Make people want to listen to you

I suppose that you all got the impression that somebody didn't want to listen to you at least once in a lifetime. You may think that it's all about being interesting, good-looking or well thought of. As a matter of fact, controlling what you say and the way you speak is more important here. There are common mistakes called "7 deadly sins of speaking" which you should avoid so that people want to listen to you.
First one is gossiping. In other words, speaking ill of somebody who is not present. Do you know why is it so important not to do that? Because one can be afraid that you will do the same thing to him after 5 minutes or so. Second one is negativity. People don't like being surrounded by sceptics and pessimists. There isn't much more that can be said about it. Then, judging people. It's really hard for somebody to enjoy their conversation when they know they are going to be judged afterwards. Another "sin" that should be avoided is complaining. Many of you do that, don't you? Unfortunately, it's what really makes a conversation weary, unless you have the subject to complain about ;). Fifth mistake is finding excuses which means blaming everything around, except you. Penultimate reason that makes people ignore you is embroidery. Some of you probably may argue if it's already a lie or not, but it doesn't really matter. The thing is that as soon as people realise that you like embellishing your stories, they won't trust you. Finally, dogmatism is what you should be aware of. In other words, presenting your opinions as if they were facts. For more information, I recommend watching the video below:
