Some fun psychological tricks you should know
Hello guys! Lately, I have been skimming through some psychological phenomena that actually makes sense if you think about –not that they never made sense anyway. Today, I came with some fun tricks that you’ll love to know, just like I did.
Here we go!
If someone insults you, pause for a moment and look at them and say, are you okay?
If you think someone is lying, look into their eyes and don't say anything.
If you're in an argument, keep your voice calm. It'll give them the impression you're winning and they'll eventually calm down too.
Good posture increases confidence, so spread your body and take up space in the world.
Our eyes dilate when we're talking to someone we love.
The power pause: When you want someone to feel the silence, don't speak. Their brain hates awkwardness more than you do. Stay quiet, sip your coffee/water and watch them tell you everything.
The mirror trick: If someone's defensive, mirror their body language slightly. Cross your arms, lean in, match their tone. Their brain whispers, same team, tension.
You don't need to feel confident to act confident. Behaviour comes first. Belief follows. Walk like you own it and your brain updates software later.
The emotional download button: Say the feeling out loud. I'm frustrated. I'm anxious. It literally moves the feeling from your amygdala to your prefrontal cortex.
The power of the nod: Say your point and nod. The mirror neurons can't resist joining in.
Want someone to keep thinking about you? Don't finish the story. Their brain hates loose ends. Now you're living rent-free in their prefrontal cortex.
The whisper effect. Lower your voice when saying something important. The brain leans in to listen. Instant gravitas, instant trust.
The reverse calm: When someone's angry, don't match their energy. Slow your breathing, drop your tone. Their nervous system syncs with yours.
Show empathy: You want real power? Empathize. People drop their armor when they feel seen. Empathy is the ultimate cheat code for control.
Now you know, use them responsibly or at least creatively!
