For the record, I sometimes struggle with diffidence and insecurity. It comes from being in a very competitive field of the broadcast industry (ratings and popularity). I sometimes tend to overcompensate by talking too much, too loud, and at times sounding like a "know-it-all".

I recently ran across some information that stated, "These are things that make you look unattractive to others!" Naturally wanting to "know it all" and be able to share the information, I chose the top ten things one should know to keep from being unattractive to others.

While these findings from RelationshipRules.com are based more on the dating scene, it's great information to know to be a better human. First off "attractiveness" is a personal opinion/preference. What you and I may find attractive, someone else may not agree with.

Here are the top ten that I believe are most important, but there are more in the in-depth study:

#1 - A lack of confidence makes one seem unattractive because you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, apologizing for everything, or avoiding certain social circumstances. Believing in yourself and your abilities is probably the most important factor one must possess.

#2 - Being a know-it-all is when people will find you most annoying and arrogant because you have an answer for everything. Plus, you are constantly correcting everyone around you. Try to be humble and learn from others.

#3 - Bad hygiene is when you have bad breath, wear dirty work clothes, or have bad body odor. Having any or all of these makes a person automatically unattractive. The most important thing to do is stay clean and smell good.

#4 - Don't be negative. A negative attitude is another major turn-off. If you’re constantly slamming something or someone, gossiping, or being pessimistic, people tend to avoid you.

#5 - Being Self-Destructive means you constantly make bad decisions that end up hurting yourself and maybe others. Making good choices will benefit you in the end.

#6 - Rudeness I believe is very evident in our society nowadays and I think the pandemic caused it. Cutting people off when they're talking, talking over them, or being dismissive is rude behavior. Remember to be respectful and listen even if you don't agree.

#7 - Being too self-absorbed or to put it more bluntly, being conceited, is unattractive. Someone who constantly talks about themselves all the time is irritating. Practice being a good listener.

#8 - Being closed-minded and not willing to listen to others' thoughts or opinions will make you instantly unattractive. Others will evaluate you as dull and one-sided. Try being more open-minded and listening more.

#9 - Being judgmental is when you "pre-judge" others without looking into or considering others' thoughts or ideas. It’s important to be welcoming of others, even when you disagree with their choices.

#10 - Having a bad temper is more common in people who possess several of the traits mentioned above. A short temper makes a person more volatile and unpredictable. Learn to address your anger and conflict more healthily.

Keep in mind that being attractive is not only about one's physical appearance. It's important to maintain control of your attitude, thoughts, and behaviors.
