7 Tips on How to be More Approachable
5. Iron out your mood swings
You cannot be selective about being approachable. You should have a consistent state of mind if you want to be a friendly person. If you let your mood swings get the better of you, it will impact your behavior with other people. One of the key elements of being approachable is to be amicable at all times and in all situations.
6. Ask questions and look interested
People will find you approachable only if you seem interested in them. If you give limited replies or talk in monosyllables, you will come across as rude and restrained. Ask people questions pertinent to them. This will make them feel that you are a warm person who is genuinely interested in building a relationship.
7. Compliment people generously
Complimenting someone is the easiest way to break the ice with that person. If you don’t know what to say in a certain situation or if you face an awkward silence with someone, diffuse that situation by giving a genuine compliment. This will make that person feel nice and it will help you to become more approachable.
