The Psychology Tricks That'll Help You Be More Successful in Work, Love, and Life in General
If someone is trying to intimidate you in a conversation, stare at their forehead with a blank expression to make them feel self conscious Whenever you're introducing a new idea to someone, lead with the words, "I'm not sure if this is for you, but..." It engages the person's interest and makes them feel like it IS probably for them If you need to remember to do something tomorrow, put something in your room out of place.

Instead, tell yourself you only have to work for five minutes. You'll most likely continue to work even after the five minutes are up If you want to get someone to like you more, ask them to do a small favor for you. Their subconscious mind will think that they like you because they're doing this favor for you Also, call someone by their name. People love to hear their name called by someone else because it makes them feel important and appreciated If someone gives you an answer to a question that you're not happy with, remain quiet instead of pushing them for more information. Your silence will make them feel the need to elaborate more And finally, when your friends apologize for something that doesn't seem like a big deal to you, they're typically trying to show you the things that bother THEM. For example, if they apologize for interrupting you, it probably means they don't like being interrupted
