one always keep a straight posture and walk around as if you have a lot of influence you'll notice people treat you with more respect plus you'll come across as a confident person and those are perceived as more trustworthy reliable and attractive if someone is staring you in the subway look at their shoes don't give up keep gazing this will drive this person crazy [Music] while talking to someone try to control your hands showing your palms will indicate your genuine and sincere and steepling your fingers will convey confidence if you think a person dislikes you ask them for a book to borrow it'll create some sort of a connection between you two when you return the book share your opinion about it with its owner it'll help them warm up to you if you're asked to do something you don't want to do just say no people usually expect you to give the reasons for your refusal you're straightforward answer will discourage them from trying to talk you into agreeing a person will like a gift from you more if you add a note hope you enjoy it I got myself the same one too research shows people feel closer to others if they receive a present their partners have also got for themselves if someone's trying to interrupt you by talking loudly over you keep speaking the main thing is not to raise your voice it should be exactly the same as before the person who tried to interrupt you will soon feel awkward and fall silent most people respect their parents and believe their words that's why if you say you've heard some information from your parents others will subconsciously take it more seriously now even though it sounds cliche that people judge you by your handshake it's true you can make a better first impression if you rub your hands together in advance it'll make them warm and dry if you don't want to talk to someone you know pretend to be really worried every time you see them in the end this person will start feeling worried every time they meet you as well and

silence you're determined look will affect how they perceive your words the most crucial thing though is not to lose eye contact during these intense moments if you want a person to do something for you ask them for a bigger favor first after rejecting something more difficult people are likely to agree to a more easy looking request you can build a stronger relationship with someone if you show you trust them enough to share one of your secrets but remember to choose a secret you can spill in advance before you meet the person you want to build rapport with people subconsciously perceive fast speakers who use lots of hand gestures and talk loudly and expressively as smart and more experienced you might have difficulties with making decisions because there are too many options for choices at a time are the maximum number the human brain can process give yourself four alternatives at the most and take time to consider each of them if you want to build a relationship with someone ask this person to explain something to you you might even know the answer better than the person you've addressed but this will make them warm up towards you if you didn't get a good night's sleep tell your brain that you did when you genuinely believe that you're well-rested your brain will function better even if you haven't slept much if you often have a feeling that you forgot to do something at home start using the point and call method when you lock the door point at it and say the doors locked this way you won't need to doubt whether you've done something or not if you ask a person some question and they're hesitant to answer maintain eye contact with them it'll prove you aren't afraid of the answer and the person will feel more at ease if you think someone might disagree with your opinion sit next to this person this position is perceived as less antagonistic your opponent won't feel threatened and is more likely to agree with your point of view enthusiasm is contagious if you need people to accept your idea get as enthusiastic and excited about it as possible yeah when they see this kind of emotion most of them will feel the same people tend to think others have warm and nice personalities when they have a warm drink in their hands that's why it's better to skip on an ice cream date and invite the person you like to have some hot coffee or tea instead the more you overload people with information the less they like it when you need something from somebody avoid rambling concentrate on one or two main points a joke stops being funny after you repeat it several times trust me if someone is trying to have a good laugh at your expense in a company pretend you haven't heard the joke clearly after they repeat it three or four times no one will be laughing anymore people subconsciously perceive those who smile too widely as not serious enough so save your big smiles for your friends and family and tamp it down at business meetings when you're walking through a crowded sidewalk avoid eye contact with people who are in your way look a bit above and behind them and confidently march straight ahead you'll notice people subconsciously take the cue and move out of the way if you feel uncomfortable meeting new people or giving speeches start acting as if you don't feel anxious your brain will have nothing to do but it just if someone leans on the back of their chair it might indicate they're tired of the conversation and don't want to continue it or they feel uncomfortable in the presence of the other person if you're working on some project in a group and want someone to do a particular task ask them can you get started on this it sounds like less work and the person is more likely to agree but chances are they'll just go ahead and complete the task when you ask a person to do something for you ad you can always refuse right after your request it will make them relax and they won't feel pressured they'll also be more likely to help you if you want someone to make a particular choice give them a list with at least three alternatives the one you need them the pick should be the last people usually choose this option since it's the freshest in their minds when someone tells you an opinion you don't agree with don't object immediately say something like hmm I see what you mean then add but have you ever considered and express your own opinion this way you're unlikely to be interrupted everything you say about others influences the way people see you it's better to avoid talking about those you don't like whatsoever then to say negative things about them but if you can try to find something about them to compliment never start your request with the words could you the person you're addressing will subconsciously assume this is a theoretical question then the answer yes can mean yes theoretically I could it's better to rephrase your request to please print this document out for me finally never forget the name of the person who's been introduced to you call them by their name right away it'll help you reinforce the information in your mind and the person you're talking to will take to you immediately people like hearing their names it makes them feel important remember John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt his name is my name too
