Because of these things you do unconsciously, people may not like you right away.

It's not that easy, you know, to be loved by your fellow human beings. In fact: we are a bunch of gigantic hate smurfs. Sometimes just one glance is enough to form an opinion about someone. The question is: what do we do without realizing what others find incredibly annoying about us? Well, this for example.

Posting too many photos on Insta

Of course your cat is a gigantic cuddler. Have you been to the Halloween Fright Night and are you baking next-level egg dishes on Sunday mornings while also taking three selfies in between? Definitely do it. But to post everything that weekend immediately? Better not. Research shows that multiple social media photos per day can be harmful to your relationships in real life.

Sharing something very personal at the beginning of the relationship

I recently experienced this myself. I knew the woman in question for exactly half a minute and she told me about at least three traumatic things from her childhood. Sharing personal things is the best way to become friends, but then you better not share something too intimate too quickly. This can make someone like you less. The trick is to be personal without becoming too personal. It's best to share simple details about your hobbies and your favorite childhood memories, then you come across as more likable.

Continuously asking someone questions without sharing anything about yourself

Now we absolutely must not think that sharing personal things automatically creates a bond with another, because that sharing must be mutual. People usually don't like you if you don't share anything about yourself, but the other person does.

But the opposite also applies: continuously talking about yourself without asking the other anything
It's never good with us, huh. Balance, friends, it's all about balance.

By the way, your profile picture can also make you immediately unsympathetic...

Do you have a photo where your head is practically glued to the camera? Bad idea. Research shows that faces photographed at a distance of 45 centimeters from the camera lens are seen as less trustworthy, attractive, and competent than portraits taken at a distance of 135 centimeters.

If you smile little
And no, keeping your face in a smirk all day is of course not doable, but making an extra effort to keep those mouth corners up at that party? Not a bad plan. Additionally: smiling makes someone remember you better when you first meet.

If you boast humbly
Packaging a compliment as a complaint, also known as humble bragging. It's a form of false modesty that we've all pulled at some point during a job interview. For example, the ‘I'm quite a perfectionist’ story.

Someone who engages in humble bragging combines something admirable with surprise or confusion: ‘I don't get it; my cake failed but everyone thought it was delicious.‘ It just comes across as unbelievable and research shows that people simply find you dumber because of it, so just don't do it.
