[Summary]9 things you're doing that make people dislike you immediately

Shana Lebowitz / Reporter, Strategy

Have you ever face the situations of your friend being unfriendly suddenly or you can feel that they dislike you apparently even if you think that you were close friends before? The items bellow may give you the answer. This article rounded up some of the most common social turn-offs online and in person, such as :

1.     Sharing too many photos on Facebook :

This is because people, other than very close friends and relatives, don't seem to relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves

2.     Having too many or too few Facebook friends:
Results showed that the "sweet spot" for likability was about 300 friends. If you have too many friends may appear to be focusing too much on Facebook, friending out of desperation rather than popularity.

3.     Disclosing something extremely personal early on in a relationship:

disclosing something too intimate while you're still getting to know someone can make you seem insecure and decrease your likability. The key is simply sharing details about your hobbies and your favorite childhood memories can make you seem warmer and more likable.

4.     Asking someone questions without talking about yourself at all:

self-disclosure has to be mutual. People generally like you less if you don’t reciprocate when they disclose something intimate.

5.     Posting a close-up profile photo:

Research suggests that faces photographed from just 45 centimeters — about 1.5 feet — away are considered less trustworthy, attractive, and competent than faces photographed from 135 centimeters, about 4.5 feet, away.

6.     Hiding your emotions:

Research suggests that letting your real feelings come through is a better strategy for getting people to like you than bottling it all up.

7.     Acting too nice:

Acting nice might make you looked unselfish, but it also make teammates or coworkers look bad or suspected that you had ulterior motives occasionally.

8.     Humblebragging:

Independent research assistants said they'd be more likely to hire the participants who were honest, and found them significantly more likable.

Another alternative is to talk about weaknesses that don't directly relate to the job — for example, a fear of public speaking if you're applying for a writing position.

9.     Getting too nervous:

Experiment Results showed that participants rated the women lower on all measures,like how competent, confident, and trustworthy they seemed, when they smelled the stress-induced sweat. When they smelled the stress sweat that had been covered up with antiperspirant, they rated the women more positively.

Read on and see which ones you've been guilty of. In fact, most of them don't require much effort.
