Do you find that people dislike you because you think you're superior to everyone else? If you want to come off as a more likeable person, follow these steps.
1. Think before you speak. If you're about to say something that makes it seem like you think you're better or smarter than the other person, don't say it.
2. Avoid preachy mannerisms. Don't talk like every word you say deserves to be cataloged in the archives of mankind for all eternity.
3.Don't hide the master document. It makes you seem like you don't want the 'lesser' members of your group touching it. While this may not be an issue to most pretentious people, the ones who do this tend to be extremely annoying to the people who cannot find the document.
4.Don't approach every idea like its brilliant.
5. Don't act like you're the boss of everyone. It tends to be exhausting for everyone around you.
6. And most important of all: have some humility. As your, for example, magazine layout may be beautiful, you don't have to put down others. Just because you like one particular thing does not mean your opinion and yours alone is right. Keep an open mind because other people can have good ideas too.
