Okay, so, about this “dillion carter reverse psychology” thing, I had a little experiment the other day, and I just wanted to share my whole experience with you guys. It started just like any other day, nothing special, and I kinda stumbled upon this idea of reverse psychology. It sounded so interesting, like, you say the opposite of what you want and somehow, magically, you get what you actually want.

So, I thought, why not give it a shot? I mean, what’s the worst that could happen, right? The first thing I did was I picked a simple situation. My friend, let’s call him Alex, he’s always late. Like, always. So, we were supposed to meet up for coffee, and instead of telling him the actual time, I told him a time that was 30 minutes later than when I actually wanted to meet. Kind of sneaky, I know.
- I texted Alex: “Hey, let’s meet at the coffee shop at 3:30 PM.”
- Secretly, in my head, I’m thinking, “Okay, so he’ll probably be there by 3:00 PM, which is perfect.”
And guess what? It kinda worked! He showed up at 3:00 PM sharp. I was so surprised. I mean, I played it cool, like it was no big deal, but inside I was like, “Whoa, this reverse psychology thing actually works!”
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I tried it again with my sister. She always borrows my clothes without asking. So, I casually mentioned, “Hey, feel free to wear any of my clothes whenever you want.” I figured she’d get the hint and stop, right? Nope. She just took it as a green light and raided my closet even more. So, yeah, that backfired.
After these two incidents, I started to think more about how and when this whole reverse psychology thing works. It’s not some magic trick you can use all the time. It really depends on the person and the situation. Like, with Alex, maybe it worked because he’s just naturally a bit rebellious. With my sister, maybe she just really likes my clothes, I don’t know.

Then I got a bit more serious. I tried to use it at work, in a meeting. We were discussing a project, and I really wanted to go with option A, but I pretended like I was all for option B. I even argued for it a little. I thought my colleagues would see through it and pick option A, but they just agreed with me. So, we ended up with option B, which was not what I wanted at all.
My Conclusion
So, here’s what I learned from this whole experience: Reverse psychology is tricky. It’s not some foolproof way to get what you want. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and sometimes it just makes things more complicated. It’s like, you gotta know the person you’re dealing with, and you gotta understand the situation. And even then, there’s no guarantee. It’s more of an art than a science, I guess. Would I use it again? Maybe, but definitely with a lot more caution and probably not at work. I mean it is more of a fun experiment to try with friends and family. I wouldn’t make important decisions in life based on it.
