11 Qualities That Will Make You Irresistable

Who wouldn’t want a capturing personality that enables us to lead, connect with others easily, convince anyone to support us, and resolve any quarrel with irresistible personal charm? People with great personalities are more likely to succeed, so it's not surprising that many people try to improve themselves and their communication skills. Part of this improvement process focuses on developing or strengthening features that people can’t resist, and if you want to have a good influence on people, you just need to recognize and adopt them. These are the 11 qualities that will make you charismatic and popular ...

1. Confidence 
People who are self-confident do not compare themselves to others all the time. They rely first and foremost on their own minds and abilities and do not blame their environment for their emotional state. Instead of losing themselves in relationships or workplaces, people who have high self-confidence build and maintain their relationships based on their own personal plans and dreams - they know what they want to achieve and make sure they do so. When you feel confident in your personality and in the decisions you make, those around you will be impressed by your management and decisiveness.

2. Honesty  
qualities
Honest people are not afraid to tell the truth. They are direct in their judgment and open to themselves just as they are exposed and true to their environment. People are happy to talk with honest people because they can be trusted, and relationships become simpler, clearer and safer when everything is on the table and there is nothing to hide. In addition, in a romantic relationship it is easier to trust honest people - and for a healthy relationship, trust is priceless.

3. Trustworthiness 
Without trust, any relationship - whether in the workplace, romantic or platonic - will quickly disintegrate. It is therefore very important that you establish yourself as a reliable person whose words and actions can be trusted, from minor matters to the big and significant things. This is the only way to get people to be pulled to you and trust you with all their hearts. 
 
4. Sensitivity  
Sensitivity is about being able to sense the swings and changes in other’s moods, as well as to being empathetic towards them. Sensitive relationships begin with the smallest things, such as noticing when your partner wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, and bigger things such as noticing when your partner feels jealous. For example, in order to attract others, you must be aware of their feelings. If, for instance, one of your colleagues seems different, preoccupied or looks down in the dumps, don’t hesitate to take interest and offer an empathetic ear. Doing this guarantees that you’ll be able to bring people closer to you and be seen in a positive light.

 5. Be supportive
qualities
 It's not enough to just recognize that someone is going through something. You also need to know how to support them. You should make others feel that you are "on their team" and that, together, you’ll be able to overcome anything, big or small. The confidence and support you provide them will encourage them to act, make them part of your team, and perhaps even bring others closer to you. 
 
6. Express interest 
In addition to being supportive in times of need, in order to become an irresistible person, you should adopt a curious and healthy interest in others. Reach out to people you haven’t heard from in a long time, whether by phone or social media. In this way, you’ll be able to regain friends you’ve lost along the way and even make some new ones.

7. Loyalty 
Loyalty is one of the most important qualities, not only in romantic relationships but in any relationship. Knowing that you can wholeheartedly trust another person who won’t knowingly betray you or try to hurt you, even when tempted, is very important to everyone. But first of all, you have to adopt this attribute for yourself. Always be loyal to your beliefs, views, and path, and this will show others that you can be loyal to them as well. In doing this, you’ll be able to attract others who will regard you as an important, quality and loyal friend. 
 
8. A sense of humor  qualities
Our sense of humor can help us easily overcome minor problems, resolve small conflicts and quarrels, and generally make life more enjoyable. When a person has a sense of humor, a touch of irony and self-awareness, they are often perceived as being easy to love and cherish. Therefore, even if you are not naturally funny, you may want to remember some jokes and funny stories to draw people closer to you.

9. Patience 
Patience and restraint can be expressed in everyday life in all kinds of ways: if you can wait in line without whining and trying to push your way past, if you stubbornly avoid falling into life’s many obstacles, and if you know how to strive steadily to achieve your goal - you have patience. People find this attribute very attractive. If you haven’t been blessed and your patience tends to be very short, it is highly recommended that you work on it. 
 
10. Optimism  
qualities
It’s always nicer to be around a joyous person who radiates happiness. In order to adopt infectious optimism, you have to start seeing the good in life and know how to enjoy the moment. An optimistic person helps others and encourages them not to give up and stick to their goals, and, in doing so, brings them closer. When you are in a relationship, this approach will help you and your partner see all the little problems and troubles as smaller than they seem at first, and this feeling can strengthen the relationship and make your partner stick with you for the long run. qualities

11. Likeability 
When given the choice between a sulky, angry, and sarcastic person and a calm-headed, forgiving, and compromising person, all would choose the latter. Likeability is part of the vast majority of traits that we’ve talked about so far, but it is also a trait within itself. Even a small smile will make others feel warm and happy –so start spreading them around and no one will be able to resist your charm.

These Are the Health Benefits of a Social Media Hiatus

To me, it seems like this modern period is divided into two: before social media platforms and after their appearance. It seems that if you're not there you don't really exist. This may sound like a radical thing to say, but try conducting yourself through life without a Facebook account. I've tried for a year, and I faced obstacles daily. Some businesses don't even have a dedicated website these days- only a Facebook page, which you can't interact with if you don't have an account. Difficult, but not impossible! 

But I would like to suggest something a little less radical: taking a periodical hiatus from social media platforms. And I mean all platforms because if you try deleting just one, you'll find that you spend more time on others. While deleting your apps may sound radical nonetheless, let me offer this perspective: why try to set time boundaries and struggle with your willpower, instead of just putting the apps away for a week? You'll only be deleting your app, not the account itself. This will be restored once you re-install your app. Instead of spending precious mental energy on resisting the urge, practice the good old "out of sight, out of mind" mindset, and score some much-needed mental and physical health benefits. Let's take a look together. 
 
 Efficiency in Daily Tasks
First off, let's ask ourselves why we want to quit social media. Each individual may have their own reasons. It may be that social media is time-consuming, it is addictive, it portrays a very narrow, one-sided picture of the world, it leads to stress and it can cause other health issues related to spending prolonged periods on your phone. 
 
The first benefit you're likely to notice is how efficient you feel when you don't juggle between your daily tasks and the short peaks into social media. As said before by so many, social media is time-consuming and the sound of notifications has even been linked to stress. Trying to slip in a couple of minutes of scrolling through Facebook during your daily tasks may feel like a light break, but the minutes add up. If you're truly looking for a break, tear away from the screen for a few minutes. The tomato-time Strict Workflow chrome extension will help with that. It is a timer of intervals of 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes for a break. When you're on your 25 minutes of work, access to certain websites will be blocked. 
 
Creativity  
Remember that new hobby you picked up during quarantine? You'll be surprised at how better you get when you have free time and a calm mind to practice it now. Boredom does bring out creativity. Do you think we would all be enjoying the genius of Leonardo da Vinci today if he had an iPad to scroll through all day? He was fascinated with exploring the world around him and within him. You may pick up an old hobby you neglected long ago. You may find you enjoy painting without the stress of having to present a beautiful Instagram-able result at the end. Who knows? But how exciting would it be to find out, don't you think? 
 
Anxiousness

We are not here to sugarcoat reality. At first, you will feel detached and if you really were addicted you may even feel anxious. This is a symptom of withdrawal and recovery from FOMO-the fear of missing out. Trust us, you are not missing out on anything. One of the reasons social media is so addictive is because it artificially taps into the dopamine mechanisms in your brain. This is a happy hormone our brain secretes to make us feel rewarded. When your brain has higher dopamine levels than usual, a dopamine detox isn't easy but any discomfort should resolve in about 3 days. This video will help explain if you feel overwhelmed by this information:

Serenity  
Another reason social media is so addictive is that it both stresses you and calms your down interchangeably. When you're anxious to know what going on, or you hear the sound of a notification, cortisol (the stress hormone) levels in your blood rise a little. And then, you're instantly relieved with new distractive content and perhaps some notifications, that impact your dopamine levels.

High levels of cortisol in the blood over long periods will affect your memory and increase your chances for depression. When you're not available 24/7, and the news doesn't show up on your phone uninvited, your levels of cortisol come down again. Take control again and set your own boundaries for social app use and notifications. 
 
 Newfound Energy
If scrolling through social media is what lulls you into sleep, try this little experiment: avoid using your phone during the hour before you go to bed and after you've woken up. This will be hard, from my experience. Take any measure you need for this experiment to go successfully for at least 4 days. You can even leave your phone outside of your room or ask a partner to help you. After four days time, do you feel like your mornings are better? much easier to get out of bed? Do you sleep much better? 
 
Usually, we don't even consciously make the decision to scroll until falling asleep. We just check in quickly on the feed for our last dose of dopamine for the day, and without even noticing it we're sucked down the rabbit hole, falling asleep with our phone in our hand. If you need help unwinding, try reading a book or listening to one, to lull you into falling asleep. At first, this will be challenging and your thoughts might run wild, but after a few times you try it you're likely to find that you take much less time to fall asleep. 
 
Social media eases a worried mind, we'll give you that. It does so by distracting you. In fact, your stream of thoughts may even stop completely when you're scrolling, helping your wary mind at the end of a long day. But that also means you don't pay attention to your body and posture. Before you know it you've been sitting uncomfortably for 40 minutes and now you're sore.  
 
Confidence
By now you know very well that social media users, including your closest family and yourself, usually only share what's happy or appealing to the eye. This is what we mean when we say that social media only portrays a one-sided image of life. Your brain automatically compares yourself to the people in your surroundings in a social ancestral mechanism. This is a phenomenon called upward social comparison. You unconsciously make a social ranking to know where you belong and act accordingly, with a tendency to rank ourselves lower than we deserve. 
 
Seeking to understand the social construct around you is good and healthy, don't get us wrong. The problem starts when you spend too much time on social media. Your brain doesn't differentiate between virtual and real-life in that matter, and when everyone around you is that successful, you obviously can't measure. This kills our confidence. In daily life, we all are pretty equal, aren't we? Tapping back into reality will restore your confidence.

Positivity People not only share their photogenic life on social media. They also love to rant and share their opinion. Imagine having to listen to random people's opinions throughout the day on social and political matters. If that happened face to face, that would be tedious and probably even overwhelming, but the effect is much more subtle when it happens virtually. 
 
When you feel grumpy without knowing why, consider putting down the phone for the day. You may say that you also follow the news on social platforms. That's great. You can easily log on to the websites you like through your internet browser. When you do it with intention, instead of being bombarded with uncontrolled notifications, you'll also have control over what and when you see it.  
 
Better Relationships

When I go on my periodical social media hiatus, nurturing my real-life relationships is my usual main reason. Social media, ironically, tends to make us feel detached from our friends, and not before long do we ask ourselves why didn't we get invited to the get-together we see on our feed. Try using social media to strengthen your long-distance relationship, and investing more of your newfound energy in your close friendships. These are much healthier, much more rewarding opportunities to get that dopamine your brain needs so much.
