Counting down from number twelve. When a group of people are laughing, each person looks at the individual he or she likes the most.

This is because they want to make sure that the object of their desires approves of and shares their sense of humor.
So in order to find out everything about a group of friends get a few really good jokes ready and watch everybody like a hawk.
Your observations might turn out really surprising!
Number 11, chew on something when you're nervous
Before an important conversation, a public speech, or another event that makes you nervous, you should try to choose some gum or even eat something.
A 2011 study at Tokyo medical and dental university concluded that the chewing motion greatly reduces feelings of anxiety
The thing is that nobody eats when they're in danger so while you're chewing your brain thinks it's safe to relax
It sends a signal that relieves tension and helps calm you down. You're basically tricking your own brain
The same tokyo research explains that some ancient Mayans and greeks
who used to chew on tree resin were less ants than their peers who didn't share this habit
Oh, maybe this is where the expression "She really chewed him out" came from
wow that would make her a stressed out cannibal. Okay, maybe not
number ten
Staring can help you get any information you need.
If you don't like the answer someone has given you, or it seems they're not telling you the whole story
Just keep staring at them.
In this situation, the silence will be so unbearable that they'll be ready to tell you anything just to end it
After all, the purpose of a stare is persuasion
Try it out and see if it works. If you're successful give us a thumbs up
Hey, my dog uses that on me all the time
number nine
Imagine that your future employer is a good friend of yours.
To avoid getting the jitters during an oral exam or a job interview
Imagine that the person in front of you is a friend you haven't seen in ages
This will help calm you down really quickly and answering the person's questions will be much easier
Another point to keep in mind why not consider the possibility that the interviewer is as nervous as you are
You never know?
Maybe it's their first hiring interview or their first exam as a teacher, and if you come in with a smile
You'll not only feel more confident yourself, but put them at ease too
number eight if you have to work with people a lot, put a mirror behind you
If you have to talk to a lot of people at work hang a small mirror behind your desk
You'll be surprised that many people will be more polite and ready to meet you halfway in negotiations
This is because nobody likes to see themselves angry or annoyed
Cool is that and the most important thing is that these psychological tips work.
By the way, we have a lot more videos that reveal the secrets of human psychology
Check out the links at the top of the screen once you've watched this video till the end
number seven if you think someone is looking at you, just yawn.
oddly enough, yawning is like the common call
there's even a phenomenon called "contagious yawning"
It's typical for humans and chimpanzees to yawn when they see, hear, or just think about yawning
some individuals are less influenced by others yawns, but
out of 328 participants of a study conducted at the Duke University School of Medicine
222 yawn while watching a video of people yawning.
are you yawning right now just hearing about for those
hmm yeah that works
So it's more likely than not you'll be able to use yawning to see who's watching you
o figure it out, just yawn, and look around. In most cases the person who is staring at you will yawn, too
Not only that but if you do this when the Sun comes up you can yawn at dawn
Thank you very much
number six if you want to break up a fight get something to eat and stand between people who are fighting
This is called the snack man effect really
the story goes that one day a fight broke out on a New York subway train
a woman attacked a man who she claimed had been following her
in the middle of the fight, another man got up and stepped between them.
He stood there for some time just nonchalantly
snacking on his Pringles
Miraculously the fighting passengers chilled out and peace was restored
The hero of the day was dubbed the snack man and became internet famous
There's a simple psychological explanation for what happened that day
Eating is associated with relaxation and being calm.
the probability of a person attacking someone who is eating is very low
So the conflict resolves itself in no time
number 5 if you want to get rid of something, just hand it to someone while talking to them
Imagine you're moving boxes or picking up around the house if you need a helping hand but no one is offering
Just ask someone nearby a personal question or their opinion on something
When the person is answering the question their brain is so busy formulating thoughts that all other actions switch to autopilot
in this situation your conversation partner will take whatever you give them without even thinking
I can't wait to try that one
number 4 if you want to easily become friends with someone just ask them for a favor
It doesn't have to be a huge favor
Just something simple: passing the sauce, a napkin, a sheet of paper or even asking for some advice
The person who's doing the favor will think they like you
because they're doing something for you, however trivial it may be
here's what one woman says: "well, I never really liked the guy until one day
He asked me to lend him 20 bucks. I then thought he considered me a close enough
Maybe even a friend to help him and voila! I started to like him."
number 3
schedule important meetings for the beginning or the end of the day.
people remember things best when they happen at the beginning and the end of the day
Everything in between is a blur
That's why we recommend sending up important meetings for these times of the day
if you have a job interview, try to be either the first or the last candidate
Another trick to make participants attend and be punctual
is to specify a weird time in duration for the meeting
It's called the Swiss train's approach
if a person sees a meeting from 922 to 946 on their schedule,
they're more likely to be on time and things will stick to the agenda more precisely
number two
Pay attention to the direction of feet while talking to other people
Now, people's feet can help you understand their true feelings in a conversation
If you come to them and they turn their body to you
But not their feet it means they're not interested in talking to you
Also, if the tips of their shoes are facing a different direction it means they want to get away as soon as possible
Or it could mean that they had their hips replaced and somehow the doctor screwed it up.
not likely, but I'm just saying
and number 1
Copying other people's body language will help you win their trust
Repeating somebody's gestures posture or facial expressions can help you win their trust
the person doesn't consciously realize that they see themselves in you because of the familiar gestures and
Let's be frank most people like themselves
The most important thing here is to not overdo it.
for instance, if they pick their nose, don't mirror that one
use common sense
Also, so that people see that you're paying attention
Smile when you're listening to their good news and frown at the mention of bad events in their life
got it
Another great technique to win trust is a sincere smile
When your smile isn't forced, your mood improves you start to exude warmth and people feel it
