We know how it feels to be completely invisible in a group setting. Whether it’s because you’re shy or introverted or just new to the scene, not being noticed can be frustrating. But don’t worry, there are ways to make sure people remember you. You should give these tips a try to break out from your shell and be remembered for all the right reasons.
Brand Yourself
People like to label things because it helps them remember something. For example, when you think about Conan O’Brien, you immediately associate him with funny or quirky. Of course, you would want to be associated with good character traits, so how about making introducing yourself like how James Bond would?
Doing this will make you stand out among the masses because other people will associate you with James Bond or funny.
Be Authentic
One way to make people remember you is by being yourself. It sounds simple, but it’s true. People are more likely to remember someone who is genuine and authentic than someone who is trying to be someone they’re not. We have too many people pretending to be rich, to be a player, to be a tough guy, and so on. So relax, be yourself, and let your personality shine through.
Be Interested
If you want people to remember you, then show that you’re interested in them. Ask them questions about themselves and actually listen to the answers. People love talking about themselves, so by doing this, you’re not only showing that you’re interested in them but also giving them a chance to talk about themselves.
So, don’t always focus on being the center of attention or making every discussion about yourself, but try to actually listen for once and let others say what they have in mind. Give compliments occasionally because people always remember someone who makes them feel good about themselves.
Be Memorable
And last but not least, be memorable. This doesn’t mean that you have to do something outrageous or crazy (although that would certainly help). But it does mean that you should try to leave a lasting impression on the people you meet.
Try to find a joke in difficult situations to make the atmosphere lighter or try to make a gesture of kindness to people, like giving them flowers for their birthday or Starbucks’ grande latte when they’re at work. All of these things will be appreciated and will definitely make you be noticed. So go out there and make some memories.
