8 Psychological Tricks You Can Use on People

1. Crowds will let you through if you look at the gaps between them instead of looking at them.

 

2. By copying another person’s body language, it builds trust as you seem more engaged to the conversation.

 

3. If you feel someone stalking you, start yawning whilst you turn around and look at them. If they start yawning too, you’ll know they’ve been watching you as yawning is contagious.

 

4. Asking people for small favours makes them believe that they like you.

 

5. The power of silence can be used if someone gives you an unsatisfactory answer to a question. By doing so, it makes them feel more uncomfortable and will feel pressured to continue speaking.

 

6. If you want your friends to help you carry your bags without having to ask them, hand them your items whilst talking to them. Most people will immediately take it unknowingly as they are engaged in the conversation.

 

7. If your friends do not take you seriously, tell them that it is something your father taught you. People tend to believe fatherly advice.

 

8. If you constantly have a song stuck in your head, think of the end of the song so the constant loop of having that song in your head will be finished. This is because your brain tends to constantly think about unfinished thoughts.
