I think becoming willing to see your faults and wanting to improve them is the first step by listening to others who are real with you and not just critical. You can learn alot about yourself from someone that really knows you , you just have to listen. Listening is a great skill ! growing up, being accountable even when you do not want to be, accepting failure and learning from them and wanting to help those in need are great builing blocks. when you see how good you have it compared to others you start changing your opinion about how you treat and see others. when you have a genuine concern for others well being is when you know you are on a good path.

There isn't a magic formula you can follow. To improve your personality you need to see what you want to change. The change has to come from your mind and heart to be genuine, otherwise the facade will break down in certain situations. A person who asks this question is usually real nice and kind and thoughtful, because they think about their actions. Selfish people wouldn't do that. So I have a feeling you're quite alright and may not have had the responses you're looking for from the world. So if you have little flaws, examine them. Find someone as an example who doesn't haven them. Work toward how you want to be and it will eventually happen. But remember, it has to be genuine.

Improving your personality is all up to you and how you respond and act. Your personality IS YOU. To improve it..you could start by being more positive about things. By being positive..you are automatically going to start looking at the lighter side of things..you wouldn't feel down as much..and your reactions to certain things would be completely different. Improving your personality is all about how you take control of your emotions and how YOU LET things affect YOU!!
if a person walked around with a bad attitude all the time..you would think they had a rather poor personality..why? They are constantly negative..probably not a social person..and seem distant. Now if that same person were to walk around always in a good mood..laughing with friends, generally being nice, and smiling at everyone..you would think they had a wonderful personality! Like I said..it all depends on how you control your emotions and let things affect you!

The "personality" is the typical pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaviors that make a person unique. When we say that someone has a "good personality" we mean that they are likeable, interesting and pleasant to be with. Everyone wants to be attractive to others. To that end, having a good personality is vital - probably even more so than good looks. In fact, approximately 85 percent of your success and happiness will be a result of how well you interact with others. Ultimately, it is your personality that determines whether people are attracted to, or shy away from you. While we can only enhance our looks to a certain extent, we have the ability to improve the personality as much as we want. We can develop or integrate any trait we deem fitting and agreeable. Here are some ways we can accomplish this: 1. Be a better listener. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was considered one of the most charming women in the world because she cultivated the skill of being an exceptional listener. She was known for the way she would look a person in the eyes, hang on their every word, and make them feel important. There is nothing more appealing than having someone listen to you intently making you feel like you're the only person in the world. 2. Read more and expand your interests. The more you read and cultivate new interests, the more interesting you are to others. When you meet new people it gives you the opportunity to share what you know and to exchange your views with them. 3. Be a good conversationalist.good connverstionalist This relates to how much you read and know. Once you have much to contribute, learn how to talk about it with others. No one can read about or know everything, so it's refreshing to learn from others those things we don't have the time to about read ourselves. If you happen to be shy, join a group like Toastmasters that encourages you to talk about what you know. 4. Have an Opinion. There is nothing more tiresome than trying to talk to someone who has no opinion on anything. A conversation has nowhere to go if you have nothing to expound on. If, however, you have an uncommon point of view or differing opinion, you are more interesting and stimulating to be with socially (unless you're a know-it-all, of course). A unique outlook expands everyone's perspective. 5. Meet New People. Make the effort to meet new people especially those unlike you. It not only exposes you to different cultures and alternative ways of doing things, it broadens your horizons. 6. Be yourself. The next most tiresome thing after having no opinions is trying to be something you're not. Molding yourself in order to fit in, or be accepted, usually backfires. Since each of us is unique, expressing that uniqueness is what makes us interesting. Attempting to be a carbon copy of someone else not only falls flat, but reveals a lack of authenticity. 7. Have a positive outlook and attitude. Who wants to be around people who are negative, complain a lot, or have nothing good to say? In fact, most of us run when we see them coming. Instead, be the kind of upbeat person who lights up a room with your energy when you enter it. Do it by looking for the best in people and things. Smile warmly, spread good cheer, and enliven others with your presence. 8. Be fun and see the humorous side of life.humor Everyone enjoys the company of someone who makes them laugh, or smile, so look for the humorous, quirky side in a situation - there always is one. Comic relief is a much welcome and needed diversion at times. When you can add fun and lightheartedness to an otherwise dull, or gloomy setting, others will naturally be attracted to you, not to mention grateful. 9. Be supportive of others. Being supportive is probably the most endearing quality you can integrate into your personality. Just as you yourself welcome it, be the support for others when they need it. We all love a cheerleader in our corner; someone who is encouraging, believes in us and helps pick us up when we're down. 10. Have Integrity and treat people with respect. Being honest and true to your word will bring you the admiration, respect and gratitude of others. Nothing improves a person's personality more than integrity and respect - respect for others, as well as respect for yourself.

on my own expeiriance ive found that once i got inner peace by really looking at myself-flaws and all-i was able to move in a much better direction-people sense it believe me.externally-approach someone 1st say hello reach out hand to shake theirs, and if you know them well a hug is appropriate hello as well and always returned in my case.sometimes just being the 1st to approach is the major factor.

You have to look for inspiration. Observe how someone whom you admire acts in difficult times and try to hang out with that person as much as you can.

i read once to closely observe the person you most admire and to react as you think they would in any given situation, being careful not to act as they do but to react. as for inwardly, assuming you do not suffer from serious depression as you react more favorably i am sure you will feel better about yourself. i would suggest you go online and read the signs of serious depression and if you determine you fit into that category consult medical help.
