Are you magnetic? I believe you are! But maybe you don’t feel it. We all know that person that others always gravitate towards. Or do you typically worry people will not like you? Below is a fantastic article from psychology educator, Francesca Tighinean. It gives some great suggestions on how to go into a situation and tweak how you approach others and make yourself more approachable. Guess what? It has all to do with showing warmth.

Takeaway for me: “It helps to remember that most of us dramatically overestimate how harshly we’re being judged. Psychologist call this the spotlight effect-the tendency to believe we are far more scrutinized than we actually are. In reality, everyone in the room is too busy worrying about themselves.” Also this: “You could be the most accomplished person in the room, but if people don’t perceive you as warm, they simply won’t want to be around you.”

Here’s a link to the article. I got a lot out of it. I hope you do too. Lmk your thoughts!
