couldhelp.
1.Assumecomfortinanyinteraction.
Ourbrainisanincrediblycomplicatedinstrument.Ourrelationshipwithit,isalove

Inmostofoursocialinteractions,wefinditdifficulttofeelcomfortableamong

Thishoweverisnthelpinguswhentryingtobesocialandmeetnewpeople,isit?
Thisiswhyassumingcomfortissopowerful.Commandingyourbraintofeelthatyou

increasesthechancesofpeopleshowinginterestinyouandconsequentlyevenliking
you.
2.Payattentiontopeoplesfeetwhenyouareapproachingthem.
15/42
11/8/2015
Interruptingpeoplewhentheyareinthemiddleofanimportantconversationisone
ofthemostannoyingthingstodo.Itshowsthatyouhavezeroknowledgeofsocial
dynamicswhichwillleadtounpleasantsocialsituations.
Whenyouapproachagroupofpeoplewhileinaconversation,payattentiontotheir
bodies.Iftheyturnonlytheirtorsosandnottheirfeet,itmeanstheyareinthemiddle
ofanimportantconversationandtheydontwantyoutointerruptthem.
Iftheyturnbothtorsoandfeet,itmeansyouarewelcome.Thisisextremely
important,becausetherighttiminginsuchsituationsmayputyouinapositionof
advantage,especiallyiftheconversationwasboringforbothsides.
3.Wheneveryouhaveanargumentwithsomeone,standnexttothem
andnotinfrontofthem.
Weveallbeeninsituationswhereoutofnowheretheconversationstartedescalating.
Unlessyoulovedrama,Iwouldsuggestyoutoavoidthesesituations.Youmighthave
thebestargumentintheworld,butusuallypeoplegetirritatedwhentheyfeeltheyare
wrong.
So,wheneveryoufeelthattheargumentyouhavewithanotherperson(especially
friendsitsnotcooltofightwithfriends)createstension,movenexttothem.You
wontappearmuchofathreat,andtheywilleventuallycalmdown.
4.Wheneveryouneedafavor,openwithIneedyourhelp.

5.Ifyouwantpeopletofeelgood,givethemvalidation.Rephrasewhat

Welovevalidation.Mostofouractionsaretheoutcomeofourneedforvalidation.
Givethemwhattheyneed.Asimpleexample,iswhenyouareinaconversationwith

rephrasewhathejustsaidinyourownwords.Thiswillmakehimthinkthatyouarea
