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.
- Destroy and bury evidence
- Wipe down area
- 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!

Great tips! He who speaks first loses! The person asking the questions is the one in control of the conversation.
Exactly.
Thanks for the resteem! Followed!
Good content! I read your other article on homelessness and that's when I followed you. Do you plan to share more of your experience some time, especially what it took to get back on your feet? Seems like you've come a long way in a short time.
Thank you!
I have two sister articles in the works, I'll be posting them this week. One is broader depth, there were a lot of people who were asking questions, and some of the answers are better served in depth.
Great idea, I will write a post of how I got us out. Yes, it was a lot and in a very short time. If you have any other questions please post them here or PM me on discord, I'll be happy to answer them in the next article :)
Thanks for following!
Look forward to it and I will!
You did a lot of work on this post! Too bad my upvote was worth only 0.01
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
There's more to come, this is first in a series
That was EPIC. I laughed out loud at a few of those. And the gifs....oh, well done. :)
Thank you!
It's great to meet you! Small world- I was just over at the tabby story!
Glad to meet you, too. I hoped you might find my tabby story, when I saw your username. It kind of indicates you may like cats. :)
Shhh... Can't let everyone in on that- I already get more kittens in boxes abandoned at my door in the middle of the night than I can help by myself :) I am part of a network tho, so we have each others backs.
I got my most recent cat, Emma, through a rescue group last year. I made the mistake of looking at a Facebook page my brother's business partner recommended to me, where all the cats at the county's "kill shelter" whose time was about up were listed. My brother and his business partner also rescue TONS of cats, and a few dogs, on the side.
I couldn't stop thinking about those cats, and finally, over my husband's deep objections, I agreed to take in this teeny, tiny tabby kitten, just until she was old enough to be adopted, then send her back to the rescue group.
I taught her to eat and drink out of bowls, and how to use the litter box. When the time came to bring her in for an adoption event at the local pet store, I couldn't do it. She was mine. I loved her. Those were my exact words, actually. "No. She's mine. I love her."
So, she became my fourth cat, and I had to stop looking at that cat page on Facebook, or I'd have a house full of them. Oddly, even though Emma is the youngest cat (she just turned a year old a month ago), she is now the biggest and heaviest. When I brought her home, I could pick her up with one hand and stand up with ease. Now, I can barely pick her up with two arms from a standing position. She got BIG. She eats the same food as the other cats, so I don't know what made her so huge. She defers to the other, smaller kitties who have seniority, though, so she respects the cat hierarchy here. :)
That is good she respects her elders, lol
About her size- have you had her checked for all worms?
Lol I am guilty of THE SAME THING. I just can't NOT save them! My youngest always wants to go look at the animals at the stores, I always have to fight him. Why mom? Because I just know we'll end up bringing ANOTHER home. lol
She's been thoroughly checked by the vet at the shelter, and by my vet, so I guess she's okay on the worm thing. It's just like her body grew much faster than her head. She's still got this little kitten head, and a huge body that doesn't match it. Lol! She is super energetic, as you would expect a cat that age to be, and can jump more than 3/4 of the way to the ceiling. She's almost acrobatic. When you pick her up, she doesn't feel fat, she feels muscular. None of the other kitties in the house are like that.
I totally understand where you're coming from with the rescuing of kitties. I'd bring them all home with me if I could. I'm already one cat away from being a crazy cat lady as it is (my husband said five or more cats makes you a crazy cat lady, and I have four. Lol!).
I have four resident kitties, so I'm right there with you sister!
Eventually I want a 24 hour rescue shelter. I will work with the nearby Veterinary school for the students time in exchange for credit. It's a labor of love long in the making :)
