Speak Less
Mystery is a thing. And too many of us show our cards right from the get-go.
It’s best not to spill the beans and tell your life story. People tend to gravitate towards the quiet person in the room because they’re wondering what they have going on. People want to know what they’re thinking.
Speak clearly and concisely but hold back some details about yourself.
If someone says “I enjoy watermelon” you don’t have to pipe up and say “me too”.
Simply be happy that you’ve learned a detail about another person yet you still remain interesting.
This technique especially works when things are going well for you.
People are quite perceptive to others who are confident yet quiet.
By not elaborating on our success or the good things going on in our life we convey to others that our life seems normal and is nothing to get excited about. This again makes us seem interesting.
Dress Differently
Everyone knows that how we dress and present ourselves has a lot to do with first impressions.
However, when it comes to being more interesting there are little things we can do to stand out.
For women this could be:
A unique accessory
A unique hairstyle
Daring makeup
Unusual shoes
For men this could be:
Wearing the same outfit every day
A unique piercing or tattoo
Unique facial hair
An accessory native to a foreign country
Come up with a different and stand out look to appear more interesting. Create your own style and wear it with confidence.
Better yet, dress in a way that has an interesting story behind your choice of clothing.
Have Things Going On
Get some things going on in your life.
Take a class, go out with friends, start a blog, find an adventure, or perhaps some part-time work.
No matter what, it’s important to experience life.
Take the time to keep up with what’s going on in the world. Things like world news, sports, and other common topics of conversation are key.
The important thing here is to stay relevant and have things to talk about.
Learn to tell personal stories in a way that captivates people and keeps them interested. And most importantly make sure your stories are interesting.
Gain Knowledge
If you want to be a more interesting person you’re going to need knowledge.
Having technical or useful knowledge makes people valuable and interesting.
Read books and websites and learn new things. Learn off-topic or out of the box ideas from other’s perspectives.
Continuous learning helps us gain a different perspective on the world and gives us interesting points of view along with new things to talk about.
Gain New Experiences
Travel, fall in love, get your heartbroken, eat weird foods, and explore odd religions. Find interesting things to do that are out of your comfort zone.
It really doesn’t matter what you decide to explore but gaining new experiences makes our lives interesting which makes us interesting as well.
Find Meaningful Work
Some of the most interesting people out there are unique because they have a purpose.
Whether it’s for pay, or simply for fun, it’s important to have a purpose.
Find a cause or a project that you’re passionate about. It could be art, writing, health and fitness, or volunteering.
Meaningful work is what gives us fire and excites us. It helps create a life that’s lived on purpose.
Make it your mission and occasionally spread the word.
Be The Exception To The Rule
We’ve all met that person whom we perceive in a certain way.
The tough-looking muscular guy who was actually quite intelligent or the nerdy girl that ended up having a serious wild side.
Being the exception to the rule is an instant way to stand out and be unforgettable.
Quick story.
I used to own a towing company and I would often drive the trucks myself. Now we all know the stigma of tow truck drivers. In the movies, they’re typically dumb, toothless, greasy, and looking to rip you off.
Imagine people’s surprise when I was clean-cut, well-spoken, and could hold an intelligent conversation. Looking back it’s funny but It wasn’t uncommon for people to ask me what I was doing driving a tow-truck.
In their eyes, I was the exception to the rule.
Being the exception to the rule makes a person interesting and memorable all at the same time.
And when two parts of someone’s personality don’t exactly fit together it creates an oddity that makes people curious about what that person is all about.
More Tips
Gain knowledge of local history
Practice socializing to get better
Know the local hotspots and best places to eat
Don’t take things too seriously and have a “fun side”
Spend time with interesting people
Use unique words and vocabulary
Consistently experiment with your routine
Final Notes
Becoming an interesting person is really about living an interesting life.
Yes, there are a few tactics that can make someone seem more interesting on the outside but it takes actual work to be authentic.
There is no fake it til you make it if you truly want to be a more interesting person.
