Being likable is entirely under your control. All it takes is the ability to pick up a few key social skills that build emotional intelligence (EQ).
To help you out, we sifted through the Quora thread, "What are useful social skills that can be picked up quickly?" and highlighted our favorite answers.
Here are seven simple ways to start crafting a "million-dollar personality" and be the most likable person in the room:
1. Make eye contact.
"It is an idiotically simple thing, but it remains one of the most impactful life hacks around," writes Quora user Brad Porter. "The most attractive quality in a person is confidence. But 'be confident' is not very good advice. Instead, find the best proxy for confidence, in terms of interactive behavior. And that's eye contact."
Start this habit immediately, says Porter. It requires no practice or special skill; just the commitment to meet someone's gaze and look them in the eye while conversing.
