- [Annoucer] Hi, Psych2Goers.
Have you ever wondered what makes a person attractive?
It might just be their magnetic personality.
This means that they hold certain qualities
that instantly make
the people around them feel acknowledged,
respected, and welcomed.
Curious to know how they do it?
(upbeat music)
Here are nine personality traits that make you magnetic.
Number one, they are present.
Magnetic people have the distinct trait
of always being present and living in the moment.
Because of this, they can make you feel seen,
heard, important and appreciated.
And according to an article on FacileThings,
a person who is present is more likely to have high levels
of productivity, creativity,
and a better ability to make decisions.
The article adds that people
who can focus their attention on the now are more flexible,
can easily overcome workday stress,
and restore order after a chaotic situation.
Enjoy getting things done, make better decisions,
have better relationships and produce more.
Number two, they are vulnerable.
Have you noticed that you feel more connected
to people who show their vulnerability to you?
This is because being vulnerable takes strength,
and it shows that you're able to recognize,
and accept yourself for who you truly are
which is an attractive quality to have.
Other benefits of being vulnerable according
to Eugene Therapy is that it helps you build empathy,
strengthens your ability to work through your emotions,
strengthens your resiliency,
and it helps cultivate stronger bonds with others.
Number three, they are genuine and authentic.
Have you ever wondered why people
who are genuine are attractive?
In an article for Psychology Today,
licensed psychology, Guy Winch PhD,
states that there are three reasons why genuine,
and authentic people are more appealing than fake people.
The first one is truth and honesty.
According to Winch,
"We are more likely to trust a genuine person
than a fake one
because we believe those who are true to themselves
are also likely to be truer and more honest with us.
The second reason is that you associate being genuine
with being strong in character,
and being emotionally resilient,
and correctly so", says Winch.
As being true to herself takes confidence, tenacity,
and often even bravery.
The final reason is that people are normally attracted
to uniqueness and individuality.
"Qualities genuine people usually
have in spades", says winch.
Number four, they have a good sense of humor.
Can you make others laugh a lot?
While laughter can open the doors to people,
and relationships by putting them at ease to be more open,
it can also depend on the type of humor.
Humor that is self-depreciating, critical,
judgemental and meant to humiliate others
can push people away as no one likes to be made
to feel worthless.
This is why people with magnetic personalities tend
to distance themselves from this type of negative humor,
and instead focus on humor that makes people feel good
about themselves and which uplifts the people around them.
Number five, they're creative.
Ever wonder why creative people can touch others
with their art?
Creative people can see from different perspectives,
and empathize with all parts of different people.
They understand new ideas and concepts
that make others feel seen.
Their open-mindedness can also make it
so that they don't judge others
for their beliefs or feelings.
Instead, they can make you feel like you're not alone
in the world.
This comforting nonjudgmental attitude and validation,
creates a place where people can feel safe and seen.
Anyone with these qualities is automatically magnetic
because of the radical acceptance they offer to everyone.
Number six, they're naturally curious.
Are you curious about the world and the people around you?
According to an article in the Greater Good Magazine,
curiosity can help foster closeness and protect you
from negative social experiences.
The article states that people who are curious,
make other people feel closer to them,
can cope better with rejection, are less aggressive,
and foster more positive social experiences.
Number seven, healthy optimism.
Optimism usually attracts people because in a sense,
it gives hope.
Psychologist, Elizabeth Scott PhD says
in an article that "For people who are optimists,
negative events are more likely to roll up their back,
while positive events affirm their belief in themselves,
their ability to make good things happen now,
and in the future and the goodness of life."
This view of life according to Scott,
benefits the believer in various ways.
For example, studies have shown that optimistic people
have better health, have more achievements,
don't give up easily, have better emotional health,
are more likely to positively handle futures set backs,
live longer and have less stress.
Number eight, good communicators.
Are you good at communicating?
Magnetic people are able to actively listen,
and pay attention to others and what they have to say
to make sure they feel heard.
The one thing states that making others feel welcomed,
and exuding the ability to get things done attracts people.
Magnetic people do not only know how
to communicate using words,
but also with their body language and personal energy.
They're also good observers and can detect changes
in other people's body language and tone of voice.
This makes them good people readers who can act
in accordance with what they perceive.
And number nine, well-versed and knowledgeable.
Because of their curiosity,
magnetic people tend to research,
and know about last amounts of topics.
This helps them interact and connect with a variety
of different people.
Having a vast amount of knowledge over a subject,
also signals how well-versed and interested they are
in the world around them.
It also makes them less prone to fall for a lie,
and more able to keep up with varying types of conversation.
