The Best Way to Become Popular

Hello, I'm Maru.

Through my experience of changing from being super negative, I share secrets for living comfortably and ways to gain your own sense of self.

People who are liked by everyone, regardless of gender, are
enviable, aren't they?

I used to think that popular people
had a special ability to attract others,
but I've realized that's not the case.

However, it seems that this invisible ability is something
everyone possesses.

I've recently come to understand that the difference is simply whether or not
you are making the effort to develop that ability.

What kind of person do you think
a popular person is?

"It's fun to be with this person!"
"I feel energized when I'm with this person!"

I think it's someone who makes others feel that way,
don't you?

It's not about having special skills;
rather, I believe your popularity increases
if you can make the person in front of you happy.

So, what should you do to achieve that?

It's the "Game of Being Thanked 4 Times a Day"
that I learned from Ryoyan.
(*Please read here for details.)

To be told "thank you,"
making the other person happy
is an absolute prerequisite.

When you make the person in front of you happy,
your popularity goes up, doesn't it?

You are essentially learning that
by treating it like a game.

This game not only increases your own value,
but it also comes with the incredibly wonderful bonus
of becoming a popular person.

I've been doing this for two and a half months now,
and I'm really glad I did.
(I was in a happy state last month, too.)

You might think that being thanked 4 times a day is easy,
but since many Japanese people say "I'm sorry" instead,
it's surprisingly difficult.

I thought I was making them happy,
but sometimes there's no reaction at all.

Even at times like that,
since it's a game, I don't get discouraged;
I'm able to switch gears and think,
"Let's try a different approach!"

If you want to boost your self-esteem,
if you want to improve your relationships,
or if you want to become popular,
please give this a try!

Thank you for reading
until the end.
