If you need a positive reaction, nod while you talk
If you want to manipulate people in a conversation to give you a positive response, all you have to do is to nod while you talk. Of course, it’s your responsibility to use it in an ethical way. For example, if you want someone to validate your story, you can apply this technique, but if you want someone to lend you money, you should think twice about whether it’s okay to do so.
According to experts, people who are nodding while they are trying to deliver a certain message will usually make other people agree with their message.
