Ruining your life is killing your gains. Killing your gains is ruining your life.

Can we discuss how exhausting it is trying to be charismatic as an introvert in a space full of extroverts. It feels like a chore to come off as likable all the time, and if you’re naturally a “boring” person, or someone who hasn’t experienced a lot of the things the people your age have, it’s even harder.

@Michael-rm1bx

It is hard but it is not impossible. An extrovert will get the group’s attention and hold it naturally as an introvert/being a more quiet person you may get overheard an that’s okay. Find out your social strength for example very genuine, authentic and passionate about topics you like and things you want to know about people in one on one conversations and people will connect with you on a different way but still will like you even though you may not be always the elephant in the room. It’s cost’s some work but the more you put your self out there and reflect on certain situations you will get the idea and eventually will get better and comfortable with being introverted. By the way you wrote this comment I guess you’re a deep thinker so try to put this out, stop thinking that you’re boring and you will notice how much people actually appreciate talking to an introvert. It takes time but it is very much achievable. I hope this helps these are my observations over the years being an introvert myself.

It will only be a chore if you're in a conversation you don't care to engage. Worrying about being likeable is a problem. If you have something to say, or bring up, you'll have space to speak. You don't have to match an extroverts outward energy. Your subtle energy can be interesting too, your introspection can help you find interesting things to say. Many extroverts confer with introverts due to this quality. They often have insight as being people that are better observers since their concentration is more about gauging the room rather than themselves.

As an extrovert introvert, I think it’s easier to put the focus on the person I’m talking to. I’m not a dancing monkey, but I’m naturally curious about people and people love to talk about themselves. So ask open questions and follow up what they are talking about. People love the attention

It is, but at the same time human beings are very adaptable. I’m autistic, I used to have horrible posture before I started yoga, and I was painfully shy from a childhood of bullying. I thought my physically glow-up would be enough but it backfired hugely, I could no longer get away with being shy, people would just assume I thought I was better than them. People don’t WAN’T to like a shy pretty girl. My new bf introduced me to two other couples and recently one of the other women admitted to me that she wanted to hate me because I’m skinny and she thinks I’m pretty but I was so charming and sweet that she can’t help but love me. I NEED charisma to survive and I still struggle with things like eye-contact due to my autism but I figured if this is a skill I need to move through the world successfully… I may as well try to sit with the fear and have some fun with it where I can. I focus on being excited to learn new things about socializing. People love it when you use their name, people love it when you are an active listener, if you ignore a person’s jealousy and pretend you don’t notice it and are just interested in getting to know them it will dissipate! I guess it’s turned into an autistic special interest of mine but it’s a skill worth learning and getting comfortable with. Just be gentle with yourself and push yourself to do the scary things in bite-sized pieces. I also let my loved ones know that sometimes I need my long walks down by the river with just my dog to recharge and they understand!

Here are my favorite 'tricks' to show warmth: 1. Have a neutral face (not smiling, not angry) and when you see that person, wait a split second to look them in the eye and then give the warmest smile you have, as if someone just offered you ice cream. This little pause would make them feel that the smile was for them because in that split second, you noticed them, and that made you smile. The same thing works in phone calls - even if you see who is calling, answer with a neutral semi-dry 'hello' and then when you hear 'Hi, it's Suzie,' have genuine joy and smile, 'Oh! Suzie! Hi! So good to hear you!' Again, they would feel that warmth as directed to them and more genuine. 2. MICRO-touching. Really, really small because you don't want to invade someone's boundaries. But I like to do a super gentle tap on the shoulder to emphasize a point "Yeah, that story was great BUT (gentle touch, more like a tap, lasts maybe half a second) did you know the author blah blah..." When you do this intentionally, it comes off as genuine and bonding than creepy. Learn to read their body language and don't do it too often. 3. Specific compliments. What's better - "You look so beautiful!" or "I love that Rick and Morty T-shirt, you got some style!" One is generic and meh, the other is more specific and makes the other person feel like you are paying attention to the small details. I love to compliment people on things I notice about them and especially their actions, the things they have control over, that resonated with me. It's more original and makes the other person feel seen. 4. Finally - treat people as treasure islands. They are people with life stories filled with gems. Maybe someone has a hilarious story that I wouldn't know if I didn't start asking about who they are. This is the hardest for me because, like Joey in the video says, most people are not charismatic, and they don't know how to tell a story or talk engagingly. But try to be interested anyway. I usually start really small like "What brought you to work here? Oh really! What is your favorite thing so far?" From this question alone I found out there is a closet our work building full of merch that we could take for free. You never know!

When I reached the part of the video regarding compliments, I had to pause to share an epiphany I had a few years ago. Compliments can be really easy actually. How often do we see something, that we find remarkable, about a person but we keep that internalized? I took the approach of verbalizing those moments as often as I can remember to. It makes giving compliments really easy. People pick up on the honest enthusiasm and I prefer discussing something I was genuinely interested about. Just don’t be a weirdo. 😄

@jennifermarie3158

Very true. Whenever I'm out and about and in a bad or depressed mood, I challenge myself to find someone to compliment. It lifts their mood, it lifts your mood and self-confidnece, and it shifts your perspective so that you're looking for the positives about people rather than the negatives

Or is having no life ruining your charisma?

The most charismatic person I’ve ever met was recently - a retired member of the board for a government agency. He stood confidently, spoke clearly, and looked everyone in the eyes when they spoke and smiled a lot. We asked him a lot of advice in the one day we spent with him and he said that his most important lesson is to “care about the people” and you can tell he truly meant it. This dude was making 250k+ a year and people truly liked him. Now we have a terrible and political board rep and our agency’s productivity has been going downhill since everyone knows he doesn’t really care about the employees. If you care about people, listen, look them in the eyes, smile, and try to put yourselves in their shoes for even just a minute - people will like you! It’s really that simple (no really!)

I find the key to being more charismatic is to quiet your thoughts, especially negative ones in public. Thoughts are real. They produce an energy others can feel, not just through your body language and actions, but human beings are deeply connected on a higher level and can sense when your energy is out of sorts. You can't think your way into making people like you. Get some sleep. Handle your life and tell your mind to be quiet.

I think another part of having charisma is being genuine. It’s one thing to come off as charismatic but another to ACTUALLY be it. I find it’s really rare nowadays for people to wholeheartedly give a shit about how you’re feeling, what you have going on etc. You can tell almost immediately when someone is being fake and talking to you out of boosting their own ego. The world needs more people that actually care and want the best for one another.

Charisma is like a superpower in life! It's not about changing who you are, but enhancing your connection with others. This video is a great reminder that charisma can be cultivated.

Charisma is essentially the ability to make other people feel at ease. In order to do this you must first have the desire to make people feel at ease without expecting any benefit in return for yourself. If you have the ability to do this, you will always win in the interaction.

You can't have charisma if you don't like other people, and you can't genuinely like other people if you don't like yourself. Those who are at home in themselves (body, mind, spirit) have a clarity and stillness that makes them strongly likeable. Mental turbidity and emotional stress make us feel trapped in our own bodies and separates us from reality. Taking a minute or two to try and feel content -- a feeling of not wanting or lacking anything in the present moment -- can make a huge difference in our behavior moving forward.

Here's the TRUTH: One of the best ways to have and develop charisma is to be doing things in your life that you'd be excited if the people you're speaking to found out about. If you're concerned that people might find out who the loser is underneath the facade of social skills, then true charisma will not shine through. The way out is to have a grind we are on each and every day so that we can create the kinds of things in life we both want to share externally and are intrinsically passionate about internally.

So to summarize, a charismatic person is one who is listening and responding (Present), pinpoints the things that matter most (Warmth), and is ready to take action on those things (Power). So to become charismatic, one should engage with people more (Present), compliment them (Present/ Warmth), identify what matters most to them and what problems they have (Present/ Warmth), and give help even if it is just a word of advice or a shoulder to cry on (Present/ Caring/ Power).

It's a song that speaks about human empathy, and how little it takes sometimes to make someone feel better and genuinely cared for. I hope more people will realize that just asking someone "How's your day going?" can make a big impact on that person's wellbeing. Honest compliments are also essential. By the way-thanks for your videos, Joey! Your "Inaction is a slow death" masterpiece is one of my favourite videos on this platform. Hope you're doing great, man.

As a young nerd, I came to know charisma as one of the three non-physical D&D attributes, alongside intelligence and wisdom. I always avoided charisma-based characters because irl I'm not conventionally bold and extroverted like a charming bard or an inspiring paladin. Then one day another player said to me, "of course you're charismatic. When you say something, everyone listens". I hadn't really thought about it that way until then.

@@jennifermarie3158 in game terms, whether you’re able to use your social skills to change outcomes is only one aspect of charisma, and depends on what the DM will allow. It also determines the power of your spells for a lot of classes, so people who want to play warlock or paladin are still going to need it. In the abstract, charisma represents both a kind of charm/magnetism, but also a certain metaphysical force of will.

I absolutely love how real you are. When you say something or promote something then instantly realize you contradict yourself and so on, that’s my whole life

You're one of the KZreadrs who post videos that I have to rewatch and rewatch and learn from and I love it. They're always super beneficial. August 17th is my 27th birthday so I think I'm gonna have to join that Livestream and read that book.

Its just charisma/confidence and I’m totally agree. Its like there is so many people on instagram and youtube who’s doing really awkward content or stuff that genuinely isn’t important but for the right audience they are popular and they are making shit ton of money from it, while the “normal” person who laugh at them, doesn’t have the charisma or confidence to do something for themselves. At the end of the day you just need to be charismatic for the right audience and ignore what people from the other “audience” think about you.

Great video, always appreciate your perspective, Joey. I think another framing that I have found deeply useful thanks to its simplicity, is that love is attention. Giving someone your time is an act of love. By love I am not referring any specific type like romantic/brotherhood/whatever, but simply that truly paying attention, and being open to current experience is an act of love - and love is a verb, it is something to be done, not a static state. Pay attention, it is the basis of all love.

Big + for the presence. I noticed when i really forget about everything else and try to be really "present" with the person infront of me, it suddenly becomes much much easier for me to act in a way that makes the other person feel comfortable with me and for some reason it also helps me with any kind of anxiety i might have.

Totally agree with you and Warren Buffett, public speaking is a key life skill. Best classes I've ever taken. Being an engineer I never thought I'd need this, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Getting your points across are key, and negotiation is a major life skill to get what you want even if you don't think about it. "You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate."

The best advice about charisma I’ve every heard was live a life that others want to be a part of . If you are doing thing that make you happy it shows and the charisma comes out.

Its quite refreshing to see your videos, always well put, narrated and often relatable. So, thank you for them.

A couple of days ago when I was into a pool, I asked some guy that I had seen there and after talking a little bit, I discovered that he went to my high school. He had graduated a year ahead of me. I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't asked how he was doing. Some of the most charismatic people that I know present themselves as warm, kind and confident and the latter is something I struggle with a lot but it's thanks to them that I have been improving on.

Oh hell yeah a “fake compliment” does wonders. I’m a good looking gay dude but Im like a regular dude. Older and old lady’s come into my work and I smack them with a “you’re hair looks pretty today” or “that’s a cute dress” you can tell it just makes them feel so good. I like that.

I never believe those people 😂

I'm autistic so even though I do genuinely care about others and genuinely want to treat them well and be charismatic, it's been a lifelong struggle for me to be able to learn how to do that and not come across as bossy, or rude or mean. It's still something I'm working on and probably always will be, but now that I'm in my late 20s I genuinely think I've got the process down pat of how to make my genuine intentions known. I've built it up through my years in the workforce and I've come away from each job more confident and more able to tackle any sort of person and create a positive interaction with them. It's done wonders for my confidence and for my career and has led me to getting better and better jobs and leaving each job with lifelong friends that I'm so grateful for. I was so happy when you mentioned Aragorn! He's honestly the definition of a good leader in that he cares, he's present and he commands attention. Someone else I think who has those abilities is Faramir. He's such a kind, genuine person and you like him from the first scene. He doesn't let his childhood trauma get in the way of how he interacts with people and he cares for those around him. Inspirational!

I think that for me at least, it's important to realize that even if we aren't charismatic, it is actually something we can develop over time. I always thought of it as kind of like a trait, either you have it or you don't. This video also made it clear to me that there are different kinds of charisma. I recently met someone who I would consider to be pretty charismatic, but my charisma doesn't need to be the exact same as his. I don't need to change or force it or act a way different than I want to. I'll let my charisma take whatever form it will.

Absolutely loving these frequent uploads!!!!

The most charismatic person I ever met was this random guy I helped while working at a thester concession stand. He was just a dude, my age, and he had a cane which I thought was odd He said: "hey man, how's it going?" I said: "its alright." Him :"is there anything I can do to change that?" Then I said something along the lines of "make everyone leave" or something like that. Thats all I remember, but what stuck with me was the charisma of this seemingly normal dude with a cane. I hope he is doing well and the cane isnt for some illness

I love how direct and honest you were in this video, felt like a little different than most of the videos that do very well on your channel.. And just because of that, I also think this video was actually lot more effective, at least to me, because I do understand where you're coming from (those little things were so funny too like the end as well) and I'm not gonna lie I can totally vouch for whatever you said because ever since I got in college and started practicing being more social, all it takes is actually just going out there, stopping being on our own, and just paying a little more respect to the real life that we are given with.. The way people have started to slowly realize how important it is to "de-screen" and live a little in the reality too, I'm probably foreseeing a trend that might be arriving soon where we all go a little anti-technology, or just this practice of "de-screening" is gonna get more popular ig..

For example, I always had the belief that I was a terrible runner, and that there was no way that I would ever implement it as a habit in my life. After reframing my whole mind and lifestyle, I gave it a good shot. I ended up running 13 kilometres, then a half marathon (21km) 2 days later, only about 2 weeks after I decided to start running. This is just one of many huge leaps that I have made since then.

My first thought of the most charismatic character in media instantly was Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke. And I didn't even realize why I like him so much until you explained why. He constantly proves time and time again throughout the film that he is capable with his physical strength & skill, he is confident and sure of himself- displaying this unwavering resolve to maintain balance in the forest -he carries himself well, and despite all of this power he strives to genuinely listen to and understand both sides of the conflict in the people of Iron Town AND the spirits. His warmth is unmistakable. Ashitaka has always been my favorite character maybe because he stands as this tantamount example of what it means to be a good person. Without knowing it, I looked up to him as a role model. Maybe we all should.

I agree. After covid I had a hard time talking to a starbucks cashier. I would be anxious and fearful to asking for a flat white. I realised covid was effectively the reason (mainly it was because I was working on my business) but yeah my social skills took a big hit. Now I’m starting to come out of my shell a little bit as I’ve realised social skills are the holy grail to exercising things to come fruition in life (relationships, networking, friendships, business, etc). We’re social animals and if you are introvert (like me) you can he an extrovert for 30 minutes. You can do it.

Your videos are actually so helpful Joey

probably my fav video you've ever made so far, love your sense of humor!

I agree. As an introvert myself I remember when I was in high school I believed this Hollywood fantasy that introverts will be more successful later in life than the extroverts, but as an adult I realized that couldn't be farther from the truth. From high school I learned that people usually remain the same as they were in high school (of course there are exceptions but this is the general rule). Most of my ex classmates are as successful now 10 years later as they were as teens; those who had high grades and were extroverts with charisma are the most successful and many of them have successful businesses, those who were introverts with high grades got good degrees and specializations and are usually working 9-5 jobs either in the tech industry, medical industry or as engineers and making a decent pay but nothing crazy. The bullies remained bullies and work as construction workers, factory workers, policemen, etc, others joined gangs or do some kind of job where they can yell at people without any consequence. The guys like me who were introverts, suffered from mental disturbances and had not particularly good grades are usually working a normal job, only 50% got degrees and the others are working lame jobs (in my case I'm trying to improve my skills in all aspects so I can change that). The other introverts with average grades that got degrees usually have the lowest paid jobs in their fields because they lack charisma and connections; they remained average. Also it's important to mention that those whose family had more money had a much higher rate of success compared to those whose families were poor, confirming that parents with money make your life much easier (even though most of them deny this reality and claim "they worked hard for what they have"). Now, keep in mind I'm from probably the worst country in South America, where poverty plays a major role. I don't know if it's the same in first world countries, but I read a study that concluded extroverts in the US have the highest paid jobs, so that might be a universal truth. Moral of the story: Charisma, matters! Mental health matters! And you usually remain the same as you were in high school unless you do something radically different to change. This is the truth, like it or not, we can't escape society.

And people were more open to come and talk to me because they weren't afraid of disturbing me. It was... horrible actually.

You could have the most brilliant mind but if nobody likes you nobody will listen to you. 1) Presence: Be fully genuinely present, Actually listen. Be aware. Stop living in a passive state, do things with intentionality. Have a mindset of providing value and gaining value. 2) Power: Build self-esteem, be aware of your posture and the way you present yourself physically and emotionally. Be useful and capable physically and mentally, take up space, and be proud of yourself. Like your life, be content. Carry yourself with intention. 3) Warmth: Actually care, be empathetic. Spend less time in your own head, and have an awareness of others' struggles. Actively listen to problems, and be encouraging. Compliment. Tying it all together: Be present with intention, cultivate power with intention, and have warmth with intention.
