These are reasonable suggestions, I would add that You should be aware that some people are more difficult to read than others, so You shouldn't expect immediate feedback on if your actions are working. Also know when someone just doesn't like You, accept it and cut your losses, move on, maybe they will come around but there is no way to force someone to like You.

The only other thing I have found has given me great success is saying YES when You are invited to social activities. If every time a person asks You to do something, You have an excuse not to and turn them down, they will stop asking. If on the other hand You say Yes, You will find people will start asking You first.

The default yes answer is a big one, agreed!
Have you added your own innovation to the English language, capitalizing "You" the way "I" is capitalized in standard English?
