Be more open to people! Take challenges positively. Consider obstacles as your growth hormone! Be true to yourself and others and give your 100% everyday with whatever you do.

In psychology, personality has five components: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.

People who are liked by others are high (or at least aren't low) in openness, agreeableness and extraversion. In addition, they are low (or at least aren't high) in neuroticism.

High openness means you are open to new things (and are nonjudgmental), are creative and aren't afraid of change.

High agreeableness is when you are interested in other people, you enjoy helping others and you care about how others feel. So you are empathic and prosocial.

High extraversion means you enjoy meeting new people (or at least you act like it) and have a wide social circle of friends.

Low neuroticism is when you are emotionally stable, don't worry about everything and deal with stress positively.

One way you can change some of these traits for the better is meditation, which has been shown to reduce neuroticism and increase agreeableness, openness and extraversion somewhat. While it sounds cheesy, loving-kindness meditation is particularly effective at increasing empathy and agreeableness IMO. (If you don't want to sit, you can take up yoga.)

However, if you're dealing with depression, it's best to see a therapist first, in case you need any medication or therapy to deal with it. Depression is an illness that can ruin your life if left untreated.

Another way to improve your personality is through regular exercise, which improves your mood and can give you more confidence. Don't skip cardio like some people do. Regular aerobic exercise can lift your mood and confer various cognitive benefits.

Finally, practice some self-compassion. Many of us are our own worst critic. Don't be so hard on yourself, especially when you fail or make mistakes. Talk to yourself the way you would to a good friend.
