never start your request with the words
could you it can cause the other person
to subconsciously assume that this is a
theoretical question for example avoid
questions like could you call the
neighbors because the answer yes can
mean yes I theoretically could but I
didn't agree to it sure could is polite
but it's better to rephrase your request
to please call the neighbors if you want
to be sure that it'll be fulfilled 2. if
you ever want to make someone feel
uncomfortable look at the middle of
their forehead during the conversation
most people say it makes them feel like
they're under scrutiny which of course
doesn't exactly make a person relaxed
not sure why you'd want to do this to
others but who knows the situation may
arise three
if someone you're talking to is trying
to avoid answering a question just make
a pause in the conversation while still
keeping eye contact they'll feel
uncomfortable and thus will keep talking
chances are they'll give you more
details about the issue you're
interested in they may even start
telling you the truth if they were lying
since they'll believe that your silence
and your look are signs that you already
know the real facts
four let's say you've started a new job
or school if you want someone in the
office or class to like you just ask
them to explain something to you it
doesn't matter if you know the answer or
not this will improve the other person's
overall attitude towards you and earn
you some extra brownie points
5. when asking a question that you want
an affirmative answer to try to nod
subtly as you make your request this
trick is often used by restaurant
employees to make guests buy more food
and it's pretty effective
6. if a person is really concentrated on
a task let's say they're in middle of a
serious phone conversation you can
extend your hand to them and get
anything they're holding at the moment
they might not even remember later on
the trick works the other way around too
you can give them something as you're
talking to them and they won't even
notice pretty helpful when you're
cleaning up or moving to a new house
7. if you want somebody to do something
for you casually say how they probably
wouldn't even be able to do it most
people will try really hard to prove
someone wrong when it comes to doubting
their capabilities you can also make a
small or unusual request before getting
down to the main issue in this case
you'll establish a connection with the
person so they probably won't have the
heart to turn you down afterwards 8.
just like with questions you need to get
an affirmative answer to start nodding
just a little bit during a conversation
interestingly enough this will make the
person you're talking to more attentive
to your words and they won't even
realize why
9. here's a good one for negotiations if
you like a person's offer in general but
would like to get better conditions
prepare to be a little bit disappointed
this method can work like magic with a
high price or a low salary
10. as soon as your alarm clock goes off
sit up make two fists NGL yeah as if
you're a soccer player who's just scored
a goal it sounds bizarre but it really
does help you easily get out of bed
feeling refreshed just try it for
yourself and let us know down in the
comments if it worked for you 11. if
you're always worried whether or not you
lock the door or turns your iron off
just say some absolutely absurd phrase
when you're doing these things the
phrase could be different every single
day for example you say green rabbit and
turn the iron off or oppressive crab and
lock the door the next time you start
doubting whether or not you did
something you'll remember saying this
weird phrase and it'll calm you down 12.
if a person tries to pull you into an
argument or some kind of drama say
something nice to them the old kill em
with kindness trick really does stop
them in their tracks another technique
is to keep your calm and remain silent
there's nothing more irritating than
being ignored however if you're trying
to avoid an argument with your friend or
partner try to put yourself in their
shoes this can help you understand if
there's some point in their objections
that you are missing 13. if you have
that one lazy person on your team that
slows the whole work process down don't
give them tasks by saying do this it's
better to say start with this
psychologically it'll seem like there's
less work because according to this
phrase they should start with something
small after they've done the first task
use the words very good now continue
with this until they end up finishing
what you wanted them to do in the first
place
14. if you have to speak in public don't
forget to take a bottle of water with
you first of all you'll need it since
your nurse will make your mouth feel
like the Sahara Desert plus you can take
a pause to sip some water in order to
remember a part of your speech that
slipped your mind the audience will
never know and if you feel too anxious
to speak in front of a large crowd admit
this fact to the audience right away it
lightens the mood calms your nerves and
it makes your listeners feel more
sympathetic since most of them can
probably relate 15. if someone is
staring at you in the subway happens all
too often right just look at their shoes
don't give up keep gazing it'll drive
them crazy
16. if you seem really worried each time
you see someone you know in the end this
person will also start feeling worried
every time they see you so do with that
information what you will
17. if someone has done something wrong
but you don't want to sound too accusing
change the way you construct your
sentences for example instead of saying
you didn't close a window before you
left you can say the window was left
open all night they'll learn from their
mistake and you won't seem like a meanie
pointing the finger 18. if you didn't
get a good night's sleep tell yourself
that you did I know it sounds like
nonsense but it does work 100 percent if
you say it with meaning scientists from
Colorado College published a study in
the Journal of experimental psychology
in which they found that if you
genuinely believe that you're well
rested even if you're not your brain
does function better 19. people are
better at remembering what happened at
the beginning and end of the day as for
anything that went on in between it gets
blurry this is a great tip when it comes
to job interviews agree to a time that's
either at the the start of the workday
or at the end of it this way the
employer will remember you among all the
other candidates do you know any other
