I didn't know that these things were so manipulative, and I always do these things subconsciously except nodding when I'm talking or asking for something

[bandagewastingmachine]

I just nod when I'm listening. When I give a slow nod kinda like that super slow clapping you hear sometimes, tbh, it's more of a "yeah, right- I don't believe you but I'll listen anyways bc I don't want to be rude" nod than an agreeing nod- that and when I agree I tend to nod faster. Either way nodding is basically just my way of showing that even if I don't agree or believe you, I'm listening. You never know though, you might learn something when you listen to people instead of just not paying attention- that's what I've learned so I always try to listen regardless-

I'm absolutely certain the narrator's got a HUGE smile on her face the entire time she's recording!!!

[ilikemusic]

I smile, mirror and use names a lot, but only when I'm trying to show someone I'm interested in them. Like flirting or otherwise. Use these tricks for good, not evil.

[odditycat]

WHY did I misread the title as "WATCH OUT FOR TWO TRUCKS"

[kimlawley]

Your voice and art/animation is a physiological trick for me to continue watching-

[argentcochon]

This channel is everything. Not only do I have better friendships and relationships in general, but I was also able to bring some things up to my therapist and we have worked through a couple problems. My family life is so much better too because I have been bringing up things that I find toxic and getting my parents to understand my side better. The animation is so calming and simple! I need more videos by this person!

[shawnfunny]

Yk something about this channel? Its helped me through a lot. I mean a lot. And it showed me more about true friends and fake ones. It showed me how to cope with letting go of someone. It helped me grow mentally and spiritually. It helped me be better. Lots of love to psych2go 😊
