How effective your communications with other people will be depends on your attitude towards others. If you want to improve your social life, develop the right attitude towards other individuals.
Instructions
Step 1
Get out of the habit of criticizing others. You cannot know all the circumstances of the life of other people, therefore, you do not know the motives of their actions in full. To judge others means to think out for them and hang your worldview on people. Remember that all people are different. Those around you had different living conditions, different upbringing.
Step 2
Recognize people's right to their own opinions. Categorically minded individuals who believe that only they are always right in everything do not succeed in communication. Remember that other people have their own life priorities and values. They build their reality in accordance with their own outlook on life and have their own point of view.
Step 3
Try to find in each of the people around you something good, interesting, worthy of attention or even imitation. Surely every friend of yours has positive character traits. Chances are, you have a lot to learn from others. That is why it is worth treating people with sympathy and respect.
Step 4
Do not put yourself above others. High self-esteem and arrogance will not make your circle of friends wider, nor will the number of good acquaintances increase. Optimal self-determination and harmonious relationships with others assume that a person puts himself on the same level with other people and communicates with them on an equal footing.
Step 5
Do not oppose yourself to other people. An individual who is too wary of others, sees potential enemies in everyone and takes hostility towards all actions, will not be able to achieve harmony in his social life. Believe me, other people are more concerned with their own lives, and not with how to poison your existence.
Step 6
Be kind and open-minded. Your friendliness will serve you well. People, seeing your positive attitude and a kind smile, will be drawn to you. It turns out that half the battle in establishing contact you will do with just one mood.
Step 7
Learn to trust people. Do not shy away from everyone around you. Of course, there are individuals who may not live up to your faith, but you should have a support group of friends and good acquaintances.
Step 8
Work on yourself to learn to forgive people for their mistakes and wrongdoings. Remember that every individual can stumble. Show more compassion and patience. But whether to forgive a person who commits the same mistake several times is another question.
