you they must be checking if it's growing pinocchio style picking their nose means they have a booger and it's bothering them okay i added that one but it's true hiding hands during a conversation is like hiding something they don't want you to know is someone running their hands through the hair they're flirting with you and feeling really comfortable in your company playing with hair and holding it isn't too good though it may be an attempt to fill an awkward pause or soothe the nerves picking imaginary hairs from your sweater is a displacement gesture someone isn't happy with what you're telling them but they won't tell you directly because they're afraid to offend you drumming fingers on the desk is instinctively trying to make yourself busy with something when you're impatient or frustrated rubbing hands together is a positive sign it's like saying i hope we'll both benefit from each other if a person is giving you a glove handshake taking your wrist in their free hand they're showing that they are trustworthy if someone is putting their palm on the top of your hand they're showing you sympathy that's if they do it instantly though if you've been shaking hands for a while and then they decide to put their hand on top it's a way of showing who's the boss holding someone's hand from below is like telling them you're always there for them in case a person is invading your private space and casually touching your elbow forearm or other body part during the handshake with a free hand it's a sign they really need company you decide how to react to it speaking of handshakes have you noticed how you normally do it let me know in the comments so you're talking to someone and they suddenly lean towards you that's a really good sign especially if their hands are open with palms facing up this is an instinctive attempt to connect with you if a person is leaning away that's just the opposite reaction they don't want to get close and personal with you if they're doing it while sitting they also must be bored with the conversation and uncomfortable with you it's a twofer wanna get away are they standing up straight with shoulders proudly pulled back this power position is a way of saying i'm the boss it's like taking up as much space as you can to show your significance slouching is the opposite you fear to take too much space because you're uncertain about your role in this conversation word to the wise stop slouching people with good posture are better liked and more often promoted when a group of people are laughing each person looks at the individual he or she likes the most after a good joke or in the middle of an interesting discussion every person instinctively looks at the person they like the most this is because they want to make sure that the object of their desires approves of and shares their sense of humor so in order to find out everything about a group of friends get a few really good jokes ready and watch everybody like a hawk your observations might turn out really surprising the anchoring effect people feel it's much easier to evaluate something if they have the original price even if it's wrong as kind of an anchor it's often used by stores for example you wouldn't buy a blouse for three hundred dollars in your right mind however if you see it originally cost a thousand dollars you'll think it's a sin to miss such a great deal even though the initial price might be invented we tend to see our memories as small movies or video clips things that lie on some shelf inside our brain safe and unalterable but as it turns out recollections of past events change every time they pass before our mind's eye their content is influenced by memory blackouts and by events that took place in the more recent past for example you don't have clear recollections of all the people who attended a family get-together a couple of years ago but since your aunt never misses events of this kind your mind eventually includes her in the memories even if she was absent on that particular occasion chew on something when you're nervous before an important conversation a public speech or another event that makes you nervous you should try to choose some gum or even eat something a 2011 study at tokyo medical and dental university concluded that the chewing motion greatly reduces feelings of anxiety the thing is that nobody eats when they're in danger so while you're chewing your brain thinks it's safe to relax it sends a signal that relieves tension and helps calm you down you're basically tricking your own brain the same tokyo research explains that some ancient mayans and greeks who used to chew on tree resin were less tense than their peers who didn't share this habit oh maybe this is where the expression she really chewed him out came from wow that would make her a stressed out cannibal okay maybe not deflection to the result we often judge the correctness of a decision by the final result not by the actions taken to achieve it this effect is often used by those ads which concentrate you only on the final result for example on buying so if you're using a brand new iphone you cannot claim that the decision to spend all your money on it was right if someone's trying to manipulate you look at their forehead just above the eyes to avoid their influence if someone is talking to you and keeps closing their eyes for a bit longer than usual it means they're tired of the conversation and want you to go when someone props their chin on the back of their hands it's the perfect time to compliment them because they're presenting their faith to you through this gesture putting a picture of some eyes on the wall in a public place makes people more willing to follow the rules clenching your fists for 90 seconds can help you recall information better if you see someone rubbing their chin pause the conversation they're in deep thought trying to make a decision so they won't pay much attention to your words nod slightly while asking a question to get a positive response you need to end an unpleasant conversation look your opponent in one eye then in the other and then at their forehead if you feel like an argument's about to break out start eating something it'll diffuse the tense atmosphere since your brain associates food with stability and peace if you can't get a particular song out of your mind solve some sudoku puzzles when meeting someone new take a moment to memorize their eye color this will help you maintain eye contact for the optimal period to impress in a new relationship choose an exciting activity for a first date that will give you both an adrenaline rush if a person sitting next to you fidgets with their hands on their knees it means they want to end the conversation when in a crowd look only at where you're headed and people will make an effort to move out of your way shakira sings hips don't lie apparently neither do feet if the tips of someone's shoes are pointed at you that person probably likes you so shake your hips just kidding if you organize a meeting schedule it at an odd time like 3 17 p.m people probably won't be late the smell of lemons can boost your concentration if you work on a computer a lot keep a lemon scented oil or air freshener on your desk to show someone that you're a good listener simply paraphrase their statements but don't do it all the time to beat jet lag after a long haul flight set your watch to your destination's time zone right after boarding the plane if you want to win someone's trust try to copy their gestures posture or facial expressions try to be either the first or the last candidate during a job interview to create a memorable impression doodling helps you memorize the information you hear better to make your friend carry your stuff just hand it to them while talking about something that interests them a lot if you want someone to see you as trustworthy share a small secret with them and don't steal their wallet to learn new information or a skill more effectively explain it to another person decorate your workplace with red and blue objects red makes you more attentive and blue stimulates your imagination to make a positive impression when meeting someone new make sure your hand is warm before giving them a handshake when someone rocks back and forth from heels to toes it means they're feeling anxious or uncertain keep new bills in your wallet one study found that the physical appearance of money influences our spending people are more likely to give away those bills that look old dirty and worn out try to keep new bills in your wallet and deposit the rest into your bank account procrastinating can be good before clicking the complete order button while shopping online you can try to close the website and leave it for a few hours or overnight you might even forget about the items you chose which means you didn't really need them in the first place you can do exactly the same thing in the physical store by putting the item back and taking a short walk away from that store avoid long interactions with sales staff positive interactions with customers are carefully followed by many retailers the more sales associates interact with their customers the longer they make them stay in their store and the more likely those customers will buy more than they intended knowing this you can now try to reduce these interactions to be as short as possible or just don't interact at all try to leave your bank card at home sometimes one more study reveals that consumers are more likely to spend more money if they pay with their debit cards than if they pay with cash when we pay with cash we see the amount of money we spend and hand over to the cashier makes it a lot more painful you don't get that effect when paying with a plastic card [Music] check out as a guest when shopping online avoid registering a new account and having them save your bank account data saved information means that buying can be done in just a few clicks that convenience can trigger an impulse purchase if you proceed with your purchase as a guest you will need to enter your card number and other information which means there's a chance you might get lazy not want to go look for your card and eventually avoid ordering check the reviews on expensive items buying expensive things on impulse and then regretting it might be very painful to prevent this you can try to check online and see what others are saying about the pricey thing you intend to buy sometimes you might find out that most of the other customers ended up being unhappy about it so you probably shouldn't spend your money on it either keep a mint in your mouth when entering a store retailers use a special strategy called scent marketing to make the shopping experience more pleasant for their customers they use scents like bergamot vanilla white tea or bamboo to trigger guests to spend more money mint flavored candy or chewing gum can overpower the aromas around you and help you not spend more than you intended
