1. Be yourself. Don't try to be something you aren't. Know who you are, what you are about, and consistently walk in your integrity.
2. Look for the good in everyone; give others the benefit of the doubt.
3. Trust unless you are given a reason not to.
4. Maintain a positive attitude. Attitude is everything. Would you rather be around positive or negative energy?
5. Find common ground by asking questions.
6. Listen.
7. A good sense of humor goes a long way. It makes others feel comfortable and accepted. Besides, it makes life and relationships a lot more fun.
8. Never assume anything. Ask questions or clarify statements.
9. Concentrate on similar interests.
10. Recognize and validate others' strengths.
11. Create trust and goodwill by following through on anything you say you are going to do within your relationships with others.
12. Protect yourself from family and friends that aren't nice to you. You don't have to tolerate toxic people.
