Try to force yourself to not lie (even though we all lie A LITTLE, so don't try to be perfect).
Concentrate on being plain old nice to people, even your brother. Nice dress, like your hair, good job speaking in that class, that was really funny, you look really good today. It is amazing how a few words can totally turn someone around in the likability department.
And if you tend to be a drama queen along with attention whore, put a lid on it! TRY. It's a job. You get a million dollars at the end, a PhD, and a Nobel Prize. Answer back about what happens.
