How to be well-liked
From ArticleWorld
To be Well-liked and admired does not necessarily require good looks or lots of brains but a certain something else. It might be cheerfulness or it might be friendliness, at any rate it is something that makes people go away peaceful and content. To be popular should not require you to change your beliefs, values or ideas that you hold dear but you must be prepared to stretch yourself to the utmost.

A few suggestions
- Assess your reasons for wanting to become popular. It could be because you want to increase your circle of friends and have more fun but it could also be because you want to have a fan following, or because you want to be accepted in a certain group. Decide if your reasons are right and then go ahead and try.
- Be cooperative and helpful for the sake of being helpful and not because you want to score brownie points.
- Be yourself. Do not try to project an image that is not you, just because it is cool to be so. Only if you comfortable with yourself will other people be comfortable with you.
- Be an extrovert and outgoing. People who are not shy of new experiences and of meeting new people are well liked an always in demand.
