Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this phrase, “the way to win me over is,” and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. I started by just thinking about it, you know? Like, what actually wins me over? I’m not talking about grand gestures, but the little things.
My Little Experiment
First, I brainstormed. I grabbed a notebook and just started jotting down anything that came to mind. Some of it was silly, some serious. I ended up with a list that looked something like this:
- Genuine kindness (not the fake stuff)
- A good sense of humor (make me laugh!)
- Actually listening when I talk (it’s not that hard, people)
- Shared interests (gotta have something to talk about)
- Being passionate about something (doesn’t matter what, just care about it)
Then, I decided to be more mindful in my day-to-day interactions. I paid closer attention to how people behaved and how it made me feel. I noticed that small acts of consideration, like someone holding a door open or offering a sincere compliment, really stuck with me.
I also tried to be more “winnable,” if that makes sense. I made an effort to be more open and receptive to people, giving them the benefit of the doubt and trying to see the good in them.
What I Found is…
It’s the consistency, though. You can hold all the doors you want, but if you’re a jerk the rest of the time, it’s not going to work. I realized I am all about people, and that’s the best way.
It was a fun little experiment! I think I’m a little closer to understanding what really matters to me in other people. And maybe, just maybe, I’m a little easier to “win over” now, too. Who knows!
