4. Bragging About Your Achievements

Confidence is a great quality, but constantly boasting about your successes can come across as self-centered and insecure. People are more likely to respect you when your actions and accomplishments speak for themselves rather than being loudly announced. Genuine humility makes you more relatable and likable. Instead of talking about yourself all the time, show interest in others’ experiences and achievements. A person who listens and acknowledges others’ contributions gains far more respect than someone who is always seeking admiration.
