Appearing Confident

Making people like you is important, and the best way to do this is to appear confident.

If you end up at someone's apartment, and as you walk in, there are a lot of people sitting around looking at you, there's one important thing to do.

Sit down.

Find a seat, and sit in it right away. Even if it's the arm of a chair, just sit down. If you sit down right away, people will think, "Ah, who's this character? He seems confident."

If there are no seats, sit on the floor, in a convenient space, facing the on-going conversation. This way, people will think, "Ah, this guy seems really comfortable in this situation."

If there is no floor-space, lean against a wall. Cross your legs at the ankles if possible.

Not only will it make you look more confident, it will make you feel more confident.

If there's nowhere to sit, and all the wall-space is already being leaned on, start dancing. There will invariably be music. If you dance to the music, regardless of whether or not you hate the music, people will think, "Man, look how laid back that guy is!"

Try it. It will work.
