Instruction manual

Regardless of the situation, determine for yourself the goals that you set when communicating with people at a particular point in time. Self-presentation is the ability to reveal oneself as required by the situation in the "focus" you need. Most people consciously or unconsciously daily strive for this.

Work on yourself. Do not forget that the roots of both high and low self-esteem are hidden in ordinary self-doubt. In a quiet secluded environment, write down all your best qualities in a notebook and carry it everywhere with you. Along with your usual morning jog or exercise, view your notes daily in your free time.

Do any ancient oriental practices that interest you. They will help you plunge into yourself, realize the necessary things and find answers to questions. In addition, they will exclude a possible desire to manipulate people, creating their image, forming an opinion about themselves.

Develop honesty and sincerity in yourself. The ability to present yourself means at the deepest subconscious level to make it clear to others that you actually have good human qualities, and do not ascribe to yourself the virtues and merits that you do not have. Always remember that people often get the impression of you in real actions and inward content that is intuitive. In difficult situations, it is worth openly expressing your thoughts. Ultimately, this is what affects the attitude towards you.
5
Try to articulate your thoughts clearly and clearly. If necessary, devote some time to mastering the basic techniques of rhetoric, communicate more. The manner and clarity of speech, the volume of the voice and intonation, the pace and the availability of reliable accurate definitions - these are the things that form the opinion of you in the first minutes of communication. Avoid falsehood, it is noticeable and acts against you.

Keep your distance when communicating. There are several spatial zones that should be used depending on communication situations. There is an intimate zone, comprising a maximum of 45 cm, into which only the closest are allowed to enter. A personal area extending from 45 to 120 cm should be maintained when communicating with familiar people. Often it is this distance that is maintained at corporate receptions and official parties. There is also a social area. It operates at a distance of 120 to 400 cm and represents the optimal distance for official communication with strangers. A distance of 4 m is called a public zone, which is often used for comfortable communication with a group of people.
