What is the easiest psychological trick you can play on someone?

use this trick all the time when someone is yelling at me over the phone:

  • Stay completely silent.

    Don’t ignore them. Speak to them when they speak to you. But when they’re talking to you, say nothing. Stay absolutely silent. No “mmm”, no “Uh-huh”. Nada. Don’t give them any subconscious feedback.
    Humans naturally try to get feedback from one another in a conversation - the other person will start sensing that something is off. It usually throws them off track and they stop screaming or swearing and just tend to let you know what they really want.

    It’s by far the best way to shut up someone without being rude. It works as well face to face. But you have to avoid moving your hands, nodding, or other subconscious behavior.

  • Want a person to think everyone doesn’t like him? Just say - “I just want you to know I personally have no problem with you being at this party”

  • When I know that someone doesn’t really like me, or doesn’t care about me, I’ll simply ask them to do favors for me, really small ones. Like passing me salt, passing me a drink or other really small and easy task. When they do that, I express my gratitude and tell them they really helped out. People generally are pretty self-observing and they always try to make sense of what they do. By helping you, they are subconsciously changing their opinion from negative to positive.

  • "Everything people say about you is true" - OUCH. Or maybe a friendly variation - “Hey man, I dont care about what they say about you, I think you’re chill.” Credits to Wyatt Thompson.

  • Stare at their forehead between, but slightly above their eyes. People tend to have a harder time lying to you or trying to influence you.

Not really a trick, but here goes - I have a habit of acting like everything is alright when it's actually not. I don't do it to frick with people on purpose but it does have that effect.

I once had a boss who was yelling at me, and I kept taking slow sips of my coffee throughout and that really triggered him. I didn’t really do anything wrong, it’s just how he was.

I crack up when I think back on him getting all fired up, turning red, then screaming that I needed to stop drinking coffee.

Although on most occasions our brain guides us correctly, there are certain instances or times when it can mislead us too. Surprised? Well, try out these mind tricks to play on people around you; your friends, colleagues, and see the change in the way they interact and communicate with you on a daily basis.

At the work place, there are several mind tricks that you can play at your workplace, in order to make a very good impression on your colleagues and superiors. Being well-dressed is a mind trick in itself. Crisp ironed clothes, especially black-colored outfits, make a very dominating and mature impression on people around you. For guys, you can even grow a French beard. It is necessary to trim it properly everyday.

During an argument, one of the best mind tricks to play on people or your friends, in case of an argument, is known as ‘lukewarm water’. In an argument, all you need to do is act lukewarm. Give a firm and sturdy reply while maintaining an erect posture, a steady, glassy stare, and a cold voice. This is sufficient to visibly shake the person in front of you, and there is a very small chance that he or she would quarrel or argue with you again. They key is to appear absolutely confident about whatever you are debating on. This is the best way to argue with a friend, as it effectively finishes off a quarrel or an argument, and does not result into any crumpled feelings.

In a relationship, Sustaining a healthy relationship can be a daunting task for some people. Constant arguments and disagreements will always be a part of any relationship. But understanding the mind’s philosophy can greatly reduce their frequency. One of the key factors in doing this is to learn how to throw your ego out of the window. When an argument with your significant other takes place, understand that prolonging it will only lead to a lose-lose situation, as neither party would be willing to concede defeat. The trick is to accept the other person’s opinion, and unless necessary, do not react to it. More often than not, you would find your partner pleasantly shocked that you did not react. And instead of basking in ‘victory’, he or she would actually feel guilty and try to achieve a balanced solution. Sometimes, they may even totally reject their own opinion and turn in favor of yours.

To avoid a fight, quite often it happens that some people on the street may try to pick a fight with you for no reason. It is always better to ignore such persons, but when they just won’t quit trying to provoke you, you can use the following trick to avoid a fight. Always look into the eye of the person trying to provoke you, but not in an aggressive manner. This makes the person feel that you are actively paying attention to them and not ignoring them. If you look away, that can lead to making the aggressor more agitated, and thus increase the chances of a fight. Look into the person’s eye and talk in a composed manner. More often than not, the aggressor will start feeling stupid or guilty for unnecessarily trying to create a fight, and will just let you be. I hope this helps you with your daily routine

Communicating and dealing with people can be hard for everyone at one point or another. Whether it’s work-related or if it’s pleasure, it’s important to learn these psychological tricks to make things run much more smoothly. These are not to be confused with ways to maliciously manipulate others into getting what you want but to simply improve overall communication and relationships with others.
