A person is interesting when. Interesting person - who is this? Animals have distinctive features
Meet new people. When meeting a new person (no matter where), the key to enjoying the experience is being willing to listen to what the person has to say. This is one way to get a person to open up to you.
- Even if the new acquaintance is your complete opposite, accept these differences and enjoy the new acquaintance.
- Anyone can teach you something new - the more acquaintances and friends you have, the more knowledge you can acquire. Never regard a new person as unworthy of your attention and time.
- Just say “Hi!”, introduce yourself, and ask the person a question or two. As you get to know the person better, your communication will become more informal.
In your city or region, visit places where you have not been before. Keep an eye out for new fun activities where you live; for example, it could be a folk singing competition or a food festival. Visiting a part of a city or area unknown to you is a new adventure that you can invite your friends to.
- If such events knock you out of your usual rut, then this is even for the better. Think of the new and interesting people you might meet while trying to do something that is absolutely not your thing.
- Invite your friends to try something new with you. Tell them it will be fun.
Get out of your comfort zone. Start learning foreign language, take a long distance run, do something to challenge yourself, and you will surely become a more interesting person. The more knowledge you have and the more active you are, the more experience you will be able to share with other people. Try the following:
Dance, even if you're not good at it. No matter where and how - alone, with a partner or on the dance floor with friends - just dance and enjoy it.
- Pull your hair back, sing a few lines from any song you like, and move your arms and legs to cheer the people around you.
- Encourage people to dance with you. Get your friends who don't like to dance to come on the dance floor with you and show them how much fun it is.
Challenge your fears. If you are afraid of heights, clowns, dogs, or something else, take the time and energy to work on yourself and overcome your fears. You will be surprised at what you are capable of.
- Agree with almost all offers to do something new. If your artist friend or avid hiker suggests you paint something or go camping, be sure to agree, as this is new to you.
- Next time at a party or in a company, find a person who has little in common with you. Be sure to get to know this person to learn something new from him.
- If a host or artist calls for a volunteer during an event, don't be afraid to raise your hand. Sing and dance at the concert of your favorite artist. Wear breathtaking outfits that cheer you up. Sing your favorite song at karaoke, even if you don't have an ear for music. Throw a fun themed party. In a word - have fun!
Artist and blogger Jessica Hagi believes that everyone can be interesting, and mediocrity is the lot of the lazy. She proves it in her book "How to be interesting: 10 easy steps", filled with diagrams and tested on personal experience advice for those who want to develop creativity, learn to take risks and trust themselves.
How to be interesting: 10 easy steps
#1 - Explore
Explore new ideas, places and opinions. Listening only to yourself is the lot of unbearably boring people.
unplug
Without a map, you can find places that are not marked there. By turning off the phone, you can talk to those who meet along the way. miss another portion social media updates and take a look inside yourself. Gadgets tie you to a well-known world. Turn them off and plunge into the unknown.
Take a vacation every day
Let not for long. Walk around the city at dawn. Throw the letter into an unfamiliar mailbox. Read a magazine left by someone at the bus stop. Walk in the rain. Order hot chocolate at an unfamiliar cafe. Use any free minute.
Keep asking "why?"
Parents can't stand it when children torment them with questions. Why? That's why. Why? That's why. Why? That's why. And again, and again. But try it yourself. And you will be surprised how behind a simple “why?” followed by an interesting "because ...".
#2 - Share your findings
Be generous. Not everyone can go with you. Let them experience the same adventures as you.
Take the initiative
Don't put off tomorrow. Speak and do immediately, now. Go where you need to be. Don't wait for an invitation - invite yourself. Do not sit by the phone - call. Spread the word. Click on the buttons. Buy tickets and enjoy the performance.
Talk about the obvious (for you)
What you know is often a mystery to others. Something that is as old as the world for you, someone will seem like a fresh idea. For you the task is simple, for another it is an insurmountable obstacle. Your mind is full of treasures that no one else can see. Bring them out into the light. When ideas are shared, they don't go to waste. On the contrary, they only multiply.
Be the link, not the end point
Don't just talk. Don't just listen. Get to know people. Help strangers. Share what you know. This is how an idea grows like a snowball and eventually turns into an event. Be the nucleus around which the whole community is built.
#3 - Do something. Anything
Dance. Write. Build. Communicate. Play. Help. Create. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do something. Yes, just in case: this is not about "sit and whine".
Make a choice. Any
Can't decide how to manage the current day? With your life? Career? To be honest, it doesn't matter. Even carefully crafted plans fall apart. And to rush about in indecision from one option to another is a sure means of doing nothing in a lifetime. Flip a coin. Spin the bottle. Trust your intuition. And go!
Throw out the trash
Not every job is worth doing. Not every unpleasant job has to be done. Avoid what torments you. If something cannot be avoided in any way (laundry or filing a tax return), do it with pleasure - and when done, put it out of your mind. Make room for what really matters. And really interesting.
Claim your territory
Whatever you do, love what you do. Accept it. Improve in it. Own it. This is the only way to combine a sense of freedom with a sense of security.
#4 - Embrace Your Weirdness
There are no "normal" people in the world. Each has its own characteristics and unique views. Do not hide them from others - that is what makes you an interesting person.
Be yourself in public
When you leave home, be yourself. Be yourself at work. Wear your personality proudly. Don't censor your skills. Don't hide your unique traits. To stand out, you need to have a personality. Only the one who does not hide it from others remains himself.
Stop apologizing
There is nothing wrong with being unique. There is nothing wrong with being different from others. You don't have to apologize for being an interesting person.
Capitalize on your features
What makes you interesting adds value to you. Only you can express what you know, do what you do, and know what you know. And you do not need a huge niche - a piece of land is enough to plant your flag.
#5 - Live Meaningfully
If you don't care about anything, no one will care about you.
Spend money on the right things
Who are you paying? Who pays you? What people and companies are you associated with? Do you agree with their policies, methods and behavior? Do they suit you? If not, you can always make a difference by spending money on something else.
Strive for the best
Ask yourself: is this the best possible? If not, what is it? And get on with getting better.
Put things in order
Give the highest priority to the most important. Everything else takes care of itself.
#6 - Keep It Simple
The ego stands in the way of ideas. If your arrogance is more noticeable than your experience, people will avoid you.
Imagine how much you don't know
Everything you will ever know will be just a microscopic grain of sand compared to the vast, vast universe of information. Let this sobering fact soothe you.
Not everyone needs what you have
Your greatest achievement, no matter how impressive it may seem to you, for someone is a terrible nightmare. Your most valuable possession for someone is just tasteless garbage. Boast more carefully!
Think about how lucky you are
Do you deserve what you have? Perhaps in part. What about what you don't have? Probably not. Recognize the role that coincidence, chance, system processes (and luck, of course) play in our world.
#7 - Try it
Try. Test new ideas. Do something out of the ordinary. You can't grow until you leave your comfort zone.
Recognize your desires
To deny a dream is to kill it in the bud. Don't feel guilty about striving for something. There is nothing wrong with wanting something. Save your guilt in case you don't give yourself the chance to at least try.
Step over your boundaries
Just because you haven't been somewhere doesn't mean you won't like it. Just because something isn't your responsibility doesn't mean you can't do it. It's up to you to decide which league to play in.
Take on the hard things
Know that obstacles will scare away most your competitors. In addition, as a rule, the solution of the most difficult problems brings the most satisfaction in the end.
No. 8 - Get off someone else's rut
You should not do what everyone is already doing - this train left without you. Come up with something of your own, then admirers will be drawn to you.
Squeeze into the niche
The narrower the niche, the less room for imitators. If you want to be interesting, do something special, not ordinary.
Don't chase the ubiquitous
If something is found everywhere, it is not necessarily worthy of praise or participation.
Get noticed
You don't have to be world famous or obscenely rich to be successful. You just have to do what you do best.
#9 - Gather your courage
It takes courage to have an opinion and go the unbeaten path. If you lack courage, it remains to stomp around the cooler and discuss those who have it in abundance.
Raise a riot
If you suddenly find yourself working on something meaningless or fruitless, stop immediately. Don't fight for something you don't see value in. You will be surprised how many people will support your protest.
Avoid authority
Don't be afraid of friction
You don't want to be forced. You don't like to make waves. You dare not ask for what you need. But you will have to overcome yourself.
#10 - Ignore the swearing
It's safe to be boring. As you become interesting, you will often hear the angry “behave yourself.” Those who scold you also “could”, “would like”, “would do”. But they didn't. And so they are infuriated by your readiness for adventure.
Don't put yourself down
Learn from everyone
You can learn how not to live from the scum you come across. You can learn how to live from people you respect and love. Count it all scientific research features of human behavior.
Do not confuse ridicule and criticism
Structurally, only what can be used for self-improvement.

Everyone would like, probably, to become an interesting person. The person with whom they want to communicate, who they ask for advice, who they listen to and enjoy spending time with. We want to be in demand and achieve recognition and attention. This is a normal human desire. “The most curious thing is that now everyone is talking a lot: you need to read a lot, develop, kill your inner demons, but for some reason no one talks? how to do it?!" one reader asked. I dare to answer her question...What is an interesting person?
Firstly, for myself, it seems to me, it is worth deciding on the concept of "interesting personality." What do you mean by this concept? Who would you be interested in talking to? After all, we are all very different. And it may seem to someone that a person who has achieved success is incredible. As my reader says: “For example, my neighbor is a mathematician, laureate Nobel Prize, smartest person! And what should I talk to him about? About mathematics? What if I don't understand it? That's it! It is not a fact that an outstanding mathematician will be an ideal interlocutor for you and will, in fact, be an interesting person for everyone. Here it is necessary to approach differentiated. After all, we each have our own interests.Perhaps the first thing to do is to decide on your own priorities. Understand who you are. What do you like, what do you enjoy, what are you fond of, what are you happy about, what do you know how to do, what do you want to learn? Exactly you! Not the majority of people who are considered charismatic, smart, interesting... Namely you! And so, when you understand yourself, work in this direction.
Because you can be interesting to others only when you become interesting to yourself. That is, you will achieve in your own individual development his own high level. No comparison with others. Therefore, it is impossible to come up with universal advice here. Everything is very individual.
Read those books that you like, resonate with you. Find them. Try to listen to the advice of smart people, find lists and ratings of the most successful books, films, websites, etc. But do not accept them unconditionally, because in this case, they will not become part of your worldview and will not help you grow in your own individual space. Someone loves Pelevin, and someone with with great difficulty given by Palahniuk. Some consider Coelho a genius, others a successful businessman from literature and a plagiarist. How many people - so many opinions. Find your limits and strive for perfection in them.
If you can’t be a ballerina, don’t torture yourself and the mirror, become an artist, musician, communicator, needlewoman, volunteer, politician, journalist… Each of us has our own path. To become an interesting person, you need to find it.
Follow your path
Secondly, follow your path. Whatever she is. Joyful, sad, heavy, light... It will never be what you plan and invent. There are always surprises and options. If a person is attached to a mandatory set of life expectations, then he will certainly be in the cold. Life will definitely disappoint him, poke him with his nose, hit him on the head ... What else can she do there? But if you treat these surprises as the normal and natural order of things, then they may not be the cause of your disappointment, but only the ladder of growing up. After all, everything that happens to us is our path, our choice, our lessons that we must learn. Just accept them and think, think carefully about why this is happening to you. And you will definitely find the answer. Once you find it, the same problems will stop repeating in your life. You seem to climb a new step to step higher and higher. Think with your head and listen with your heart
Thirdly, think constantly. Better yet, feel what is happening to you. Pass it through the surest filter that is in each of us. This filter gives unmistakable answers to all questions. But not everyone knows how to use it. This filter is called the heart. Sometimes another organ interferes with its work. Head! My opponent asks: “...think...about what? About how to seduce Vasya from a neighboring entrance, or about the meaning of life? Yes about everything! Just mindlessly existing, going with the flow, not caring about anything, not attaching to anything, not thinking about anything, is also a way out. But it is a bit like the life of an amoeba.Although, according to the latest scientific discoveries, we have no idea about real life amoeba. After all, she lives according to some other laws unknown to us. Apparently, God gave us a brain for some purpose, in order for us to learn how to use it. Otherwise, why do we need a head?
Getting your brain in tune with your heart is no easy task. Not always feasible, especially when you are completely dependent on factors external environment of their habitat. Your heart tells you to send your boss away, and the conditions of survival advise you to obey and, having washed yourself with mud, follow his idiotic orders. That's how we live. Between heart and mind. But there are options. You can obey the circumstances stupidly and thoughtlessly, because everyone does it. And you can approach the process creatively, giving yourself a mental account of what you are doing and why you are doing it. That is, determine for yourself ...
Determine why you want it
Fourth, it is worth determining the price of the issue. Why do you need it? What do you want to achieve in this way? To be an interesting person in order to easily seduce Vasya from a neighboring house or in order to talk on an equal footing with a Nobel Prize winner? Or maybe becoming an interesting person is the main factor in your professional growth. Or the path to glory? Then answer, why do you need glory? She gives a lot of money, security, love to people? Is it? When you carefully study, including brains and hearts, you suddenly realize that you do not need to be that interesting person for everyone that you came up with. Because you don’t need this interview, publicity, an additional headache associated with wealth, maintaining ratings, maintaining the level of well-being ... All these are chains, shackles that gradually and imperceptibly kill a living person in you, turning you into an advertising toy in the hands of unscrupulous journalists. Do you need it?
In general, what is success? The ability to have a lot of money and not hesitate to buy what you want? What do you really want? Have you ever thought about it for more than five minutes? If you spend three times five minutes, you can come to stunning conclusions. You will surprise yourself. You write: “Interest is 100% success!” Not a fact! Gaddafi also aroused interest, but whether he was successful is the question.
It seems to me that real success is finding balance in this chaotic aggressive world. States when, despite all the troubles and difficulties of your crazy existence among cars and sellers of everything and everything, you are able to rejoice that you are alive, you can love and feel that the sun is shining and birds are singing. To learn this harmonious perception of life, despite all its cruel and unfair surprises, is to become an interesting person, that is, to achieve success not in the general ranking of the endless competition of everyone with everyone, but within the limits of one's own individual Universe.
