not to mention grateful.
“A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing.”
–Laura Ingalls Wilder
9.Be supportive of others:
Support is probably the most appealing quality you can combine with your personality. Just as you have accepted, be supportive of others when they need you. We all love the cheerleader in our corner; someone who encourages, believes in us and helps us lift us up when we are down.
“supporting another’s success won’t ever dampening yours.”
10.Have Integrity and treat people with respect:
Being honest and true to your word will bring you the admiration, respect and gratitude of others. Nothing improves a person’s personality more than integrity and respect — respect for others, as well as respect for yourself.We humans have the power and ability to shape our personalities however we wish. When we develop ourselves to be all that we can be, we contribute to our own, as well as the happiness of others.
“Moral authority comes from following universal and timeless principles like honesty, integrity, treating people with respect.”
— Stephen Covey
