Status

Have you ever walked in a room and noticed how there is always someone who seems like he owns the place and has a lot of people around him? Or how about that person everyone seems to avoid? What's the biggest difference between these two? Aren't they normal human beings? Don't they deserve similar "love" from others? Actually, no. You see, one of the most important things that set the tone for how others interact with us is social status. And what is social status, you wonder? Well, without getting in too deep on the subject, I’ll just say it's the combination of your social skills, sense of humor and your ability to keep people interested in you. So, logically, everybody wants to be around someone they PERCEIVE as high status. That’s right, perceive. The beauty of this is that you CAN make others BELIEVE your high status, even if your not.
Beware, though, that being thought of as low status will pretty much “kill” your social life…And I’m pretty sure you know how that feels like…So, all this sounds simple…right folks? Well, to some extent it is. If you practice your skills long enough, there’ll come the time when you’ll see yourself surrounded by people who really wanna be like you. And then, what are you gonna do, laugh at or smile upon the “misfit”?
