It has been my experience that if we make the effort to listen to people when we meet them, and work to get to know them a little, it is then easy to find something likeable in practically anyone.

You have to fit in sometimes to make people comfortable to listen to you.
I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.
Finding the right person can be so hard that often, when a person finally finds someone she or he is comfortable with, she or he just makes it work.
I always try to make myself be very approachable and easy to talk to, so hopefully people will feel that they can approach me.
I'm quite a good listener, and I'm good at looking after people.
Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers.
I think it takes people to get to know you and the recognition comes over time.
I get a lot of letters from introverts asking how they can meet people. The key is to make sure that you are doing things you enjoy.
Can we ever really know anyone well? Let's just say we often found ourselves in each other's company and neither of us minded.
We don't get to know people when they come to us; we must go to them to find out what they are like.
