All work, but I specially hate how the confidence works. That shit is how undeserving prepotent people rule the world.

Good advice

Behave in an overly familiar fashion with your interviewers!

aim for the moon, if you miss youll be among the stars"..then pressure & lack of o2 will make your as@hole explode out of your nostrils.

If people act unnaturally excited to see me I become highly suspicious of them and avoid them.

The last one makes hard to have a healthy life when the act of living is what makes you nervous.

#3 - unless you’re nervous about the date. The rollercoaster will make you very nauseous. Don’t ask...

#15 I used this trick when I worked in retail. As they got angrier, I would smile and speak calmly. No matter what. It does work.

I just listened to the Dollop podcast about Lassiter's Reef and I feel like a lot of these items is how Lassiter got people to follow him.
espilono
Cool that dogs do that trick. I had never thought of their behavior that way.
acatinbirdsclothing
It's more the effect it has on us to be greeted with such enthusiasm. Most pets are genuinely happy to see you, you're their whole world.

Carry a baseball bat at all times, and casually refer to your deep disdain for the sport of baseball. Strangers will display deference.

When i first started driving i chewed gum because i was so nervous. Prolly not the best idea but im still alive so...

Some of these tips flirt with the fine line between behavioural science and straight-up manipulation

I used to know someone who was always pulling this pop psych shit. Eventually everyone knew he was a lying thief and general shit person.

If this feet thing is true, no one ever wants to talk to me. It's actually made me painfully aware of people's feet placement during social

gatherings - never towards me. So. Fuck ya'll. :)

Boy do I hate people who do the stay quiet and wait for a better answer thing.
Valkyyria
True! If i give an answer, its what i want to say. If you are missing a specific information, just ask.
iwaslikeduuude
Right, like that’s my answer and I’m sticking with it.

*Puts mirror behind my chair, right next to the phone* Yeah, this should teach them not to be dicks when they call.
billystar101
Haha I was thinking of a way to use this with over the phone, too. If you figure it out let me know!
camn333
"Sorry Mike, corporate didn't think your idea of having all support calls be done through Zoom was feasible"
SmoeAhsolse
Maybe if you could somehow put a "slight echo" button so that they could hear themselves? That app where it would repeat everything?
billystar101
Haha the worst is when I’m tagged teamed over the phone. Two people on the same call trying to start shit

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
This only works if they're idiots though.
SugaryBonemeal
So odds are it'll work 90% of the time.
PurpleHippo664
That second to last one is how I reacted to bullies in school. They would get bored bullying me because they didn't get a reaction. When I >
PurpleHippo664
Was home, that's when I would like myself react. I give his advice to kids all the time.
Zega000
"people can't tell the difference between brilliance and confidence" anyone else think of Trump when that came up?
fknbastard
Definitely did not age well
magicrhombus
Yeah, plenty of people can't, but I don't WANT those people around me.
Zega000
You can use that for good or evil really

If you work in customer service, put a picture of a jerk behind you
YouUselessTwat
Oh, so that's why the CEO is always on the wall. Or the president in a government office.
GaurieBanner
Actually i saw this before and decided to try so i had the area behind my counter replaced with mirrors and my employees did tell me, that
GaurieBanner
Customers did start to be less hostile and angry towards them when they didnt get their way
kmikl
Why surround yourself like that, though?
daromander
Without "I think" it comes off as you are telling a fact
iliketolol
I posit...
IamAlbertPotato
I was taught to say 'I would suggest' when writing essays
RomeoEchoXray
"My understanding is that..." has worked well for me.
phukerstone
i think you might be right.
leyah89
That is exactly what I was thinking
oblimo
Without "I think" a statement can come off as imperious and judgmental. Alas, I am an expert on this topic.
fantasyfungi
Yeah I believe that one was a little much.
xKagonu
Try the old "One has come to understand that..." then you sound fancy, smart, and you reach your word count faster.
SaItamontes
"In my opinion" gets you the confident/cautious mix you want—confident enough to express your opinion, cautious enough not to call it fact.
VeyaVictaous
Exactly and your now responsible if it fucks up. Saying I think implies they still need to confirm as their due diligence
feedthelynx
'I feel' 'in my opinion' 'as I understand it' 'per (cite source), it is'
CowboyRooster
Agreed, and it's sometimes important to faithfully note others' arguments, even if you disagree, so the reader gets all the information.
FuckThemIfTheyCantTakeAJoke
I think you're wrong
toomuchpokemon
Also can be too demanding in some contexts even with friends.
BenWorthy
Some of these are definitely situational. I think.
MisterBulldops
Will you be my bride? No? Ok, just anal then.
EngorgedPhallus
See, now I'm not convinced because you seem unsure of yourself.
LaBix
My wife has a weird adrenaline response where it makes her feel sick. If I followed that advice she'd associate me with feeling sick. 1/
LaBix
Rather than trying to trick some lizard brain response to someone liking you, why not just get to know a person? Shit be crazy 2/2
EZ0422
Because then I’d be single forever.
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Lol! It’s also inaccurate, it’s the physiological response of fear being similar to that of attraction. Hot, nervous, shallow breathing etc!
TheEmeraldProphylactic
I have a similar/opposite issue where prolonged hot weather can make me feel super anxious due to this same symptoms! Lizard brain is funny

I learned the gum thing from a book on Michael Jordan. It works but is trash for public speaking.

Deafguy8
I use gum when I’m doing BJJ, so I don’t forget to breathe and burn out my muscles
LaBix
Okay, I thought the extra J was a typo, and then worried you was going way too hard on your dick game.
h3art5am3ss
Perfectly acceptable to sip on some water, and it helps if you need a pause.
GoodEarthBetweenMyToes
Switch to Doritos, then, or spaghetti.
MyOtherUsernameIsClever
How much gum do you chew at once? A small piece, like Trident or Orbit, is easy enough to talk around... I always have gum in my mouth...
DrPepperandChocolate
Chewing gum can also help mitigate motion sickness.

Dave Grohl chews gum while on stage
xdollsnskullsx
I noticed that when I saw them play. My Friend who went with me didn’t notice and thought it was weird that I did. Hah
kmikl
Works great for studying and taking exams. I *ALWAYS* have a pack of 5 gum with me when I'm studying and taking a test.
SugaryBonemeal
How the hell do you focus on an exam when every chew makes you appear in a cgi lab suspended over a thousand hair dryers??
kmikl
... how do you not concentrate when every chew makes a rorschach blot look like a fucking intense study/exam taking dragon?
portraitsforfriends
So that’s what it’s like to chew 5 gum?
kmikl
It... it really is now that I think of it. I used to go with hubba bubba grape, but I hit 30 and it lost it's appeal. :(
SuprisedPikachuFace
Wait are you telling me there are exams after you turn 30?!?
kmikl
When you go back to college or have professional upgrading, yes. Sorry, the boomers took that perk away too. :(
DarkSlayer54
I'd be a juicy fruit guy if they lasted more than 5 seconds
DonteHaversham
You're really just gonna tee that one up for people?
DarkSlayer54
Tee up what? Oh, do people not spit it out immediately? It loses its flavor pretty quick, so I don't like chewing it for too long
kmikl
You gonna wait on someone else to take a perfect setup?
DonteHaversham
Im a gentleman, clearly. Officers wont work. Or swing at low hanging fruit
