When you tell people they are good, they become better. When you search for what\u2019s good, you feel great.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Edwards states that engaging people in conversation, encouraging them to talk about themselves, and elevating them by boosting their strong points makes them feel good. She recommends pointing out people\u2019s positive qualities, showing enthusiasm when they\u2019re excited, and bragging about them when you introduce them to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Vulnerability is sexy\u2014it shows we are relatable, honest, and real. That is attractive. And the science proves it: \u201cA blunder tends to humanize him and, consequently, increases his attractiveness.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Edwards asserts that, when you show your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-find-your-true-self\/\">true self<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/being-vulnerable\/\">being vulnerable<\/a>, other people find you more likable, human, and relatable. She acknowledges that it can be hard to be vulnerable because nobody likes making mistakes and looking silly in front of other people. However, Van Edwards cites research that shows the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We\u2019re more aware of our flaws than other people because our self-centeredness gives us a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/acceptance-of-reality\/\">distorted perception<\/a> of what others think of us.<\/li><li>Making mistakes causes others to see us as more likable and attractive.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Most people\u2019s choices make sense to them. When they don\u2019t make sense to you, it\u2019s usually because you are being driven by a different primary value.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Edwards asserts that each of us values and prioritizes one resource need above all others and that this resource drives our behavior. When you know which resource people value most, you can use that to motivate them, make them feel validated, and strengthen your relationship with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>With a first impression, you are a Triple Threat when you use your hands, your posture, and your eye contact. These are the three nonverbal weapons you can use to pass through all three levels of trust.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Edwards asserts that people decide whether they trust and like us before we even speak, so it\u2019s critical to make both happen immediately. She says you can increase the likelihood of a positive first interaction by making three simple adjustments to your physical behavior:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use your hands to demonstrate that you\u2019re trustworthy. Keep your hands visible to show that you\u2019re not hiding anything, gesture to show your intent, and give a firm handshake, which releases the connection hormone, oxytocin.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/stand-up-straight-with-your-shoulders-back-jordan-peterson-rule-1\/\">Stand up straight with your shoulders back<\/a> and chest out to project confidence.<\/li><li>Maintain eye contact in 60 to 70 percent of your interactions to cultivate trust, demonstrate your interest in the other person, and produce oxytocin.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>When you produce dopamine during a conversation, you not only give your partner more enjoyment, you are also assigned more significance, which increases your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-remember-something\/\">memorability<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Edwards explains that we\u2019re most compelling to others when we\u2019re unscripted in conversations because novelty triggers activity in the part of the brain responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/importance-of-memory-in-learning\/\">memory and learning<\/a> and is linked to dopamine pathways that arouse pleasure and fuel interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are some of the best Captivate quotes?
