During a study at Washington State University and the Desert Research Institute, students were asked to play a computer game with four other players, who were actually told they’ll gain certain advantages if they were chosen as remaining playmates by the main players.
As it turns out, the majority of participants claimed they refuse to work with their unselfish teammate again. Some of them said that their unselfish teammate made them look bad, while others suspected they had other hidden motives.

#7 – Humblebragging

In an attempt to impress other people, some individuals resort to bragging as self-criticism. This behavior is known as ‘humblebragging,’ and could be a big turn-off in a relationship.
In a study from Harvard Business School, researchers asked students give a written answer about their ultimate weakness during a job interview. Results showed that more than ¾ of participants actually humblebragged, notably about being hard-working employees or perfectionists.
On the other side, research assistants said that the participants who were honest
(saying things like ‘sometimes, I overreact to situations’) had higher chances to be hired, as they were remarkably more likable.
Another wonderful trick you can use in a job interview is to talk about a weakness that has nothing to do with the position. (Good luck! & Be honest!)

#8 – Not Smiling

When you’re at a certain event where you’re meeting lots of new people, it can be difficult to keep a pleasant smile on your face. But you may want to try anyway. It was shown that photos of random people were liked best when they were smiling.
Recently, researchers from the University of Duisburg-Essen and Stanford University revealed that those who interacted with one another using emojis had more positive feelings about the communication when the emoji’s smile was larger.
Moreover, a different study found that smiling at someone when you first meet them will help you make sure they’ll remember you later.
