TikTok is full to the brim of psychology tips and tricks, but with so much information at your fingertips, it’s hard to determine what’s useful and what’s just so much noise. Luckily for us, some professional psychologists also use the site and can give us a far more accurate glimpse into what truly works.
One of these helpful and diligent psychology pros is life coach Francesca Tighinean who has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from City, University of London. She takes popular topics and adds an educated spin on things. Her insights are incredibly popular over on TikTok.
She shares some spot-on psychology tricks on her TikTok account on how to subtly and sneakily get others to like you, and you might be itching to try out after hearing them. Check out her best tricks below, upvote the ones that you personally think are the most useful, and let us know what you think of them in the comment section.
Francesca told Bored Panda all about her journey on TikTok, her passion for psychology, and what drew her on this path in life. She pointed out that a lot of effort goes into each video and encouraged everyone to do their own research as well. “The best way to see if something is true or not is to test it yourself. I encourage my followers not to take my word for it, but to test all of the techniques and advice that I give them and see if it works. Also, do your own research and check what other sources are saying. Everything that I say is backed up by research, books, courses, and personal experience,” she said. Read on for the full interview, dear Pandas!

Instead of responding immediately after someone says something to you. Wait a couple of second.
This makes them feel like you’re really thinking about what you’re going to reply. And it makes you seem like a better listener

Ask people to do a small favor for you
This is called the Benjamin Franklin effect. Say something like: Hey, can you pass me the salt please? Their subconscious mind think that they like you bc they’re doing you a favor

In a conversation, when someone is talking, nod your head in affirmation.
This will do so many things to their brain. First of all, it will give them that feeling of validation. It will make them feel like you’re truly listening to them and it is that feeling of validation that we search for unconsciously, that we got from our mom, and we’re searching in our partner, we’re searching in other people. So it becomes really addictive when you do this, and you make people feel validated.

Ask people for their advice. Making them feel like their opinion matters. According to reasearch done by Katie Liljenquist makes them form a commitment to you and makes them like you more.
Example:
“What do you think I should order?”
“I think you should get the vegan burger, it’s really good”
“Ok, I’ll get that! thank you!”
“Aw I feel like I like you already”

When you’re talking to someone, always show the palms of your hands.
This communicates to their subconscious mind that you have nothing to hide, that you are open, that they can trust you and you are their friend.
