Reverse Pyschology

[Fargo]

I tend to use this a lot when I am gambling and I find it very effective. The idea of this is to "trick" the other person into thinking likewise to what you actually want them to.

For example: You want your brother or sister to clean the dishes because you are lazy.

To get them to do it instead of you, use reverse pyschology!

For example: If you are not going to do the dishes, I will so I can get $10 from mom.

It will work in most cases, unless the person you are using reverse pyschology knows that they are being tricked.

Haha we should start a thread of having everyone tell stories about how they used reverse psychology.

The best use for reverse psichology I can find, is helping others. I've done it before, and worked just fine.
