15 Psychological Tactics to Win People Over (Or Exploit Their Vulnerabilities?)

In our daily lives, we unknowingly face psychological tactics from society. To navigate better, it's critical to understand these tactics. A user asked about the best psychological trick? Top responses ahead.

LISTENING TO SOMEONE TO GET MORE INFORMATION

“Listening to someone without giving advice or pushing for more information typically nets me more information than being pushy for it.”

COMPLIMENT PEOPLE BEHIND THEIR BACK

“To avoid workplace drama and be well-liked is to just compliment people behind their back.”

SILENCE

“Silence. It’s disturbing to many. It can be used in many scenarios.”

GIVING CHILDREN A JOB TO DO

"I give my kids tasks when they're restless. Like asking for help at the supermarket. 'Can you pick this week's ice cream flavor? We'll all enjoy it at home.' It makes them feel important."

LEAVING TO FILLING A WATER BOTTLE WHILE SOMEONE TALK IN THE OFFICE

“I strategize when office visitors overstay. I feign refills, guide them to their desk, they sit, then I exit the chat and work."

STAY QUIET DURING ARGUMENTS AT FLIGHT

"In an argument, let the other person vent and hold eye contact for 30 seconds- it helps defuse the situation. I've found it effective, often receiving apologies."

BEING NICE TO PEOPLE

“I’m genuinely nice to people; amazing how that tricks them into being kind back.”

GIVING CHOICES TO PEOPLE

"Offering a choice between two actions or the timing of an action can influence results. Like asking my brother "when" he'll take out the trash."

PRETEND AND ASK THEM TO EXPLAIN

“When someone is saying something inappropriate or offensive, I like to pretend I don’t get it and ask them to explain.”

NODDING YES WHILE ASKING A QUESTION

“Nodding yes when asking a question when I want someone to say yes… works very well in the restaurant industry.”

TRIGGERING THE MEMORY

Boost memory by associating it with something unusual. This triggers recall when the "something" is noticed later.

LOWER YOUR VOICE

"When my kids or adults challenge me, I respond calmly. Lowering my voice until they start listening helps reset the atmosphere and refocus."

SETTING A 3 MINUTES ALARM

I use a simple trick to manage overwhelming tasks due to depression and anxiety. I set my watch alarm for 3-minute intervals dedicated to a task, with breaks in between. This is effective because it reduces the pressure of finishing a huge task at once, encourages spending more time on tasks and rewards progression instead of punishing inactivity.

MASKING

"Masking can hide struggles like mine with ADHD and depression. It's surprisingly helpful."

NEVER ASSUME PEOPLE THAT THEY DID SOMETHING WITH BAD INTENTIONS

"Don't assume negative intent. Often, it's misguided good intentions or carelessness, not malice. Realize this for a happier life. Remember, bad intent isn't the norm."
