Plus a few lessons in psychology that might help
Here are some body languages and psychological tricks that you might find interesting:
The feet don’t lie
When you approach a person or group of people, try to notice if they turn their feet’s towards you. If they do, then you’re welcome. If they don’t, well, keep moving Bob.
The Ask
If you want somebody to like you, ask them for a favour; it can be as little as borrowing a pen or asking for the time. They will feel that they have made an investment in you, and hence, they’ll be more open to you.
The Nod
When you nod your head while speaking, you tend to encourage the other person listening to mirror the gesture and agree with what your saying.
The Laugh
When you’re in a group of people and someone says something funny and everybody starts laughing, try to notice who’s looking at you while laughing. People tend to look at the person they feel closest to when they laugh.
The Shoes
When in a public place, if someone keeps looking at you so much it’s becoming frustrating, just look at their shoes…like, for a long time; this will make them feel so uncomfortable, they’ll probably back off.
Bonus trick
If you get pulled over by a cop and he asks if you know how fast you were going, say “I don’t know, but you must have been going faster if you caught up to me.” This will cause him to have an existential crisis, giving you a chance to escape.
