Here is a list of some amazing social hacks you can use in your daily life:
1.If you are in a group and want to find out which group members like each other (or feel closest to), notice them when someone cracks a joke. In such a situation, people will instinctively laugh and look towards the person they feel closest to (or want to).
2.Take a look at the feet of the person you are talking to. If their feet points towards you, then the person wants to continue the conversation. If their feet points away from you, then they want this conversation to end.
3.On your first date, take your partner to somewhere thrilling (like a roller coaster ride). They will associate you with the thrill and think of you as adventurous and outgoing. (Which is always a plus point)
4.Try noticing someone's eye color when you first meet them. People tend to like you more because of that increased eye contact.
5.If you work in a Customer service, put a mirror behind you. People will be nicer to you as nobody wants to see themselves being a jerk.
6.Most people don't know the difference between talent and confidence. Even if you fake it, people tend to believe you and rally around you. Just show them that you know what you are doing.
7.If you are in a group, and expect someone to insult or make fun of you, stand/sit next to them. It makes them lose their pack mentality, and at the least they will be less mean to you.
8.Many physical effects of stress and exhilaration are the same (increased heartbeat, fast breathing). That means you can mentally reframe your stress into an exhilarating experience. You just need to practice it a little bit.
9.Even if you fake your excitement and show someone that you are really happy to see them (even if you are meeting them for the first time), they will reciprocate by being happier and more excited when they meet you the next time. (A trick often used by our pet dogs).
10.In an interview, try to perceive the situation as if you know the interviewer and he's just an old friend trying to catch up. Your comfort level is infectious and the interviewer will actually like you.
11.Don't say or write "I Think" or "I Believe". It makes you sound unconfident and is implied anyway.
12.Emotional expressions can actually trigger emotions. Fake a wide smile infront of the mirror and you will actually feel happy. (Try it now, it really works).
13.If someone gives you a partial answer, or you want to extract more information from them (implicitly), don't say anything and keep maintaining eye contact. Most of the time, the narrator will continue talking or give some more information about the topic thinking that his answer is unsatisfactory.
14.If someone is angry at you and you play defensive (ie, staying calm and composed), not only will the person get angrier, but will be loaded with guilt later on. (ie, feeling ashamed of himself).
15.Chew gum or eat food at nervous situations. It tricks your brain into thinking that you are not in any danger as you are eating.
