Do you ever wish you were a mind reader and can control what people thought of you without talking aloud, or do you wish you could speak to people in a more memorable confident way thanks to the science of psychology. There are little things you can do to help control your relationships and even how people perceive you and you don’t need any magical powers to make it happen. Just good old fashion mind tricks.
Let’s start
Here are 10 simple psychological tricks that can work on most people:
- Use someone’s name in conversation: People tend to like the sound of their own name, and using it in conversation can help to build rapport and make them feel more positively towards you.
- Smile: Smiling can help to put people at ease and make them feel more comfortable around you. It can also create a positive, friendly atmosphere.
- Use mirroring: Mirroring someone’s body language can help to build rapport and make them feel more connected to you. Try to match their posture, gestures, and facial expressions.
- Ask for small favors: People tend to like helping others, and asking for a small favor can create a sense of reciprocity and make them feel more positively towards you.
- Use positive language: Using positive, upbeat language can help to create a positive atmosphere and make people feel more positively towards you.
- Give compliments: Giving sincere compliments can help to boost someone’s self-esteem and create positive feelings towards you.
- Use scarcity: Creating a sense of scarcity or urgency can make people feel like they need to act quickly or risk missing out. For example, saying “limited time offer” or “only a few left in stock” can create a sense of urgency.
- Use social proof: People tend to look to others for guidance on what to do or how to behave. Using social proof, such as saying “most people choose this option” can influence people’s decision-making.
- Use authority: People tend to respect and follow the lead of those in positions of authority. Using authority, such as saying “research shows” or “experts recommend” can make people more likely to believe what you say.
- Create a sense of reciprocity: Doing something nice for someone else can create a sense of reciprocity and make them more likely to do something nice for you in return. For example, buying someone a coffee may make them more likely to help you with a project.
