1.When at a party or a meeting..

Crack a joke and observe the people who are laughing around you. People who feel close to each other will be looking at each other. This is useful for discerning out friendships and

other relationships.

2. Hack the boss.

you know someone who is mad at you or has it out for you, sit

next to them in a particular meeting, this will reduce the

confrontation level.

3. Feet don't lie.

To know if someone is interested in a conversation, look at their feet, if they are pointing towards you, they are. If

they are pointing sideways or any other direction, they aren't. Feet don't lie.

4. The life hack to make people

do what you want them to do.Give someone a choice instead of a

command. For example, instead of saying drink your milk to a toddler, ask which

mug would he/she like to drink milk from. This gives the person a sense of control hence, produces a higher chance of a

better outcome.Image source: http://www.phrasemix.com/

5. The art of silence.

When in a conversation keep your silence even after they have finished speaking.

More often than not, they will start talking again to avoid the awkward silence. This

one can totally freak people out. Tried and tested.

6. The foot-in-the-door phenomenon.

People are more likely to agree to do a task for you if you ask them to do something simpler first. Gradual

Commitment, makes people them think you like them. Even if, deep down, you

want them to burn. *evil laugh* >:)

7. Walking in the crowd.

Avoid the sidewalk, shuffle by looking intently over the person's shoulder, or

between people's heads in a group. Your gaze shows the crowd where you're

going. They'll drift towards the opposite side or create a gap to avoid you. Try it

the next time you're out catching a train

8. Chewing gum.

When you're approaching a situation that would make you nervous like public speaking or bungee

jumping, chew on a gum. If we are 'eating' something, our brain reasons it like 'I would not be eating if I were danger. So I must not be in

danger'. Chewing gum all the time, however, will just make you look like a cow.

9. Keep calm and carry on.

Best way to handle a situation when someone is angry with you. If you stay calm, and not react,

it'll get them even angrier, and be ashamed about it after, and apologise. Been on both sides of the fence on this one, trust me, keeping calm

is the best thing.

10. Inception

My favourite. To plant a seed of idea in someone’s mind, ask them to not think of a particular thing

at all. Let’s say I ask you to NOT think about ELEPHANTS. What are you thinking of?

;)Have fun trying these out.
