Someone can light up a room with their happy personality.The people seem to make other people smile.It can be difficult to make others smile for some people because of their personality quirks.There are a lot of things you can try to make everyone happy.
Step 1: You should make eye contact.
Act friendly and smile.Make eye contact when someone is talking to you.Eye contact is a way of connecting with another human on an intimate level, and is key to being well-liked by others.Being present in the moment means putting away your phone.Whether you are ordering a drink at the coffee shop, sitting through a boring family holiday get-together, or out with friends, be present with those around you.
Step 2: Be credible.
Getting people to trust and like you is a huge factor in making them respond to you with a joyful smile.It's not a good idea to try and manipulate someone to like you when you do something for someone else.It is possible to be more genuine in your daily life.
Step 3: Don't be asked to offer help.
Most people don't know how to ask for help but wish someone would help them out.If you need help with household chores or juggling too many grocery bags, you can give it without being asked.Know people and anticipate their needs.If your friend is struggling with an illness, you can offer to cook for his or her family or do the laundry.If you know someone who is about to have a medical procedure, ask if you can bring them a meal.When you see someone struggling, watch strangers.If you see a mom with her hands full trying to bag her groceries while her toddler throws a fit, give her the bag for her.If you see an elderly person dropping his mail, help pick it up.
Step 4: Meet your friends.
Only about 4% of Americans know most of their neighbors.For the holidays or to introduce yourself, you can head next door with a small gift.Let them know that you want to be a good neighbor.You never know when you need them.In residential neighborhoods with elderly residents, befriending your neighbor can be the difference between loneliness and friendship.Stay-at- home parents might feel isolated and grateful for the human contact.
Step 5: Something to grow.
A garden is a great place to learn how to care for other living things.Studies show that growing plants can make you a better friend.You can grow fruits and vegetables and give them to a food bank or neighbor.You can give flowers to someone who might be down.Tomatoes, green beans, and marigolds are easy to grow in your area.
Step 6: Give a compliment.
A sincere compliment is a great gift for someone who doesn't cost you anything.Since everyone's favorite topic is themselves, offering a compliment is a great way to endear you to someone.It's a good idea to compliment someone on how well they did during a sporting event or on a test.Don't compliment people for things that are out of their control, like appearance or body features.There is a helpful guide on how to offer a compliment.
Step 7: Don't be afraid to be yourself.
We forget about the good we have to offer when we focus on our negative attributes.It can be difficult to overcome shyness and gain confidence, but by reaching out to others in kindness you can make them smile.Paying attention to your positive qualities and not your negative qualities is one of the ways to build self-confidence.If you have confidence, you can walk up to a stranger and ask if they need help, or stand up for someone being bullied.
Step 8: There's a smile.
Smiling has a number of benefits, and has been shown to be socially contagious.People in every culture smile to signal happiness.There is a 50% chance that a stranger will smile back if you smile at them.Smiling even when you are sad can lower your stress rate and make you happy.
Step 9: Change your perspective.
If you complain, whine, or compare yourself to others, you can take steps to improve your outlook on life.It is more likely that you can help others to be happy if you have a positive outlook.Positive self-talk can be practiced.The thoughts that run through your head throughout the day are called self-talk.Don't say anything to yourself that you would not say to someone you love.Practice being present.Instead of focusing on the past or future, it's better to focus on experiences in the here-and-now.It can help you improve your outlook.It is possible to learn to empathise with others, making you a great friend.
Step 10: People's happiness is their choice.
It's great that you care about other people and want to make them smile.You can't force anyone to be happy at the end of the day.People have to decide if they want to be happy or not.People must make a conscious effort to be happy.It can be hard for people who have been dealt a rough hand in life, but they can choose to be happy.Unless someone is also making an effort to be happy, outside influences can only do so much.
Step 11: Not everyone will like you.
Imagine if you will, that you could be the most likeable, generous, attractive, and intelligent person in the world.There are still people who don't like you.It shows more about them and their attitudes than it does about you.It may be difficult to win someone over.Maybe you remind them of someone who hurt them.Maybe they struggle with jealousy or a lack of self-confidence, and seeing how happy you are only makes them more miserable.Some people can't stand to see other people happy.
Step 12: Accept that you did your best.
They are still grumpy after you tried to make them smile by doing random acts of kindness, being polite, smiling at them, and just generally being pleasant to be around.At the end of the day, if you have done everything you can to make someone smile, you should be proud.You left your way for someone else.You have done your best, and that's all you can do.You can't fix everyone else's problems if you keep being your pleasant self.
