6 traits of your personality that appeal to those around you
Human relationships are built on subtle foundations: a well-placed word, a caring attitude or an attentive ear. Without even realizing it, certain aspects of your personality attract and appease others.
But do you know which ones? Here are six essential traits that appeal to those around you, according to Natalie Moore, a marriage and family therapist interviewed by the HuffPost.
1. Your ability to be accommodating
Being an “easy-going” person is often seen as an invaluable quality. You know how to say “yes” easily, you adapt your desires to those of others and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
But be careful not to forget yourself in the process: expressing your preferences honestly also shows your authenticity, another highly prized quality.
2. Your independence impresses
Not always asking for help is a strength. You manage situations with autonomy, which inspires respect and confidence.
However, admitting your needs and seeking support from those close to you also strengthens your bonds with them.
3. Your loyalty to relationships
Loyalty is a quality that everyone looks for. You are the pillar that your friends and family can rely on, even in difficult times.
But sometimes, knowing how to set boundaries, especially in toxic relationships, is an act of respect for yourself and others.
4. Your ability to forgive
Being lenient and moving past disagreements promotes lighter, lasting relationships. But authentic forgiveness requires not denying your own emotions.
Take the time to analyze your feelings before granting your forgiveness.
5. Your constant availability
Being there to answer a call or message at any time makes you reliable and valued.
However, learning to schedule times when you are unreachable can benefit your well-being, without harming your relationships.
6. Your enthusiasm for social gatherings
Saying “yes” to all invitations can make you a very present and appreciated person. But it is just as important to know how to refuse certain outings to recharge your batteries.
This time for you allows you to come back even more fulfilled in your interactions.
