I’ve learned something important in life — if you want to connect with people, make them feel heard and seen.

People always remember how you made them feel.

If you care for them, show love, and understand them, they’ll connect with you. If not, they might never come back to you.

For example, I really liked the food of one place that was near my home, so I used to visit every two weeks. But the owner wasn’t polite to customers, including me.

I ignored it at first because I liked the food, but eventually, it happened again, and now I don’t want to go back.

Even though the food was delicious, the way they treated me as a customer wasn’t good. It’s been over two months, and I haven’t visited that place.

This experience taught me that kindness is the key to connect with others. So today, I want to share a few simple things that can help you be a kind and cool person.

1. Listen to others

Everything is not about you.

Listen when someone says something, don’t turn the conversation to yourself.
