Barely Legal Psychological Life Hacks to Make you Win at Life! Part1

Have you ever wanted to control the outcome? Wish they would see it your way with a flick of a magic wand?

Look no further! I have compiled a list of psychological life hacks that will beguile those you wish to manipulate, give you the edge in any social situation, and make you win at life.

Staring Contest

If you are not satisfied with something someone told you, remain silent and look at them. The fusion of eye contact with awkward silence pressures the person into speaking and revealing more. Be careful not to try this on complete strangers, you don’t want to trigger the crazed looking tattooed individual with a stare down.

Laughter is revealing

The best chance to see who likes you the most is when laughter breaks out in a group. Typically, each person in the group will naturally glance at the one that they like and trust the most. If she has a crush on you she will instinctively look at you while laughing. Or she’s giggling at the big booger hanging from your nose.

Priorities

Do the most difficult task first. That way you are sortof rewarding yourself throughout the day.

  1. Destroy and bury evidence
  2. Wipe down area
  3. Pack bags and flee to extradition free country


Marking tasks as complete is it's own reward!

Yes Man

It’s an old used car salesman technique that can be used in any situation. When you’re trying to persuade someone, get them to say yes to two small things first. They’ll be more likely to continue to say yes for that big thing.

“Mom, can I go to the grocery store with you this weekend and help you with the big shopping?”
Yes
“Mom, did you see my latest grades online? Aren’t I doing good?”
Why yes dear, I am proud you’re turning it around.
“Mom, can you buy me this motorcycle?”
Ye- What? Have you lost your mind?”

Well, at least be reasonable with your requests.

Road Trip

Travelling is the best way to truly get to know someone. Before you pop the question take a multiday road trip with your significant other. How one handles the sudden and unforeseen stressors of the open road will show you if you can spend the rest of your life with that person, or if you will spend your days wishing you had left them at that road side stand outside of Milwaukee.

Internet Anonymity

Is an oxymoron.
The only way to win an argument online is to not participate. And just because you can post something anonymously doesn’t mean you should.

Shut your mouth! Part 1

Speak only if it improves upon the silence. Avoid verbal diarrhea.

Shut your mouth! Part 2

Think before you speak. Think before you take action. Just Think! You will rise above the masses with this simple trick.

Hips don't lie

Copying someone’s body language has two effects. You get a feel for the emotions they are experiencing and get a better view of what they are thinking, and they will instinctively trust you. If they cross their legs, you do the same. Shift positions? Follow suit. If they rip off all their clothes and run screaming down the hall? Hey, when in Rome…

Just do it

Don’t make small talk before you ask for a favor. It makes you appear like you only care to talk when you want something. Make small talk afterwards instead.

You- “Hey man! Can you help me clean up this eviden- er mess?”
Him- “Sure!”
You- “So how’s the wife?”
Him- he must really cherish our friendship! “Great! Here, let me help you with that awkwardly rolled up rug!”

Thank you for reading, and may the force be ever in your favor!
