Psychologists who have a keen eye for details always keep discovering new behavioral patterns. These tricks help professionals manipulate people and avoid being tricked by others. If you want to learn some simple psychology tricks, here is an excellent compilation of 15 psychological tricks that will work on almost any of the people you meet in daily life.
You can immediately start testing these out for yourself. Isn’t that pretty cool?
#1
If you want someone to help you, never ask him anything that begins with the words “Could you...” because he will think that this is a theoretical question. For example, If you say “Could you call the neighbors”, because the answer “yes” will mean “Yes, theoretically, I could.” Instead, rephrase your hidden request to “Please, call the neighbors.”
#2 To make someone feel awkward or uncomfortable, look at the middle of their forehead during the conversation.
#3
If you want your question to be answered while you are talking to someone, try to make a pause in the conversation while you are still looking into their eyes. This will make them feel uncomfortable, and they will keep on talking.
Probably, they will give you some more details or most likely tell you the truth (if they are lying) thinking that your silence and the look on your face are signs that you already know the truth.
#4
To build a relationship (for example, at work), ask this person to tell/explain something to you even if you know the answer. By this way, they will improve their overall attitude toward you.
#5 If you are asking a question, nod subtly. Most of the time, you will get an affirmative answer. Just be careful: this trick is often used by employees of restaurants to make the clients buy more food.
#6
While a person is concentrated on a job (for example, in the middle of a serious phone conversation), you can extend your hand and take whatever they are holding at the moment. Most likely, they might even not remember it later on.
This trick works the other way around too since you can give them something, and they won’t even notice.
#7 When You tell someone that they can’t do something, they will try hard to prove you wrong.
#8 If you start nodding a little bit during a conversation, the person you are talking to definitely will be more attentive to your words without even realizing why.
#9
Generally, it works like magic. When you like a person’s offer, but you want to get more, pretend to be a little bit disappointed. You can say this can work with a high price or a low salary.
#10
When your alarm clock rings in the morning, you should get up a little for a second, make fists, and yell, “Yeah,”. This will sound strange, but it will give you a sense of freshness and allow you to get up easily.
#11
Sometimes, you get worried whether you locked the door or not, or if your iron is off, say some absurd phrase when doing these things (the sentence should be different every day.) For instance, you can say “green rabbit” and turn the iron off, or “oppressive crab” and lock the door.
Eventually, the next time you think about your open/closed door, you will remember that you said this weird phrase and will most likely calm down.
#12 Whenever a person tries to get you involved in an argument or a scandal, tell them something nice. This definitely will drive them mad.
#13 If you have a problem with someone, but you don’t want to accuse them of something directly, change the way you speak. Instead of saying, “You didn’t close the window,” You should rephrase it to “The window remained open.”
#14 When you don’t get a good night’s sleep, try to tell your brain that you did. It may sound weird, but if you are entirely sure of your words, it will work 100%.
#15
Almost all people remember what happened in the beginning and at the end of the day. What happened between these 2 points in time is blurry. So, when discussing a time for a job interview, choose either an early time or a very late time to make sure that the employer will remember you among all other candidates.
