Psychological tricks

Being in a group of people, regardless of whether it’s friends or not well-known people, after hearing something funny, we look instinctively on the person we like the most. In the case of people we know, it will be the person we like most, but in another case, it can be an individual to whom we feel respect.

When you suspect someone is staring at you, pretend to yawn because yawning is very contagious. If your suppositions were correct, the other person should also start to yawn. (Note: It does not work for psychopaths … :) )

If you expect a longer speech during a conversation, then when you finish talking, look at that person. It will be a bit embarrassing and should force the other person to speak. This person will do this to interrupt this moment of awkward silence.

Chewing gum works well on your nerves. It allows us to reduce stress and simply relax faster. That’s why, when you’re upset, you already know what to do … (Note: Do not talk to someone while chewing gum, because it can be perceived as uncultured or disrespectful by another person).

When you suspect the other person that he or she is not too fond of you or just is not very favorably disposed towards you, ask that person to do you a small favor. For example, ask that person to give you something, show it or temporarily borrow it. You can also ask if this person could explain something to you.

When applying for a job, go directly to the owner of the company (of course, if it is possible) and say openly about your ambitions for a job. Ask straight what you can do, how to proceed and what path to follow to get there. It will make a good impression on the owner of the company and will certainly treat you differently than others. He will probably remember you for a long time, because not every day there are such self-confident and open people talking about their goals.

Look discreetly at your interlocutor’s feet because they reveal the true intent of the person. When you approach people talking to each other and want to join, and they turn their torso, however, they will not turn their feet in your direction, you are probably unwelcome. When one of the feet is directed to us while talking to another person, but a second foot is directed outside, it may be a sign that the person is in a hurry, or simply would like to be somewhere else at the moment. During a conversation in a group of people, the rates of individual persons may be directed towards the person they most like.

When someone is arguing and the situation can turn into a more serious conflict, standing between them with a sandwich and eating the sandwich, it will probably cause that it will unload a bit of a tense situation. This is for a very simple reason, when we are ready to fight, we have no appetite and do not eat in such situations. In turn, food is associated with a state of relaxation and security.
