Here are some interesting psychological facts you must read:

1. Your shoes are the first thing people subconsciously notice about you. Wear nice shoes.
2. Sometimes the people who don't talk to you are the ones that really want to.
3. Talking to your mother has the same effect as a hug and can help reduce stress levels. The sound of her voice releases oxytocin and is a great stress relief.
4. Swans only have one partner for their whole life. Once their partner dies, they pass away from a broken heart.
5. A person usually makes a lot of hand gestures when telling a true story. On the contrary, when telling a lie, a person's hands will stay noticeably still.
6. Dogs perceive humans differently from themselves, but cats do not. Cats treat humans like they would treat another cat.
7. Dogs’ nose prints are as unique as human fingerprints and can be used to identify them.
8. Psychology claims that If two past lovers can remain just friends, its either they are still in love, or never were.
9. Every day, the heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles. In a lifetime, that is equivalent to driving to the moon and back. So, when you tell someone you love them to the moon and back" you're essentially saying you will love them with all the blood your heart pumps your whole life, which I think is equally as meaningful.
10. If someone can't cry, he/she is emotionally numb.
11. Psychologically, we tend to ignore those who adore us and pay more attention to those who ignore us

17. It is believed that when you die in a dream, you wake up because your brain cannot process the idea of death and what comes after.

18. Your nose is connected to the memory side of the brain. That's why smells can trigger powerful memories.

19. Zebras can't sleep alone.

20. When a person cries and the first drop comes from the right eye, it's happiness. A drop from the left eye is pain. And, both indicate frustration.
