Here are the 7 Social Hacks for Manipulating People
A1.
Whenever someone is angry and confrontational, stand next to them
instead of in front of them. You won’t appear as so much of a threat, and they
eventually calm down.
A2.
Open with “I need your help.” People don’t like the guilt
of not helping someone out. When asking for a favor from someone, begin your
request by saying “I need your help.” It greatly increases your chances of
getting that favor done.
A3.
Rephrase what the other person says and repeat it back to them.
This makes them think you’re listening and really interested in what they’re
saying. It makes them feel validated. Obviously, you don’t want to overdo this.
A4.
If you want someone to agree with you, nod while you talk. This
gets the other person to nod too, and they begin to subconsciously think they
agree with you.
A5.
If someone doesn’t like you, ask to borrow a pencil. It
is a small enough favor that they won’t say no, and it gets them to like you
more. Check out the Benjamin Franklin effect for more explanation.
A6.
Fold your arms to determine interest. If someone is observing
you, they will likely mimic you. Fold your arms, and see if they do it, too.
A7.
Repeat a person’s name many times during a conversation. It
helps you remember it, and makes them like you more.
