50+ Psychological Tricks That Work Every Time

if someone is touching their neck it could be an instinctive attempt to protect themselves they're clearly feeling uncomfortable touching the nose is a sign someone is lying to 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 crossing arms in the front is a way for a person to protect themselves from the rest of the world and particularly the one they're talking to you must have really freaked them out if they're crossing arms behind the back it's a totally different thing though anger transforms into calm and they have nothing else to fear 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 want to 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 [Music] 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 before an important conversation a public speech or another event that makes you nervous you should try to chew 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 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 how hard could it be to take 20 bucks from an mba student in fact professor max bazerman proves it's easy-peasy in 2010 he first conducted an experiment at his class where he organized a simple auction he would give a 20 bill to the student who pays the most for it the bidding started at one dollar the only rules of the auction were that bids could only go up by one dollar no less no more and that the second best bidder would pay the whole sum of their bid to the professor so let's say the best bid was eighteen dollars then the second best would be seventeen dollars the one who paid eighteen dollars would receive the auction bill and win two bucks while the one who bid 17 would just pay the money and receive nothing simple right well at first the auction went as planned but the stakes rose pretty fast and soon the bids reached the nominal value of twenty dollars a pause ensued and then someone bid 20 watt students started laughing at that but surprisingly the bidding didn't stop the auction which turned basically to forest at this point continued until the students finally had enough the twenty dollar bill was sold for two hundred four dollars the overall sum the professor won totaled three hundred eighty seven dollars as bazerman explained after the end of the auction it was the typical picture for any business person he conducted the same experiment with ceos of major companies and still managed to sell the 20 bucks above their face value it all boils down to the fact that nobody wants to be the second bidder and lose money without winning anything back so the auction continues until someone sees the fallacy and decides to stop the race sometimes as you can see it happens much too late let's say you're at an electronics store choosing a new sd card for your camera you see two options before you one has the capacity of 64 gb and costs 15 and the other has a storage space of 128 gb but costs 30 there's an equal chance of you choosing either of them some will prefer greater capacity while others will go for lower price which one would you choose by the way let me know down in the comments okay and now a third option appears this sd card has the capacity of 96 gb which is higher than the first but lower than the second but its price is higher than both it's 35 dollars this option is called a decoy and its role is to make the pricier second sd card more favorable in the eyes of consumers indeed when you look at all three options you actually consider only the first two because the third one is worse than either of them still you now look at the 128 gb card from another angle it's cheaper than the 96 gb one and has more storage space making it better in all respects the 64 gb card though is only cheaper than the 96 gb one but its capacity is lower it's kind of obvious that you would choose the best one right well marketing specialists got you there the only reason why there's this third option on the market is to create this decoy to make you buy a more expensive product insidious what are they wearing if they look more polished this person is probably there to impress is their style more casual this could mean that they're relaxed revealing clothing can be a sign that they feel the need for attention and like pushing boundaries [Music] the answers to these questions are your first clues you can figure out someone's intentions simply by observing their clothing when someone is puffed up and a little too confident this could mean a big ego [Music] as for those who are a little more indecisive and deflated they probably have a low self-esteem and a real lack of self-confidence if a person simply holds their head high they've got pure confidence pay attention to where someone's body is leaning we usually lean toward things we like and away from things we don't [Music] has this person crossed their arms and legs you got to know this one by now it's the defensive body language of someone who is trying to protect or distance themselves [Music] and the final bodily movement is to look for lip biting lip biting usually indicates that a person is trying to soothe themselves because they feel under pressure or awkward it can also show romantic interest ooh la where are their wrinkles most pronounced [Music] if their frown lines are exaggerated it could mean lots of worry or stress this person has probably had a tough life or a lot of responsibility at work both of these factors can have a real impact on a person's character crow's feet usually mean a lot of smiling and happiness individual is probably a joy to be around pursed lips usually indicate anger or contempt and a clenched jaw means tension more often than not if it growls loudly that indicates hunger so head on over to the hors d'oeuvres otherwise have you ever had a negative reaction to someone you literally just met you can thank your gut feeling for that generally speaking our gut can sense the things that are beyond the obvious so if yours is telling you something is just off about a certain person you might want to take the hint [Music] and it's not always a bad gut feeling either sometimes you can have an inexplicable good feeling about someone of course our intuition isn't 100 calibrated so it's a good idea to factor in other cues when reading someone try to listen carefully to the tone of voice people normally have then compare it to the tone in which they talk to you it will be a pitch higher if they like you pay the most attention to action words in someone's speech someone will say i decided to do something and others will just say they did it it's a great difference because now you know which person gave more thought to their actions when people laugh they look at those they like the most in a group we naturally want to share emotions with those we like and we need appreciation from them if a person closes their eyes when talking to you it doesn't mean they don't want to see you most often it means this person is deeply concentrated and wants to say something really important so it's just a sign you need to listen closely now rubbing the chin is a way of saying i'm so deep in my thoughts i'm about to zone out of reality if a person starts to clean their clothes even though there is no visible dirt or dust on them they strongly disagree with something but they haven't decided if they want to express their thoughts rubbing the eyebrows or forehead is a way to break eye contact and recollect your thoughts it may show the person is in a difficult situation and thinking of something else is a bit overwhelming for them try to control your pupils you can't sometimes neither can teachers for example your eye pupils dilate when people see something they are excited to see one alarming sign your ideas won't be met with a round of applause is when people squint while listening to you squinting is a sign people don't trust what they hear and have lots of questions about that if you want to attract someone's attention by giving them this special look you've practiced a lot don't be discouraged by them not paying attention on average it takes three attempts before people will be able to read any sign you make you can literally read minds if you pay attention to the direction people look at when they're thinking if they look down and to the left that means they're in the middle of some inner monologue and deciding on something similarly people will look down into the right when they are trying to remember something or using their imagination i passed an exam today and i passed another exam today small difference but pay attention one word means a lot this another shows the person wants to demonstrate how good they are at something or they're just bragging want someone to be easy on you raise your eyebrows it's a sign you are vulnerable right now and need protection people will react accordingly to that people will copy your body language if they like you and want you to like them back try some characteristic postures and gestures during a conversation if they mirror you you're on the right path to win them over during my days in school the teacher would often ask the class if someone had any questions and after an awkward pause the teacher would become all gloomy after that it was impossible to get a yes from them asking questions and offering suggestions is a good way to show your interest it adds value to both the discussed matter and the person you're talking to this way you will make the other person feel important and respected after all people like to help others just avoid whining about your problems no one likes that so keep the conversation positive and constructive like it or not people always form their first impression from the most accessible source which is how you look choose a style that will be appropriate for this kind of conversation no need to discuss your relationship wearing a suit you know don't push too hard with all the persuasion thing it may make people feel uneasy and stressed when you leave a choice you show respect and willingness not to put a person in a bad situation even if no one's asking anything back from you give a nod of appreciation to them even a small token gift will do great when you're known as a grateful person your reputation will start working for you start with eye contact don't be afraid of looking someone in the eye while asking for something you're just showing that you're honest to them and people usually appreciate it big time people won't trust you if you hide your eyes from them even if you're talking with someone you don't know make a note of their eye color first this will give a reason to establish eye contact and also make a compliment find something you both share with each other maybe you have a similar hobby or same everyday problems or you're both fans of comic books anything will do remind the person about that and build your arguments upon these points just stay on a positive side and don't delve into the problem territory too much don't cross your arms and don't lock them with each other it's a defensive position that shows this conversation is a nuisance for you most of the time you'll immediately see the other person copy this posture and from this point your conversation is probably already going nowhere another trick is to mirror the posture of the person you're talking to this will help to hit it off with anyone it's a fact that people like the sound of their name spoken out loud saying someone's name in a conversation is the key point in establishing trustworthy relationships when you meet someone for the first time try to remember their name and use it in the conversation that follows people love nothing more than the sound of their own name it might be hard but it comes off super personal and thoughtful you might have noticed that car sales people use this technique a lot if you're talking and the other person is smiling at you check for crinkles around their eyes if they're being fake there won't be any this works the same way if you're trying to tell if your friend really thought your joke was funny if they're genuinely laughing there will be crinkles around their eyes if not they're faking it chewing gum makes you look engaged and it tricks your brain into feeling comfortable your brain will send a message like we must be fine because if we were in real danger we'd be running plus you're doing something when you're chewing gum so it'll make you feel more relaxed a must know for the office have you ever messed up at work and know you're going to be called out for it in the next meeting sit right next to your boss or next to that co-worker who's mad at you your physical closeness to them will make them uncomfortable and they'll be less likely to yell at you or create any more conflict this technique works great on first dates or in job situations it's been said that people remember the beginning and end of something a date an interview a meeting the clearest try to be interviewed either first or last be the first or last to give your presentation plan your date for the beginning or end of the day you'll get that call back and here's a bonus make sure your hands are warm when shaking hands with your potential future boss having warm hands gives exactly that impression that you're a warm kind and open person it'll make them feel comfortable too
