- [Host] Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video.
Before we start, we would like to thank you all
for the support you've given us.
Psych2Go's mission is to make psychology and mental health
more accessible to everyone.
Now, back to the video.
Have you ever felt like someone didn't like you
when they haven't even said anything to you?
Maybe it's the way they look at you
or how they turn away from you.
Whatever it is, their body language may be sending you
a message that they don't want to say out loud.
Without using any words,
they may be trying to show you that they dislike you.
So here are seven signs someone may secretly hate you.
Number one, their body language is not open.
Have you noticed the other person crossing their arms,
leaning back, or just sitting really far away from you?
Open body language shows that someone likes you
and wants to accept you.
Their body language physically shows
that they're open to letting you into their lives.
So it may not be a good sign if they exhibit
closed-off body language, such as by turning away from you
or putting a lot of distance between the two of you.
Number two, they avoid eye contact with you.
Do they constantly avoid looking at you?
Eye contact is a way for people
to get each other's attention and to start conversation.
So they may be avoiding your gaze
to avoid needing to talk to you and to show their dislike.
It should be noted that some who are shy or socially awkward
may also avoid eye contact due to anxiety,
not because they hate you.
So look for other body language signs, along with this one,
to determine what they really feel about you.
Number three, intense eye contact.
Does it feel like the other person is forcing themselves
to maintain eye contact with you?
Sometimes they may know that avoiding eye contact
would be too obvious to show their disinterest,
and so they may overcompensate
with too much eye contact instead.
Their eye contact may feel unnatural,
and they may nod along to what you say
without paying any real attention.
Number four, their conversations with you seem fake.
Does the person seem to constantly nod along
to whatever you have to say?
To avoid being seen as rude,
they may try to fake being friendly with you.
While they may chuckle and nod along in your conversation,
they may not actually be engaged in the conversation.
If their responses don't feel genuine
and their body language seems closed off,
then it may be a sign they're disinterested in you
or what you have to say.
Number five, they don't mimic.
Instead, they reflect the opposite of your body language.
Did you know that mirroring and mimicking someone's actions
is a subtle way that tells them you like them?
This subconscious behavior is known in psychology
as the chameleon-effect.
So if you notice the person you are talking to
isn't mirroring you, and may even be acting the opposite
of your body language, then it may mean that
they're not engaged in the conversation
and not interested in you.
Number six, they are to-the-point
and don't tend to talk further.
If they respond to your questions
with short and cold statements or a simple yes or no,
being curt and short with you may mean
that they don't wanna continue the conversation with you.
Their avoidance to share or elaborate on their answers
could also be a subtle way of telling you
that they dislike you, don't trust you,
or don't want to continue talking to you.
And number seven, they don't get in touch or stay in touch.
Do they always cancel on your plans
or never reach out to you?
If someone is not making an effort to talk to you,
text you, call you, or hang out with you,
they probably don't value you as a friend.
They may even dislike you if they never follow up
on any plans you've discussed
or have ignored your efforts to reconnect.
Have you noticed any of these telltale signs
in the people you talk to?

Oh, and PS, if they hate you,
they probably don't deserve you anyways.
