3 Points on How to Become Someone Younger People Are Drawn To

One of my special skills is being someone that younger people are drawn to.

I hadn't been conscious of this myself, but someone pointed it out to me at one point, and I recently realized it's true.

Why am I easily liked by younger people?

I will introduce the secret to that in three points.

1. Don't think of them as younger

I think this is the number one point.

Yes, age doesn't matter. I treat people more than a decade younger than me just like my peers, without any particular awareness of the age gap.

I didn't grow up in a sports-oriented environment, and I think my background of not being very conscious of hierarchical relationships plays a part as well.

When you treat people as equals rather than looking at them through the lens of age, you can get to know them without being constrained by that, and you can become good friends.

2. Listen with interest

This is important.

Never look down on them just because they are younger or have less experience than you; instead, listen to what they have to say with respect and genuine curiosity.

Anyone is happy when someone listens to them enthusiastically.

I honestly and purely want to know about the other person. I want to become better friends with them.

I communicate with the person in front of me with those feelings in mind.

3. Praise, praise, praise

Just praise them!

It's simply nice to be praised, isn't it?

That can become a source of power and motivation to move forward.

The ultimate technique that anyone can give for free as much as they want is to praise!

I think people who are good at giving compliments, regardless of the other person's age, are the ones who become well-liked by others.

The person I respect also instantly senses the best words to say at the exact moment the person in front of them will be happiest, and delivers them.

I would be happy if the secrets I keep in mind for being liked by younger people are even a little bit helpful to you.
