Very often, we find ourselves acting in such a way, projecting ourselves as being something we are not, only in a desperate bid to impress someone.

Do you realize that by trying to take control of another person, you are actually exposing your own weakness? By trying to swagger and force a person to think of you, as you need him to, you are needlessly exposing your weakness and thus sabotaging your position. In such a situation, the person you are trying to impress will simply be in command of you – the minute you want something from someone, you automatically assume a weaker position. Understand then, that the more you crave for a person's good opinion or attention, the less likelihood of your ever receiving it

The following actions will surely work against you in any situation:

• Going out of your way to impress someone
• Falling all over someone trying to curry favour
• Making meaningless small talk just to be heard
• Trying to be over concerned about the person's health and well-being
• Hanging on to the person's every word as if your life depended on it
• Constantly asking the person if he was angry or upset with you
• Trying to win the person's approval at any cost
• Constantly being on the defensive and trying to give explanations for every action
• Indulging in vacant or harmful gossip
• Always trying to say only nice things to someone though it is actually not your real opinion about the person

The solution? Try to think before you talk – there will be less chance of sabotaging your position. Do you feel a certain fear mounting within you? Is that why you fawn, try to impress and in general, blabber nonsense? Ah! Then control yourself. It is better to be a silent listener than to be someone who makes a fool of herself by indulging in all the above actions!
