11 behaviours that make people respect you more

I’ve learned a lot about human behaviour through years of awkwardness. People don’t need to know very much about you to make a snap judgement about the kind of person you are. You can take advantage of this by making a few subtle shifts in your everyday behaviour. These will improve the perception people have of you: <h1>1. Sharpen up your physical appearance.</h1> We can’t change how we came out of the womb, but we can maximise our appearance. There’s a reason you feel better after a haircut or a manicure. What does it say about you? Looking at a body we like in the mirror makes a difference. We might claim that caring about how we look is shallow, but deep down you know it’s key, and will alter the perception others have of you greatly. That’s nature. It’s reality. Your resistance to this will keep you miserable. <h1>2. Emotional control.</h1> If you are quick to react with anger, you lose respect. Avoiding this is to nurture what I call ‘the Gap.’ Reactive people have tiny gaps, meaning they don’t create any space between a triggering stimulus and their emotional response. Non-reactive people command tremendous respect because they have nurtured gaps wide enough to allow any tension in themselves to dissipate. <a href="https://iamalexmathers.medium.com/11-behaviours-that-make-people-respect-you-more-2676d2d7a157">Learn More</a>
