If one has a super power to read anyone's mind. Do you think it would be a dangerous skill?
Could you talk anout stubborn people and how to stop being one?
it depends if the power is used for justice or for evil
It depends on the intent, for most situations it wouldn't be much of a dangerous super power because you'll be reading what people are thinking about the world around them, but if it's someone that targets people for info to use against them it can become dangerous... However because of quantum connectivity if someone knows another well enough the can signal them from a distance and link mind flow if they know them very well genuinely... So we all have that power locked behind relational potency
You definitely don't want to reading my mind it's a very dark place and honestly reading someone's sounds pretty scary
Based on who has it
Observe their body language. 90% of a person’s mental state is communicated through their body language, rather than their words.
Exactly what I see in day to day interactions with co-workers, along with the fake laugh I'm glad to see another channel that I watch watches this as well.
Indeed most of my family are narcissist... so I had to get away from that crazy bunch
GOOD EVENING MY FRIEND, YOU NEVER BEEN SO RIGHT 👍, SLEEP WELL MY FRIEND 💯🙏💙💪🙊🙈🙉
You fool! I’m not neurotypical, you’ll never read me… ok, maybe not never. You’ll find it harder.
Oh that's easy!
timestamps!! 0:38 micro expressions 1:46 power of posture 2:46 analyze the smile 3:59 tone of voice 4:54 the eyes never lie
Please watch the entire video! It helps get our work seen on youtube. tyyy! We worked really hard on all of our research and animation (1+ month to create one video for everyone to watch for free).
@@Psych2goYou could delete the time stamp comments…
@@Psych2gowe will still watch it, the timestamps help us prepare
@@Psych2goI have ADHD so I NEED the timestamps, just as much as I need subtitles. It helps me prepare to watch the video. Without the timestamps, I'll be switching to another video 20 seconds (at best) after pressing play.
They eyes are the hardest thing to fake Sometimes it feels impossible to do Only pros can do that reliability
It hits hard when your the person being read 😭
wanted say this but u beat me to it.
What if I am reading you because I want to be friend with you and want to know if you feel the same
Fr fr for me though I’m super obvious as well 😭😭😂
It's a good idea to remember, interpreting body language is nuanced, and cultural differences can play a role in how signals are perceived. Keep practicing, and you'll refine your understanding over time.
Word choice is also something to consider. Talking is natural and there's typically no toxic motive, but someone who doesn't choose their words carefully (or who looks into things too much to the point of paranoia) can tell you all you need to know.
I need to vent... I'm so sad men, my "friend" blocked me like our friendship was nothing. And I'm crying like crazy too. When people are sad I'm always there for them, but when it's my turn to be sad there's no one aaaa :(
I'm sorry homie, hope it gets better
The same happened to me except with a girl I was sorta dating. She blocked me when I needed someone there for me most. People will be fake in this life. It’s hard, but it’s something we have to accept. Focus on urself man
I know it sounds cliche but definitely you will find some amazing people in your life with time have hope. till then you have yourself enjoy doing what you do .
Been there, helped me realize who is truly a real friend. You’ll bounce back, it’s not too late
Why did they block you
I have one, if someone is lying and you ask them about something they took or did or anything else and they are covering their neck or chest, they are most likely lying. You can also guess it by looking at a person's eyes.
That's not accurate. You can't tell anything about someone without setting up a baseline first.
Right intuition counts
also by simply asking them about more details often people who lie know a little to much about some things in the story or some times they mix things and often tell you something that dosent match the rest... this is because they are the one creating the story and al the details that are in the story... so some times they are trying to hard to make details up so they seem more legit when it acually ends up fucking therier cover
? when i lie i do not cover my chest or neck??
I would love it if you guys put out an entire video on how to tell when someone is lying to and manipulating people around them. If you already have it I will probably find it eventually
I’m autistic with CPTSD and childhood trauma. If I’m making eye contact with you, I won’t be able to hear a damn word you’re saying. But if I look away, suddenly I can hear your words and auditory processing can kick in. Just my personal, likely weird AF experience with eye contact 😅❤
Same. Sigh it’s a process I’m struggling with
If a person gives eye contact and then smiles to another person with out saying hello or perhaps a compliment they do not like you and possibly jealous
Same blud, when i speak to people i never look at them or sometimes not even face them for that matter (chances are, im looking at the floor). Its hard to know if i actually pay attention (i do most of the time anyways) but one way to know is if im looking at you by my peripheral vision
Idk why or how, but i have this ability to know peoples triggers and pet peeves off three seconds of interacting and i use this very frequently because i think its funny
I think you’re a sociopath little man
how tho
you're the type of person I found extremely annoying especially in high school
@@nguyenthithuly4115 it's not really how, but more of a gut feeling. Ive met so many people I just kinda find patterns in people so I just kinda guess
@@carolea7158 that's the point
i would also add that focusing on the words they use, their breathing choices and their physical movement like the sound of their footsteps, can really tell you about a person.
how so?
First one to show my apparition for this channel❤
Without a baseline, most body language analysis goes out the window.
You never fail to make me bust with amazement ❤
This channel keeps me coming and coming back
With every video, I grow a little more ❤
Bruh
y'all are sus
Timestamps 1). Micro expressions 0:31 2). Power of posture 1:40 3). Analyze the smile 2:39 4). Tone of voice 3:53 5). The eyes never lie 4:47 Hope this helps you out. Hope you have a nice day. Sorry this is so late. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Some time ago, i used to think that half of this is basic, and that everyone knows this. Ah well, still an awesome vid, love your work psy team
My personal rules for social interaction: 1. I am constantly misinterpreting every signal every person is sending me ever. 2. What someone doesn't do is much more telling than what they do. 3. Everyone knows exactly what I'm thinking at all times... 4. UNLESS I want them to, in which case I'm sending all the wrong signals.
Amazing, this video helped me understand things more!
Did any of the points resonate with you?
Thanks for useful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
Glad you liked it! Hope you learned something new today!
Thanks this was helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
That was informative. Thanks!
People who can read a person inner energy
Good video it is tough to read micro expression sometimes I'm the one that needs this manual guide
Psych2go always makes me feel positive
It's honestly really hard to fake smile so other people think you're fine.
Britney spears did it for 10 years before people caught on....her smile was perfect ...until it wasn't 😢
It becomes easy after sometime and with practice. I get you, there are times when I'm really sad even with practice I can't really fake it But I've gotten so much better
Could you please link the video about body language inadvertently turning off people? I’m not sure if I want the info to get people closer or farther but either way it will be valuable, I’m sure 😅❤
Your vids are great thanks psych2go for your amazing content im forward in seeing this video 😊😊😊😉👌👍
First and thanks for the video
Not even close 😂
I took the notes!
I'm on the Autism spectrum and I have a lot of problems with this sort of thing. Sometimes I sound rude or ""snotty" because of a tone of voice I had no idea or control over. I have no clue about micro expressions. My posture is stuck in slouch mode. Not to mention eye contact is notoriously hard for autistics.
Ur not Austistic lol grow up
@@laloomartinez9997That's pretty offensive to say, isn't it? If they say they're on the autistic spectrum, trust them. You can't "just grow up" mate. An illness is an illness and everybody can succeed in a different way.
Don't worry, I'm here for you, Silver! Remember you're not less than anyone and as long as you believe on yourself then you can succeed in every way. There's no limitations and remember if you have an illness, it's not your fault. Just because another person THINKS you're misbehaving, that doesn't mean you are/were. Value your own opinions above other peoples' and have a positive outlook on yourself. People will be unhappy no matter what. Life is short, so be in the present, work hard and please yourself.
@@laloomartinez9997idiot
@@PancakeRightsnot an illness but ok I get what u meant, maybe other autistic people wouldn’t tho and they go insane at you. Jus sayin
Psych2go never fails to surprise me
i was expecting that calming voice lady😭
I used to be very nieve until my husband and best friend were sleeping together😢 after this devastation i taught myself how to read people and im spot on now just by looking at their eyes
I'm the quiet observer type. So I already know how to read someone like a book. One thing that you missed, is you should also pay attention to someone's body language habits. Everyone is different. I fidget a lot when I'm focused. So people who don't know me and notice this will think that I'm nervous. But it's not true. So just be careful.
love your voice
1. Microexpression I probably am smiling all the time (copium) so good luck reading me 2. Posture I always fidget, not just my hands and when i walk i always take glances at the floor with my hand either on my elbow or on my waist level with the hand elevated (effeminate manner) 3. Smile I usually wear mask so its harder to read me using this 4. Tone of Voice My tone is so soft that people wouldnt hear what i said first try, the tone voices i use are happy and nervous, i dont remember whens the last time i used an angry tone 5. Eyes My eyes goes absolutely everywhere and this is probably the easiest way you can read me
Remember that show, Lie to Me? That was brilliant on these topics.
The fact that I can fake each one of them by thinking about a situation when I genuinely acted as I want to in the moment.
idk why but i can sorta sense a person emotions just by being close to them and now this video helped me understand people better. thank you!
I'm not sure but I'm guessing you're an empath
By what you mentioned here
@@AlsPIERCE120 im not sure either but maybe ill take an empath test thanks!
Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching this video! Did you learn anything new today?
@@Psych2go watch who I hang around
Ima be a genie then 💯💯
i feel like important aspects were missed in this video, like the disclaimer that these arent always true. for the posture one i am a very non angry person and i cross my arms a lot. it feels secure and protective of myself. for me it is very hard to smile in general. im depressed so i often squint my eyes to try to mimic a genuine smile out of instinct so people dont think i am any less grateful to be with them. its just very hard for me to feel emotion because i am so detached from them that it has become a habit to imitate them to still come off the way i feel if that makes any sense?
what does it mean if someone rubs their nose when seeing you? or touch their lips?
I sent this to my speech teacher at school
Wow
Yesterday I was walking really slotchy and I looked down a lot. That's because I gelt really unwell.
NEW VOICE ACTER
When it comes to nonverbal behaviour, see what someone is doing with their legs/feet. The person generally has less awareness of these body parts, which can make them the most telling!
Based.
Interesting ❤️😊
Glad you think so!
I'd argue with the tone point. I'm on the autism spectrum and am often monotone. I'm constantly misunderstood as a result because people misinterpret my tone. I try to work on that but my brain doesn't want to cooperate.
I'd love to have a psy of my own! :D
How did I not know about this feature 6:11 ? Anybody else notice the like button Light up when he said 'like?'
Unblinking eye contact is about domination, "staring someone down".
Wowe
Wow I'm surprised that I almost using all of this to read someone, I thought I'm judging to much or overthinking the small move there doing
Where’s the lady narrator Amanda 😔😔
We travelled far, far away from earth into a cosmic adventure as we time-travel to outer space, indulging in a feast of sparkly stars-like, loads and loads of them! 🍽 And guess what? Our voices decided to take a wild trip too, going from high to medium and finally settling into the current low and extremely low pitch you're hearing in this video. Yeah, who knew celestial snacking could turn us into space baritones?
Never been this early before! ❤
You help me I have a crush on a fictional characters and the next day I suddenly I dont don't butterflies when I see their edits I am confusion how is this?
Yep, the eyes never lie. A persons eyes are the gateway to their real intentions if you can read them right
The intro was a throwback
I know! Unfortunately, we had to remove it just now. It affected the watch time and less people gets to see our video 😕 We wished we can keep it though
Hey, ive been watching a few of your oldish videos, and im just wondering if its possible if you could do a video on autism? Its okay if you cant.
I wonder if other people can tell when i'm being genuine in my smile or not? 🤔
Oooo you can tell me is your smile genuine or fake?
Where’s our favorite narrator Amanda Silvera?

hello!!
❤❤
Hi!,
TONE! My god my family has no control of tone and it pains me. I will still never trust someone if they have a shit tone.
Some of these could also be related to ADHD, autism, or other things
I do this subconsciously.
Which points do you used often? :O
@@Psych2go I don't use anything, I don't know how but I can just read a person's entire self in a few moments of looking at them. But I mean really looking at them, I see their soul and it's intentions all at once. Which makes it kinda blur into a static mess, but I get the gist of ”Are you a waste of my time or not”. If they are important to my story I can just walk up to random people and boom! Friends of 7 years. Edit: Sorry if you were looking for another point to add, I can't really explain what I do. I just hyper analyze their face and eyes for a brief moment before understanding them.
Same
But where’s Amanda’s voice 😔☹️

Hi
Hello
The best way to truly read someone is to get a pen and write a buch of words on them! ha ha ( I hope this joke was kinda funny)
Lucky you can hide most if not all of these if you practice Im proud that you can display something else and your thoughts are something else
My mom didn't believe people could talk nonverbally It's kinda amusing that I can see these signs even from Vtubers
I read somewhere that crinkling the nose even a little is a sign of disdain, and I suppose it falls under what this video calls "micro-expressions"
Sorry if I don't look at your eye when talking, I'm just not comfortable looking at people faces
First like!
it is enough that the person is in pain and nothing of this theory holds anymore
Remember to consider their baseline reactions though. If you're often misunderstood it might be because people expect these traits when they just might be autistic fidgets. Learning about how people perceive others is wild... People seem to constantly seek validation/attention and silently take it personally when you're not even aware, it's exhausting. It does help filter prior out though 😅

HEY GOOD EVENING MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY I JUST WANTED TO STOP BY TO ✔️ ON EVERYONE. SLEEP WELL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, I CAN RELATE 💯 PERCENT TO THIS TOPIC, AND I'M STARTING TO THINK MY PARENT AND I ARE STARTING TO GET A LONG IT SAME S 💤 WELL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY,💯🙏💙💪🙊🙈🙉p
I just use eye contact for death stares 💀
People with wrinkles around their eyes People who are harder hearing People who has difficulty understanding and needs to keep looking at the persons face to understand and hear better accidentally makes faces movement Some languages or dialects sounds angry to some people when spoken but it is just the way people speak Eyes and ears coordination, some people had to slightly move their head to better hear person Cultures with costumes of not express their feeling though movements
When people lie, they always try to make more time
Please have Amanda narrate 😟😟
💃

Yeah you don’t need this video if you’re hyper vigilant and I’m sorry you don’t need this video cuz you’re hypervigilant ❤
