Some people have that thing, that natural quality that makes them innately likable. They make friends wherever they go and blend in with whatever crowd they’re with.

These people are likable. People who are liked tend to be promoted faster at work, live more active social lives, and are happier in general.

Upon completion of this article, I realized that most people have at least one of these 7 qualities.

If you don’t have some of these traits, never fear! Most of these attributes can be learned and honed. Personability is a learnable skill. Some people are just lucky enough to be born with it.

I love to observe people, I find it interesting. I like to sit back and watch how people interact in social settings. I love how each person has their own quirks and individual personalities. People are interesting.

Through these observations, I have come up with 7 traits that likable people have in common:

1. They are good at greeting others

People who are personable smile upon greeting you. Smiles are nice, they give us the “warm and fuzzies”, and they entice us to return the favor.
