Are you doing something that might make others dislike you? I'm sure you're often being told that you shouldn't care about others opinions as long as you're happy with yourself However, your mood and emotions can still be affected by what others think of you and that's okay After all we're all social beings that rely heavily on each other We want to be liked and desire approval appreciation and acceptance from others With that in mind here are six behaviors that can make people dislike you Number one sharing too many photos on social media Have you ever been on Instagram and felt annoyed by that one person who floods your feed with pick after pick? Although sharing photos can be helpful while building up an interpersonal relationship Research has shown that sharing too many photos can have the opposite effect According to a study done by David Houghton Your real-life relationships can be hindered because people won't relate to you as well if you're constantly posting photos of yourself Additionally friends might not like it if you post too many family photos and vice versa to avoid hindering your interpersonal Relationships thinking about how the photos you post are being perceived by everyone and being mindful of that when making your posts would be beneficial number two humble bragging Imagine this your friend complains to you about how swamped she is in her newly elected role as student body president She says that she's so stressed in fact that she's lost ten pounds and can even fit into her old jeans from 9th grade As a listener you translate your friend series of complaints and deduce the real meaning behind the brag She's proud of her new role and know she looks better than ever This is the art of humble brag and it's not attractive According to a working paper from Harvard Business School. They chose a job interview for the study setting Independent research assistants were asked to determine who they would be more likely to hire The results showed that three quarters of participants humble bragged and that the independent research assistants were more likely to hire The people who are honest and didn't humble brag and found them to be more likeable Since humble bragging is a turnoff to most people it's advisable to avoid doing it as best you can Number three not smiling Are you someone who does not usually smile or finds it hard to keep a smile on during parties or family get-togethers? If this sounds like you you might not be getting approached very much a study conducted by the University of Wyoming Found that a smile is very influential and how likeable you are even more than having an open-body position The main reason is that when other people see you smile it makes them feel good naturally attracting them towards you Try to smile whenever you can and whenever you feel like it It'll make you so much more likeable, especially when you're first meeting someone Number four constantly criticizing people's choices Do you hate when people question your decisions just because you didn't do it their way a study published by the Journal of Consumer Psychology Confirmed that you won't like it when someone criticizes your own decisions Making you more prone to disliking them you naturally compare yourself to others and decide to build relationships based on the Similarities and differences you see in them compared to yourself This comparison is magnified when comparing ethics and morals since these are an essential part of your identity Therefore if you're constantly criticizing judging or being closed-minded about people's choices Chances are they'll not like you simply because of the disagreement that exists on a fundamental level If they're open to talk to you about their choices It would be wise to ask questions to understand where they're coming from and their points of view Instead of shoving your opinion down their throats Number five suppressing or faking your emotions. Do you have trouble expressing how you truly feel to others? Do you go along with something you disagree with just to avoid conflict? If so this behavior might cause others to dislike you This is because people can tell when you're being inauthentic According to a study by the University of Oregon people who suppress their emotions were perceived as less agreeable and more insecure about Relationships as human beings we look for people who are likely to reciprocate our investments So when we detect that someone is hiding their emotions, we may interpret that as disinterest and Number six writing a formal email with a smiling emoticon Have you ever thought about adding a smiling emoticon in a work email that you're about to send to your boss? You might want to rethink that one Research has suggested that although smiling in person will make you more likeable adding smiling emojis can work against you especially in a formal setting to back this up a 2017 article by researchers in Israel and the Netherlands found that adding smiling emojis and emails makes you seem less competent Giving people the impression that you're not competent will most likely result in them disliking you as people tend to gravitate towards people That they can rely on to avoid this try to maintain a clear separation between how you write your formal emails and your casual emails While keeping in mind that adding smiling emojis will not have any real impact on how warm you seem Did you find this video insightful?
