• Stay calm when someone is angry with you.
• They may get angrier at first, but later they’ll feel ashamed of themselves.
• Interrupt a conversation by dropping something.
• If you can’t get into a conversation, drop a pen or key and bend down to pick it up. This allows you to join the discussion without being noticed.
• Walk someone back to their desk if they’re bothering you.
• If someone keeps talking to you at your desk, talk while walking them back to theirs. They’ll wonder how they ended up at their own desk.
• In a group laugh, everyone looks at their favorite person.
• When a group laughs, people usually look at the person they like most.
• Arrive early for an interview and chat with strangers.
• Chat with strangers for about 20 minutes before the interview to get familiar with the environment, boosting your confidence.
• Stop dwelling on past embarrassments.
• If you remember a past embarrassing moment, think about whether the person who saw it even remembers. Most likely, they don’t.
• Start learning with just five minutes.
• If you lack motivation, tell yourself to just try for five minutes. You’ll often end up doing more, and even five minutes is better than nothing.
• People associate you with adjectives you use for others. This is called “unconscious feature transfer.” If you describe someone as kind or sincere, others will associate these traits with you. If you talk negatively about others, that will reflect back on you.
• If you feel someone staring at you, check your watch. If someone’s looking at you, they’ll likely subconsciously look at their own wrist or watch when you check yours.
• If eye contact stresses you out, focus on the middle of the person’s eyes.
• Several studies agree that compared with men. women tend to place considerably more value on gentle, playful, extended kissing
