We don't often think about this question ourselves but friends, co-workers or relatives might have told us things like these before.

But we do, through our social interactions or time spent with others, have a sense of whether we think others like us or not. And if you do think they like you or appreciate and enjoy your company, why is that? Do you think you have traits or there are factors that help win people over?

Just one? I think for me it's a combo of them all.

So, all of the above!

Same here, maybe more of some and less of others.

I think I have many good traits, easygoing is a strong second. But just in general, my sense of humor often relaxes and disarms people quickly.

1. Always have something nice to say...
2. Don't tell them how to do things.

Do you know how RARE that is?

Leave people feeling good after being with you.

Certain types of people are drawn to me, and they tend to be the sort of people I like very much. It's a combo of charisma, humor and approachability. I admit I am not the kind of friend that is going to call you to check in or remember your birthday. I am not a "nurturer." People still dig me though!

One of your options not listed up there is I treat people how I wanted to be treated. I want to be treated and expect the same. But I agree with the others that I have a combo of all of the above.

If it's a combination of some traits, which ones are they? And which one do you think is the most important trait that draws people to you?
