Proven: the most popular people are also a bit mean

If you want to fit in a bit better with the group, you might as well not be overly sweet and nice. Instead, just be a little bit bad..

Because research shows that the most popular people are often a bit dominant and even mean. It turns out you have the most friends when you’re not just nice and fun, but when people are also a little bit afraid of you. When you’re just brutally honest. Always say what you think. When you stand up for yourself, are a bit cheeky, well, you get it. But you still remain friendly. You’re not just fierce and strict, that’s not how it works either. Be nice, but also radiate a bit of power. Have a bit of strength in your shoes to stand, that idea.

Success lies in being liked by everyone but also in getting your way. In short: you get away with getting what you want. And getting what you want makes you more loved again, because then you have things that others might not have. You always remain nice, but you also know what you want in life, which earns you respect from people. It seems easy, but try it once. Always friendly, but a bit self-assured and standing up for your own opinion., maar ook in je zin krijgen. Kortom: je komt goed weg met het krijgen wat je wilt. En dat je krijgt wat je wilt, maakt je ook weer meer geliefd, want zo heb je dingen die anderen misschien niet hebben. Je blijft altijd aardig, maar je weet ook wat je wilt in het leven, waardoor mensen je respecteren. Het lijkt makkelijk, maar doe het maar eens. Altijd vriendelijk, maar een beetje zelfverzekerd en voor je eigen mening staan.
