Listen with the intention of laughing

If you're not the talkative type, you can still make people love being around you just by being a likable listener. One fantastic habit for making conversation more fun for yourself and for making people like you is to listen with the intention of laughing.

Sometimes the thing that makes people like you most is not when you are funny but when you make them feel funny watch
