Personality Development Tips

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, interesting and pleasant to be with.

Here we have some tips to improve your personality

1. Be a better listener : When others are speaking, listen to understand them. Don’t wait until they’re finished so you can respond, but truly focus in on what they’re saying. 

                         Try to repeat back  what they’ve said to you every few minutes so you can show that you hear them.You might say something like, “So, Jan it seems like you’re frustrated that    your boss decided to promote the new  guy instead of you. I can see how that would be really upsetting.”

2. Read more and expand your interests : The more you read and cultivate new interests, the  more interesting you are to others. When you meet new people it gives you the opportunity  to share what you know and to exchange your views with them.

3. Leave your ego behind : There is 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. If, however, you have an uncommon point of view or differing opinion, you are more interesting and       stimulating to be with socially. 

4. Meet New People :  Making new connections can help teach you more about others and build your social skills. Seek friendships with those different from your current friends so you can become a more well-rounded person. You might join a club at your school to meet new folks, go to a church, or find a group tailored to your interests, like a book club.

5. Be yourself : The next most tiresome thing after having no opinions is trying to be something     you're not. Molding yourself in order to fit in, or be accepted. Since each of us is unique, expressing that uniqueness is what makes us interesting. Attempting to be a carbon copy of someone else not only falls flat, but reveals a lack of authenticity.

6. 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. When you add fun and lightheartedness to an otherwise dull or gloomy setting, others will naturally be attracted to you, not to mention grateful.

7. Be supportive of others :  Being supportive is probably the most endearing quality you can integrate into your personality. Just as you yourself welcome it, be the support for others when they need it. We all love a cheerleader in our corner; someone who is encouraging, believes in us and helps pick us up when we're down.

8. Try to stay calm in tense situations : A lot of people seem like they have a good personality until you see them in an emergency or tense situation. Then they lose their cool. Don’t be this person! If you are in a tense situation, try to remain relaxed and see what you can do to resolve the situation.  

              lets say your car breaks down on the highway and you’re going to be late to work. Don’t start yelling and screaming – that’s not going to fix anything. Keep your mind clear and start developing a plan to solve the problem.

9. Develop modesty : You could be the most talented, extraordinary person in the world, but if you don’t have any modesty than you probably won’t have a good personality. Always keep yourself level and balanced. Nobody likes a big ego.
