“Likable” is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “pleasant, friendly, and easy to like,” and that’s what you’re going to get with a likable person. According to psychotherapist Babita Spinelli, L.P., likable people are also multifaceted individuals with open minds and a well of empathy.

“They tend to be individuals who are open-minded and create a space where people feel comfortable to be themselves. They have an ability to create a no-judgment experience,” she explains.
