using dark psychology you can make someone like you more

want someone to like you more, stop doing everything for them and then ask them for a favor. The educated baddie series. I'm studying psychology, here's some facts. I know this sounds backwards, but this is actually a psychological reason and it's called the Benjamin Franklin effect. The theory suggests that when someone voluntarily does a small favor for you, they might begin to view you more positively. Because our brains like our actions and beliefs to make sense together. So subconsciously, the thought process may be, why did I go out of my way to help her? Maybe it's because I like her. They're brain might slightly change how they feel about you. Benjamin Franklin supposedly used this with someone who didn't like him. Instead of trying to win him over by being overly nice, Franklin asked to borrow a rare book from his collection. The man agreed. Franklin returned the book with a thank you note and apparently the relationship became much more friendly afterwards. But before you start asking your crush to, you know, help you move house, the favor has to be small. As for their opinion, ask for a recommendation on a song or ask something like, wait, should I post this? Because people enjoy being helpful. Now, this isn't mind control. One favor isn't going to make someone fall in love with you. But maybe stop trying so hard to get someone to like you and give them an opportunity to realize that they already do.
