Question - Gurudev, How can I be more likeable?
Gurudev @SriSriRaviShankar ji - If you truly want to be liked by others, I would say one should remember these 5 things.
1. Don't judge others
First thing is stop judging people. Look back and see how often you are judging others.
2. Stop seeking attention and recognition
Second thing is, wanting attention and recognition will also stop you from being liked by others. You do what you want to do, don't expect recognition from others. Then you will be liked by people.
3. Showing one-upmanship in your dealing with others can be detrimental
Third thing is, don't brood over the past or dig the past and ask others for explanations. If you are pointing fingers at others and showing their mistakes again and again, then you won't be liked by others.
4. Honesty
Fourth thing is honesty, don't try to be goody-goody all the time. Be honest, be straight forward but not rude. That's a very delicate balance there.
5. Stop wanting to be liked
And the fifth thing is you stop wanting them to like you. You wanting others to recognise you is detrimental in your relationship with others.
