Eight subtle things that make you more attractive (without changing your appearance)

I wasn’t always comfortable speaking with people, let alone confident socially.

It took me years of awkward moments, social anxiety and self-beratement to get to a point where social environments brought more clarity for me.

I’ve since learned some interesting aspects of human behaviour that benefitted my relationships tremendously, and though appearance is important, there are several behaviours that can boost your attractiveness.

Like the following…

1. Letting people speak

Do you ever notice how frustrating it is when you’re mid-sentence and somebody cuts in with their comment?

Right. It is annoying, and it is disrespectful.

This is how it is felt when the positions are switched too. Honour someone’s words by giving them the needed space to finish their sentence.

There’s no rush.

This isn’t a competition to prove who can squeeze in more stuff in a given time frame.

More than anything, a healthy and meaningful conversation is one in which parties are respected and heard. So listen and be patient.
