Most of the time we accept the age-old adage…
Life is about who you know.

But it’s not actually about who you know,
it’s about who likes you.

Let’s dive into some quick tips to help you build your social skills habits.

Eye Contact
The key to eye contact is dealing with the tension – the feeling you get when you
hold eye contact with someone and have to look away out of discomfort.
![Page 8: Who Likes You? 5 Tips to Build the Social Skills Habit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042618/588770d81a28ab22358b6671/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
There’s no substitute for tackling eye contact tension besides exposure to it. Grab a pair of sunglasses and head outside to an area with foot traffic.

Position yourself so that you are facing oncoming traffic. Put your sunglasses on and stare into people’s eyes as they walk
by, remembering that they can’t see you.

HPM - History, Philosophy, Metaphor
HPM ensures that you will never run out of things to say, and will
inject life back into any conversation.
![Page 11: Who Likes You? 5 Tips to Build the Social Skills Habit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042618/588770d81a28ab22358b6671/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sometimes in conversation we flat out run out of things to say.
![Page 12: Who Likes You? 5 Tips to Build the Social Skills Habit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042618/588770d81a28ab22358b6671/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
These 3 elements are things literally everyone has. They will prompt a
personal response from others and perhaps they will share their own HPM.

Know Your Stories
When talking with acquaintances or friends, certain conversation patterns
arise, and you actually know most of them already.
![Page 14: Who Likes You? 5 Tips to Build the Social Skills Habit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042618/588770d81a28ab22358b6671/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Do your work beforehand and construct short mini-stories for each of the questions you know you’ll be asked.
![Page 15: Who Likes You? 5 Tips to Build the Social Skills Habit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042618/588770d81a28ab22358b6671/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
When someone asks a question about you, rarely do they want to know the
specific answer – they just want to hear something interesting about you.
![Page 16: Who Likes You? 5 Tips to Build the Social Skills Habit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042618/588770d81a28ab22358b6671/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Be Intensely Curious
Being curious about someone means wanting to know about their motivations, intentions,
hopes, dreams.

Fortunately, people love expounding on these aspects of themselves.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people
than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

Reacting verbally or through your facial expressions are the music to a
conversation’s soundtrack.
React!
![Page 20: Who Likes You? 5 Tips to Build the Social Skills Habit](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042618/588770d81a28ab22358b6671/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
If reactions are removed, the scene still functions, but it feels oddly empty and disconnected.

A conversation is a two-way street.Let people know what’s on your mind
because they can’t read it.
