7 Psychology Tactics I Probably Shouldn't Tell You
1. If you want someone to be more open with you, make them laugh or relax before asking the real question.
2. To create romantic tension, try the "triangle gaze": slowly move your eyes between their eyes and lips.
3. The people who give the best advice often carry the most problems of their own.
4. If you suspect someone is lying, don't rush to question them. Hold eye contact and stay silent— let them fill the space.
5. Natural, sustained eye contact can increase intimacy and attraction between two people.
6. If someone is yelling at you, don't match their energy. Stand still, stay calm, and look them in the eyes— their loss of control may reveal more than their words.
7. Before making a request, say, "I know you may not agree." It can lower their defenses and make them consider your request more carefully.
