An open person is always cheerful, cheerful, sociable, attentive to others, positive. These qualities attract other people, help make friends, work and live with pleasure, while isolation and notoriousness, on the contrary, usually repel others. But not everyone succeeds in behaving this way, an inferiority complex, habit, and hostility to the world interfere. If you want to become open, start working on yourself - and after a while your life will change for the better.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, openness primarily lies in the internal qualities of a person, but one should start with the appearance, because, as you know, it can change mood, habits and even character. Therefore, first try to look open: smile more often (a smile automatically adjusts to the positive and attracts the attention of others), relax, but do not slouch, do not fold your arms on your chest, do not clench your fists, keep your head straight, look with a cheerful gaze. If you are in a bad mood, it may seem like an impossible task, but after a few minutes you will notice that you have become more cheerful and more cheerful.
Step 2
Openness does not consist in excessive sociability, this quality means the absence of fear and embarrassment in communication and goodwill. Learn to communicate: Don't avoid situations where you need to talk, don't miss an opportunity to compliment someone or have an interesting conversation. If you don't know how to get somewhere, ask passers-by. Greet people more often: neighbors, seniors, salespeople. Show initiative in conversation, even in unfamiliar companies or in a foreign place. There is no need to specially think over the lines, try to act impromptu to look natural. And if from excitement you began to stumble or forget your name, do not isolate yourself, it is better to laugh out loud at this situation. A sense of humor is also a useful quality.
Step 3
Developing communication skills doesn't mean being chatty. Open people are more likely to listen than talk. Be attentive to the interlocutor, show interest in the topic of the conversation, ask questions and avoid talking a lot about yourself. Respect other people no matter what they say.
Step 4
Openness is also often associated with utmost honesty, but openness is not always helpful. Do not lie (for this, people are not respected or trusted), but you do not need to directly say everything that you think. If your thoughts and feelings might offend the other person, you don't have to show them.
Step 5
And finally, the most important qualities of an open person are cheerfulness and a positive attitude towards life. This attitude is not immediately developed, you need to constantly work on yourself. Learn not to succumb to sad thoughts, not to get upset about mistakes or troubles, to benefit from them, to see the good sides in everything. Along with this, an adequate self-esteem will be formed.
