Help other people whenever you ca, but if you can't, be honest about it.
It makes people like you more, and makes people more likely to help you, because they'll like you, and feel indebted to you, but since you couldn't help them all the time, you're not invincible.

If you're just getting to know someone, don't talk about yourself, ask about the person you're getting to know, and ask questions about what they do, to engage with them.
This lets them know that you care more about them than yourself despite not knowing them at all, which will make people respect and like you more.

If you disagree with someone, say you disagree, not that they're wrong.
This makes to discussion philosophical and not personal, and it will keep the other person from feeling personally offended.

If somebody is trying to get to know you and asks you about yourself, but you want to ask the other person about his or herself, say relatively little about yourself. If you have five hobbies, mention only two or three.
Firstly, this will cause the focus to leave you quicker than usual, so that you can ask the person about his or herself like you want to.
Secondly, it allows you to have more topics to bring up later if the conversation dies down, and when you reveal more skills and hobbies about yourself, it makes you appear both cooler/deeper, and humbler, because you didn't mention it before.

When debating politics, appeal to emotion rather than logic.
This will make you appear more compassionate and empathetic and people will both be less likely to insult you for disagreeing with them, and you will be less likely to accidentally insult them by saying they have bad logic.

Also, if someone is intimidating you, try to appear calm, but most importantly, look at the person dead in the eyes for as long as you can. Force them to falter.
Losing eye contact is a sign of weakness, and the lone fact that you're maintaining eye contact will intimidate anyone when in an antagonistic situation.

Fishing for compliments is the oldest trick in the book, but it still works. A lot of people use it, though, so for maximum effect, use it only occasionally and subtly. I recommend using it on something that you have done, made, or picked rather than your appearance.
Firstly, it will be less obvious.
Secondly, if someone likes you but doesn't want to say it, they will be far more eager to actually compliment you.
Thirdly, you can get a bigger variety of compliments than if you had asked about your appearance.

If you want to know who likes you, pay attention to who compliments you when you don't bring attention to yourself (or trying to, anyways), and then pay attention to who they compliment.
If they compliment you way more than others, they probably like you. If they compliment other people a lot too, they're probably just nice.

If you're a procrastinator and need to get something done in time, try to plan to get it done early.
That way, you'll get it done in time instead of doing it late.

If you want to slide into somebody's DMs on #Instagram or #Snapchat, the next time they post something in their story about music, ask them about it.
Firstly, everybody likes talking about their music at least a little bit.
Secondly, it lets the person know that you're paying attention to their life by watching their story. If they like you or they're more neutral, this will make them like you more.
P.S. Read social cues! Most people like talking about things other than music. If you feel that the conversation is winding down, talk about something else, don't bring music back up. You now have an avenue to ask the person anything you like.

If you have an android phone and you want to make it feel like a new phone, get a new phone case and change your launcher and wallpaper.
This changes both your physical experience with the phone as well as your software experience with it.

Don't @ or message someone you want to respect you repeatedly if they don't reach out to you as well.
They're * always * going to think that you're needy. Some people will also try and use this opportunity to try and manipulate you because this also makes you look weak.
P.S. If that person likes you and you were the first one to reach out, they will be more likely to reach out to you in the future.

If you're arguing with someone and they ignore or dismiss what you say, ignore them or look in a different direction, and when you respond to what they're saying, pause for a few seconds and speak calmly.
This disrupts the typical flow of arguments if they get heated. This disruption forces to participants to refocus, and they might think more clearly and be more attentive than they would be otherwise.
Also, being calm in general makes you appear to be in control and comfortable, which will makes someone you're arguing with nervous if they're uncomfortable or do not have a handle on their own emotions.
P.S. If this doesn't work, threaten to leave the conversation if they do not listen to you. Most people like to be heard, so they will do what they can to keep the conversation going if they actually like you.
