Are you charismatic in person?

I realize you and most on ILP will not believe this, but yes I do. I pretend interest in their plights, their problems, my son is having problems in school, their etc., and really listen and not talk. This is probalby why I vent so in this board. Generally, I have them eating out of my hand, something my son learned from me, hence the SoBe nod. Was even nominated for homecoming queen in high school even though I did not really speak to one jock, partied with older community college students, etc.

Just listen, do not interrupt and smile when they smile, cry when they cry. Do not be disagreeable, especially in the work situation.

Fake, perhaps, but no one succeeds by being too opinionated in real time.

Here, well, this is cyperspace.

Here, well, I call a spade a spade and to hell with the bullshit. Got that Tab!

charismatic:

In real life I am extremely, almost freakishly, charismatic. I have the ability to talk about anything with anybody at any time and have a knack for making people laugh.

Seriously, I think that this is because of my communist leanings. I think that that the lady slicing meat at the supermarket is just as valuable as the head of some company, or a guru. I’m interested in you. This also has to do with the fact that I understand the existential horror felt by many people, since no one pays them any attention. Attention is “money” if you know what I mean.

Yes, there are several checkers at the grocery store who love the fact that the customer actually says “Wow, are you okay?” They tell me regarding their monthly migranes (hormones) their wrist and back aches. I listen, and yes, I do feel sorry for them. So many just take them for granted and they are human.

I also enjoy hearing about the mundane interests of regular folks. I used to love listening to a friend talk about his lawnmower collection, and what he was going to do to them. This provides a nice break for me as I tend to focus on difficult philosophical issues or worse yet, worry about them.

Yes, Ald smiles, and makes nice as I would, regardless of how boring lawnmowers are. Now, the dude, and it is usually a dude, with the firearm collection who is interesting, like my other half with the black powder long rifles and pistols. LOL, now that is intersting, and these firearms are a pain in the ass to load.

However, there is something about me that attracts people when words aren’t even spoken, women love me, children will come up and give me a hug once in awhile (always, always black kids!!!), and I get along with animals.

Ditto, the muchkins generally love me too, and critters, well I have sucker written on my forehead and they can read this.

Here, well are you as opinionated in RT, I am not as this tends to alienate.

Asking someone to determine if they are “charismatic”, is like asking a mother if her son is an ugly dumb-ass.
What answer were you expecting, objectivity?

i like to make people laugh in a deep way.

in the way where you have a connection to them for that moment, if you can get them to laugh at your joke, or wit, observation, ect. in a way that they understand what you mean.
a real, deep laugh. usually a bit of hand motion, voice changes, and whatnot are required, acting out the joke really makes it work, tone of voice is everything.

i like making those laughs. im charismatic most of the time but not all the time, sometimes i just dont even care about talkin cause im to busy thinking (usually when im blazed).
