Unknown giving a call to someone.

Very rarely does this happen…you get a call from the past that truly rocks your world. That’s exactly what happen to someone on The Mike & Carla Morning Show.

As it was, everything was going along smoothly the other morning. Off the air, one of the lines lit up on our phone. The guy said “hi” and wanted to talk to Carla Rea.

With that it started to unfold, “…do you remember about 20 years ago?” And after that, it was a roller coaster of emotion. Without going into all the details, the guy had been in prison for the past 20 years.

He had been exonerated and got out a couple of month ago. As he told he’s story, at the end, he politely asked if we would not air the call.

But with that said, we started wondering, how many other people have gotten that call from their past. A call that freaks you out maybe just a bit?

Quora actually put out a thread where people started commenting on this very topic. And just as we got the calls as we did, people started to comment the same way.

It was nice to know that Carla was not the only one. In some, way, shape or form, we’ve all seemed to have gotten that call. And each call has a story behind it that it makes it that much more interesting to those of us listening.

Because when we all look back, we all have a past. We’ve all experienced different things that have shaped us into the people we are now…wow, that was pretty deep! LOL.

Some of the stories that came in regarding this topic as talked about it, were great. Rekindling friendships that had been lost. But then, there were a few where we all just took a deep breath.

Whether or not you have gotten this kind of call or not. it got a very interesting. Take a couple of minutes and listen to the segment and maybe you it will stir some memories in your past.

7 Traits That Irresistible People Have

The word “irresistible” brings to mind all kinds of good connotations. The word means you’re charming, fun, inviting, friendly and simply someone people want to be around. Who wouldn’t want that, right? Well, as it turns out, there are some special traits that irresistible people have.

What Does Being Irresistible Mean?

Of course, a lot of times when you hear the word “irresistible,” you think about looks. Sure, that’s most often the first thing you notice in a person. But, for this article, we’re talking about traits that don’t have anything to do with looks that make you irresistible. There’s nothing wrong with still having good looks, of course. “Positive qualities are personal attributes, character traits, skills, or strengths that are considered good or help us in some way,” notes Berkeleywellbeing.com. “It’s important to know your positive attributes and keep them in mind to develop a healthy level of confidence and self-worth.” They add that in order to really fall in love with someone, people have to feel “equally fascinated by their partner’s mental qualities.” I totally agree.

Reading through this list, you don’t have to possess all these qualities. “No one person can have every good quality — but every person does have some good qualities,” notes Goodgoodgood.co. “We each have an opportunity and an obligation to continue to grow and improve ourselves.” They add that learning these is part of one’s journey towards self-discovery.

Traits That Irresistible People Have

Now, let’s get into the list of traits that irresistible people have. Note that these traits are attractive in both men and women. They’re just universal. Of course, I would always start with the golden rule, to treat others how you would like to be treated. That’s definitely an important character trait to possess and one that’s always a winner. I personally believe being a good person is sexy and attractive.

1. Confidence
Of course irresistible people are confident in themselves. “Everyone becomes more attractive when they feel good about themselves,” says Ameliamiazy.medium.com. It’s true. Flaunt your awesome self.

Being confident is a big bonus.
2. Kindness
Being kind is attractive. Sure, it may be trite to say that girls always go for the “bad boys.” That’s fun at first, but it gets old really fast. “Countless studies have found that altruism, kindness, supportiveness, and empathy are what we look for most in someone and find most desirable,” states HackSpirit.com.

Kindness is a wonderful thing.
3. Fun-Loving
Why’s everything so serious? Life can be difficult, so having a fun-loving outlook can really be a breath of fresh air. “Playful people enjoy teasing, wordplay, improvising and taking challenges in a light-hearted way,” says Spring.org.uk. “They enjoy unusual things and are good at creating situations people can enjoy.”
4. Positivity
You don’t have to be annoying chipper all the time, but being a positive person can go a long way. There’s already so much negativity in the world. Why add to it? Having positive energy is always a good thing.

Being positive goes a long way.
5. Sense of Humor
Having a sense of humor isn’t just about being funny. It’s about enjoying other people who are funny, too. People definitely find having a sense of humor attractive, whether you’re cracking your own hilarious jokes or enjoying others.

A sense of humor is great.
6. Non-Judgmental
Being open-minded and non-judgmental is welcoming to people. Everyone loves feeling accepted. So, when you meet new people and are a listening ear to people currently in your life, remember not to judge. Just listen and love. “Honesty – telling the truth and not obscuring the facts – is fundamental to our happiness and relationships,” states Berkeleywellbeing.com.

Don’t be judgemental.
7. Being Honest
Being honest, of course, is a great character trait. People love honesty. Of course, that doesn’t mean telling someone you hate their new haircut. It does mean being upfront about who you are with the people you love.

Be an honest person.
In summary
Don’t change your personality to try to become more “irresistible.” There’s nothing more attractive than being you. But, be aware of these positive traits and lean on the ones that you already possess. In the end, being irresistible to people is about being friendly and yourself, and these traits can help you get there.

Be your awesome self.
