- [Narrator] Hey, Psych2Goers,
welcome back to another video.
Thank you all so much for the love and support
that you've given us,
enabling us to make yet another exploration
into everyday psychology.
So, let's begin.
They like me, they like me not.
Does it feel as if you're plucking petals
trying to decipher whether someone likes you?
Or do they avoid you?
Or are you overthinking it?
You may think someone can't stand you
and that may not be the case at all.
It can be hard to figure out
someone's true thoughts about you
but there are some subtle signs that you can pick up on
to get to the bottom of it.
Whether it be romantic or just general feelings about you.
Here are six signs a person likes you,
even if you don't think so.
Number one, they try to get close to you.
You must've thought this obvious, right?
But don't be surprised because even so
it's actually quite easily missed.
Yeah, truly.
Have you ever noticed anyone always around you,
perhaps out of the corner of your eye,
you always see the same person.
You may not think much about it
but people try to get physically closer
to the people that they like.
Whether it be by moving objects separating you two
such as a plate or a pillow,
or taking the same walking route as you.
People try to get close to you in many ways.
After all, if someone truly doesn't like you
chances are you wouldn't see them very often.
Number two, they walk beside you.
Any guesses as to why this may be a sign?
Here's the thing.
It's easier to talk to, maintain eye contact
and get physically closer to someone
when walking next to them.
So naturally people who like you
will wanna walk beside you and maintain your pace.
However, someone may also like you and walk behind you.
This means they're too shy to walk beside you
but still wanna be near you.
If they walk in front of you
they're probably more concerned with where they're going
than talking to you.
Basically someone who likes you
will try to be near you in any way they can.
Number three, their body language is open to you.
Did they tilt their head towards you,
or lean in when you were laughing
in your recent conversation with them?
Were they playing with their hair
while talking to you?
In a conversation, body language is everything.
Seeing as most people don't know how to control it,
it subconsciously gives away how a lot of people feel
more specifically the way people point their feet
is a big indicator.
If they're pointing at you,
it probably means
they're subconsciously wanting your attention.
The feet are the first things that move
when going somewhere.
So the direction they're facing
also hints at where the person would like to be.
If they're facing you,
the person may be wanting to get closer to you
which is a big sign they like you.
Similarly, if someone has their hands on their hips
exposing their stomach to you
it's a good sign that they're open to you.
As overlooked as body language is
it can tell you a lot
about whether someone likes you.
Number four, they sit up straight around you.
Did you know someone sitting up straight around you
isn't necessarily a sign of them
being on edge and uncomfortable?
It can also mean they're trying to look their best
in front of you.
When sitting up straight,
you show off all your strong features and look a bit taller.
So people often set up straight
around people who they want to impress.
Therefore, when someone sits up straight,
they may look rigid
and like they're trying to put distance between you two
but they may be simply trying to impress you.
Number five, they blink less around you.
Sounds bizarre, right?
But hear this out.
Your blinking rate actually does say a decent amount
about how you're feeling.
According to a study, cited by Psychology Today,
people tend to blink more when they're anxious.
Blinking also serves as a way
to subconsciously block out things we don't like.
So if a person blinks less around you
chances are it's a good sign they like you.
It's their subconscious way
of trying not to miss anything about you.
All eyes on you, watch out.
And number six, they raise their eyebrows when greeting you.
What's a weird thing you've noticed about people being happy
and their eyebrows?
Hint, it has something to do with going up.
People tend to raise their eyebrows
when they're happy and excited.
So you often subconsciously raise your eyebrows
when you're happy to see someone.
It's easy to overlook
and if someone doesn't raise their eyebrows around you
it doesn't mean that they hate you.
However, it is a sign that they like you,
if they always raise their eyebrows and smile at you
it's never easy guessing others' true feelings about you.
It's always a flip-flop
between considering you're overthinking
or perhaps they do actually like you.
You are not alone in this struggle for sure.
Almost everyone has spent many a nights
staying up late and replaying
little interactions and scenarios.
But the important thing to remember
is that whether someone likes you or not is not your fault.
What matters most is that you love yourself.
Do you have anyone in mind right now?
If not, do you think these signs will help you
in the future?
