Likability trait: You know how to forgive

This one’s a huge likeability trait, folks. You do forgive. But you don’t forget, hopefully. You’re willing sometimes to let things go. People see that, and they see your strength of character and security in being able to do this. And trust us, they respect you for it.

Likability trait: You’re a team player

There’s a time for doing your own thing and being solitary. But even the solitary brainiac prototype frequently relied on others to do their groundbreaking work and move forward.

If you like to be a team player, you should know that people are noticing it and loving that about you.

Likability trait: You share your expertise

If you spread around what you’re great at and help others by teaching them, they like you. It’s all about ensuring that what you’re helping with is something people want to learn or know about.

Likability trait: You REALLY listen

These days, everyone seems to be glued to their smartphones. It makes you eminently likable if you genuinely lend a listening ear when people are talking. Believe us: If you hear what people have to say and remember it later, they will love that about you.

Likability trait: You are competitive…But never mean-spirited

Being competitive can be a very healthy trait, especially when it’s about competing against our former selves and trying to be better than we used to be. People feel this blaze from you and they’ll like and respect you for it, even if you can be a bit intimidating at times.

But even though you like to compete…and win, you’re never mean-spirited about it. You help others who’ve fallen along their way and you’re not cynical with a me-first kind of attitude.

This trait consistently draws people to you and makes you much more likable than you might think. After all, there is such a thing as a sore loser. But also know that sore winners also exist.

Likability trait: You have core values

What inspires you to get up in the morning? If you have certain core values that you adhere to and longer-term goals for what you want to accomplish in your life, that attracts people to you like a magnet.

Whether or not you acknowledge it, your purpose-driven life draws others to you and gains their admiration and respect.

Likability trait: You take responsibility for your actions

Taking responsibility for what you do and owning up to your blunders will increase your likability significantly. Way too many people cut and run when things get difficult.

But if you stand behind your work and any promises you might have made, people’s respect and admiration for you grows accordingly.

Likability trait: You are self-disciplined

When you’re self-disciplined and stick to a regular schedule, it inspires others as well. They can see that you keep yourself accountable and in line. That gives them more reason to keep their own discipline up, too.

Likability trait: You’re authentic

It’s tough to find genuine folks nowadays. But plenty still do exist. Part of the issue is the profusion of online posturing and needlessly showing off on social media.

That’s why if you’re an authentic person, it’s going to be detected by others and admired by them, regardless of how many social media followers you do or don’t have.

Likability trait: You’re honest

Those who tell the truth always make the best romantic partners, business partners, and friends. If you have a policy of always telling the truth, it’ll get noticed. Trust us: Your honesty is valued and likable by those who are tired of dealing with dishonest and sneaky folks.

Likability trait: You care

The world has a severe condition right now, and we’re not talking about war or poverty, not that those are helping matters in any way. What we’re talking about is “nihilism. The condition is “whatever, man.”

If you care about something, including important subjects or other people, you’re already a human antidote to the illness of our times. And people who also care will notice that you do as well. And they’ll love that about you.

Likability trait: You’re modest

Knowing your talents and being proud of who you are is amazing. But you should never get to the point where you’re too big for your britches. If you’re a reasonably modest person, there’s a good chance that people like this trait about you more than you realize.

Likability trait: You don’t worship fame or wealth

Those who go cuckoo over rich and famous people aren’t considered very endearing people. At the very least, they should try to develop a stronger personal sense of gravity and learn that fame and fortune are fleeting.

You may love an artist or a rock band but don’t worship them. And people notice this absence of needing to be a groupie and like you for it because it shows self-respect and maturity.

Likability trait: You lift people up

You might not realize it, but when you say a kind word to someone or try to help somebody out, you lift them up. This makes you a net asset. And people love these types of personalities because far too many folks are the opposite.

Likability trait: You seek truth

Would you rather get the truth that makes your life a bit more difficult in the short term but ultimately brings you meaning and fulfillment? Or would you prefer a comfortable lie that makes your life easier and ensures you never truly feel alone or excluded from groups?

Many would say the second alternative. Plus, “truth and lies are subjective anyway, right?” If you want truth regardless of the price, people love that about you, even if they can’t always live up to your ideas or their consequences.
