Are you playing hide and seek or you want to hide from people who are bothering you. Or do you just want to do it for fun? Whatever the reason, this article will show you some tricks to better hide yourself.
Steps
Step 1. Make sure you are not being watched or get out of sight
Step 2. Stay in your hiding place or in dark areas
(Possibly in silence).
Step 3. Don't make noise
This is the secret.
Step 4. If possible, climb high or crouch
The human mind, by instinct, tends to look right, left and behind, but not up and down. Make sure you are not at eye level.
Step 5. Try to make yourself as small as possible
This way the brain of whoever sees you will associate you less with a person's body.
Step 6. Stay still (especially at night)
The human eye reacts to movements before anything else, especially at night.
Step 7. If possible, use your surroundings to better hide or cover yourself
(the leaves of plants in a forest or clothes in a laundry).
Step 8. When hiding, it is important to remember that the human eye reacts to movement
It is much easier not to get caught by standing still. Even if they seem to be looking at you, they may not actually have seen you, so don't even move your eyes.
Step 9. If you are not yet hidden by the time they look at you, throw yourself to the nearest spot, even if it seems obvious to you
(For example, if you are dressed completely in black and are in the bedroom, you can lie down and cover yourself with pillows, curling up so that you look like a pillow too.)
Step 10. If you are small enough, hide in small spaces
The person (or people) you are hiding from will never think of coming and looking into such a confined space.
Step 11. Draw a map of the area the day before hiding and mark all the best hiding spots
Then use all the previous steps.
Step 12. Here are some ideas on possible hiding places:
- You can hide in your closet behind old sacks of clothes or even in a box.
- Hide in the cellar! Or in the garage! You can also hide in the car if you are careful not to accidentally start the engine.
- Hide behind the sofa. And if there are curtains behind the sofa, hide behind them too, so you will have double coverage. Whoever looks behind the sofa will only see curtains (behind which you will be hiding.)
- Hide under a big pile of pillows!
Advice
- If they say "Found it!" do not immediately come out of your hiding place, in fact they may not have actually seen you and are trying to make you come out.
- If possible, try to WALK and not run to your hiding place. Running could in fact make you out of breath, and the sound of your breath, as well as the movement of your chest, could make you discover.
- If possible, don't hide with other people.
- Once everyone has been discovered except you, if you can, move to another place so your good hiding place will not be discovered and you can use it again next time.
- Wear dark blue clothing instead of black. Black will make you stand out as a shadow rather than make you camouflage it.
- If you are lucky, or whoever is looking for you is young, hide in a rather obvious place where they will not want to come looking for you.
- Be creative. Think of brilliant hiding places where people would never think to go and look.
- Don't make noises or noises to be funny. You would only annoy the people you are hiding with.
- "If you can't see them then they can't see you" is a good rule of thumb, but it has some exceptions.
- If you feel the need to cough or sneeze and can't hold back, then quickly move to the side of the room furthest away from whoever is looking for you (if they are not in the room), or even better, move to another room (make sure before the person looking for you is not there); poison / sneeze or whatever and then go back to your hiding place.
- If they are about to find you, yell loudly and suddenly to scare them, that way they won't want to find you anymore and you can run to another hiding place.
Warnings
- If you are found, you risk getting into trouble depending on where you are hiding.
- If you have blond hair it will be easier to spot you in many environments; wear a hat. On the other hand, dark hair tends to look incredibly bright, especially when there is little light available (eg moonlight).
- If you are found, people will be able to see you more easily as your figure will be associated with that of a person in their brain.
