TutorTrivia - How To Be Interesting

Have you ever just looked at a person and felt that he or she was an interesting person? We’ve all sensed that from time to time. The person may not even need to say anything to get you curious
about him or her. There are some characteristics you can cultivate that can make you come across as an interesting person!

Gooey Eyes! Eyes have long been important to people. Without them, communication relies strictly on sound. Good eye contact makes all the difference in communication. Gooey eyes mean visualizing your eye contact with people like sticky toffee being peeled off a surface. Look at the person normally, and keep your eye contact just a little longer than you normally would. When breaking eye contact, peel your eyes off the person before looking down or to the side, and away from him or her. Peel your eyes off them like sticky toffee.

Posture is also important. Excellent posture shows you to be interesting without having to do anything! You are instantly able to see someone’s confidence, and perhaps even success, by the way a person carries himself. Focus on being erect, coming off as a strong stable structure.
