13 Psychological Tricks That Can Help You Communicate With Anyone...(must READ) by Brown14: 6:25pm On Jan 08, 2016 |
Have you ever been talking to someone and no
matter how much you tried, you just weren’t
clicking with them? They just didn’t seem to
understand what you were asking for, or maybe
they misunderstood everything you said.
What can you do to get on the same page as
someone, communication-wise?
An article on Bright Side reveals the psychological
tricks that can help you communicate with almost
anyone. Some are so simple that they seem
obvious, while others are more complex.
1. Wait it out: If the person you’re speaking with
gives you an unsatisfactory answer — a lie, or a
response that’s confusing or unclear — don’t ask
the question again. Instead, simply focus in on
their eyes and don’t say anything. This technique
will make him or her feel a bit trapped, and
they’ll feel compelled to continue their thoughts.
2. Stay cool: If someone screams at you, don’t do
anything, as your reaction can lead them to
anger. Once the anger dissipates, they’ll probably
feel guilty for their aggressive and unpleasant
behavior, and will apologize.
3. Remain nearby: If you know that a person is
going to criticize, blame or make comments
about you, face your fear and try to sit or stand
beside them. If you’re close, that person will be
less negative about you than if you were at a
distance.
4. Chew gum: Eating a meal is often a$$ociated
with safety and feeling relaxed, so if you’re
worried about an encounter with someone, chew
some gum. It will fool your brain into thinking
that you’re eating and that there’s nothing to be
alarmed about it. You’ll feel much more
confident.
5. Imagine that the person you need to impress
is a good friend: If you have a job interview or
have to take an important test, pretend that the
interviewer or proctor is a close friend. You’ll feel
calmer and will be able to answer questions
easier.
6. Look at people’s eyes after telling a joke: If a
group of people begin laughing at the same time,
everybody in that group will instinctively look at
the person they like the most or the person with
whom they want to get closer to. If you focus on
people’s eyes after comedy gold, you’ll get some
valuable information.
7. Be happier than normal when meeting
someone: Every time you meet someone,
articulate a little more happiness than usual
toward the person: smile sincerely or try to say
their name kindly and warmly. Over time, you’ll
start relating much better with this person, and
the enjoyment of meeting will be sincere.
8. Put a mirror behind yourself at work: If your
work is connected to people, it’s possible to
encourage them (without their knowledge) to
behave better. Generally, people always try to
look their best in a mirror, and never want to
appear to themselves as jerks. If there’s a mirror
behind you, people will see their reflections, and
will smile and be nicer.
9. Apply the one-two rule: If you want to get the
attention of someone you like, look at something
directly behind their shoulders. Once you know
that you’ve caught the other person’s sight,
quickly look into their eyes and smile.
10. Control your stress: When we’re stressed, we
have a tendency to breathe deeper, while our
heart pounds ridiculously fast. When this
happens, try to force yourself to breathe at a
more regular pace and calm down your
heartbeat. You have the power to relax right out
of the stress zone.
11. Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of eye-
contact: If you want to make a great first
impression with a potential love interest or get
someone’s sympathy, focus in on their eye color;
intense eye-contact can be effective in building
trust and connection with another person.
12. Raise the bar: When you’re first making your
terms known, make them exceedingly high,
knowing that the person that you’re negotiating
with will probably not agree to them. However,
the person might agree on the actual terms you
offer later. People tend to cave in on a smaller
request or requirement when they’ve denied you
on something larger beforehand.
13. Exhibit self-confidence: People are drawn to
others with self-confidence in themselves and
their actions. So even if you’re not extremely
self-a$$ured, if you look like you are, people will
believe it.
Much of being a good communicator is in the
eye-contact, smiling, acting confident, and tricking
yourself into being relaxed. And these are skills
you already have in your power.
