Why Charisma Isn't What You Think It Is

In today's video we explore how anyone can become charismatic and what it takes to get there. Dr. K starts off by defining what charisma is by going into a a paper that did the research that breaks down what all the components that make up charisma are, and why it isn't all about being attractive.

    1- Develop a vision. This is not a goal, but an ideal about how you want your life to be. You also have to be able to implement that vision 2- Structure. It's about when, where and how you're gonna implement your vision 3- Strategic thinking. How to circumvent the setbacks in the path to moving towards our vision 4- Being authentic. This builds trustworthiness towards others. Try to be your authentic best self. A bit of negativity is alright, but not traumatic diarrhea in the speech 5- Temper what to say with compassion. Being authentic is not about not hiding negative things, but about not creating fake things about oneself 6- Clarify your communication. Practicing writing is a good idea for this The three main points to good charisma are vision, authenticity and communication

    Not necessarily. I massively improved my attractiveness, and it helps only until you start talking. Women are more forgiving when you're awkward or bad at talking to people, but it has a massive limit. I think it works like this ish: attractive people need at least 70%-80, the speech skills of average people, and unattractive people need 110-120% speech skills. Speaking is still the most important thing. Having said that, looks are still way easier to improve, so they do make a good area of focus.

Looks can boost your confidence and make you better at talking.

    I just had a mini epiphany. The reason "bad boys" are so attractive to people is because they are relentless in achieving their vision. The dedication to their vision that they show is almost like watching a beast like a lion or bear hunt down their prey. It shows the ability to overcome the obstacles that get in their way, like you said. They're not afraid of short term failure, but rather they reject the possibility of long term failure. Dr. K really is a master at this craft of teaching and mentoring. Thank you, sir, for being an inspiration and guide.

    @rorschach775 I don't see how I described an addict. I've seen tons of addicts and they are very different from what I've described. Addicts usually have tunnel vision when it comes to their goal of being inebriated in whichever way they see fit. They're over emotional and quick to anger. Watching an addict look for their drug is like watching an episode of DHMIS on repeat, but with no audio. It's creepy in a lot of moments, and the rest of the time, you're just left guessing if there's anything of substance happening in front of you. The hardcore drug addicts I've been describing, they're only afraid of sobriety and facing themselves in the mirror. They'll hurt anyone in their way to get their fix because they don't want to live without the high. I don't see how I described an addict. They're two completely different things. To be fair, when I think and describe an addict, I think of actual meth heads, the homeless kind on the streets who hold kids at knife point for walking home a little too close to his tent on the roadside, the type that listens to the "shadow people" over a judge because "the judge is a demon from hell," and the type who breaks into a closed Planet Fitness gym during the pandemic and uses it as his personal residence because "God said it's the safest place from the portals opening up to hell." All of those examples, by the way, were one meth head. One I have the dishonor to call my biological father.

    My whole take on "bad boys" is this. When someone is meek/weak, you expect them to be kind. After all, that's all they can be. If someone lacks emotional or physical fortitude and insults everyone around them, they would be stomped into the dirt and left alone. Being nice Is the only way for someone who is weak can thrive. Meanwhile, let's say you have a person who is strong and imposing. They have a sharp tongue and the ability to insult others and back it up with wit and physical force. If a person like that is nice to you, it feels more genuine, simply because they are capable of thriving by stepping on others. Yet when they act kind its a choice. It's not a requirement to exist. Following this logic, some people seek out more abrasive and harsh partners, they might even tolerate some levels of abuse since the times they are nice feel more meaningful. Scarcity is what gives things value after all.

    For anyone wanting to learn more about charisma, I highly recommend the book "The Charisma Myth" by Olivia Fox Cabane. It expands on things discussed in this video like vision, implementation, and compassion. It takes a scientific approach similar to how Dr. K does in these videos and it breaks down charisma into a handful of well-defined types, which is huge. That knowledge will make you aware of the innate charismatic qualities that you already have, and through that self-awareness, allow you to lean into those qualities in a 100% genuine way. Just get the audiobook and play it like a podcast how I did, it'll pay off.

    Well one way to acheive it is to let go of the notion that you need to convince most of the people you meet, which is a trap that a lot of people fall into. They face a handful of "rejection" then wallow in echo chambers that convince them that the whole world doesn't like them for reasons x, y, and z - other people's anecdotes become datapoints for their own life. They're far too focused on the collective of people instead of talking to the individual in front of them, and accepting the fact that they may or may not connect with this person for reasons that aren't necessarily anyone's fault. Sometimes we don't vibe with the person we meet and that's ok - that's just not the right individual to make a more permanent part of your circle.

People take me more serious at work (Im a woman who works at a video game store, not always easy), people start randomly talking to me outside of work and overall I have found building relationships with people easier. This is purely due to mental work, things that Dr. K talked about like being authentic and being better at communication and reliable.

    Can't believe Dr K is 41, he looks and feels so much younger. And yes, he's very charismatic, but I don't really think it's just because he's got a vision and writes down things before talking. Of course that gives him direction and clarity, and makes listening to him not only pleasant but also valuable. But most of his charisma comes from his personality, and not everyone has got such a personality. It's not only about what you say, it's about how you say it. Many people are authentic, know things and even know how to talk about those things, but charisma in my opinion is much more about an inner fire that makes everything you say interesting because your words are impregnated of your soul. Wit, humour and compelling communication come from that fire, so the first step that many people should take before the ones Dr K talked about, is learning how to light up their inner fire.

    Yes, I think you are correct but I think that inner fire you are talking about is part of what Dr K says when you need to start cultivating a vision. That vision itself gives you confidence, direction, and ambition to move forward and this causes people to perceive that you have the inner fire. For instance, if your vision about your future includes being able to live a life that you yourself are proud of and you actually implement steps to move forward in this "vision", then people perceive you as being someone who has "self confidence" and an inner fire that allows you to do hard things, but for you you are simply doing things that would make you proud of yourself(for example like building up your body, providing for your family, going out and taking risks to advance in your career, etc.). Part of what makes Dr K so charismatic is that his vision is tied to helping people like himself(he has said before that his 20 year old self was aimless and he lacked understanding of himself), so now he appears as more than just your average doctor because he is committed and actually cares about his vision of helping people.

    @@sovereignknight9290 I think you see it the other way round, in my opinion the vision comes from that inner fire (and, of course, developing a vision feeds that fire on the long term). People who don't have that fire can build a vision out of rational thinking just because they want to make sense of their life, but in most cases it's just a list of things they consider good, it's not a primary instinct that's naturally part of themselves and therefore they come up as bland and not that magnetic even if they have a vision.

    When you mentioned you would write everything before speaking, it made sense as to why I would get comments on articulating things very well. It’s because I’ve practiced saying these things in my head and writing it 1000 times before I made the final draft. Charisma is really just inspiring people to be better versions of themselves. You leave an impact so much that they can’t help themselves to be around you.

But then it will never be lost to time. You can come back to it. And you will. And then maybe there will be a whole reasoning with the idea, a set of facts to build from. Then maybe you'll rehearse telling someone about it in your head, or with a friend, maybe in writing who knows. But all this process will end up paying off. We just have to remember, we do not decide when it pays off. Or with whom. But we can be certain that it will.

    Charisma is in some ways an acknowledgment that the charismatic person is both leading and following at the same time. It engages the other person fully because they are communicating a vision to them and then allowing the other person to accept or deny that vision. It’s the balance in real time between taking and giving control to another person. That active process comes off as what we call charisma.

If i use common, no broad words and explanations people put my word meanings together differently rhan what i am saying. And they get the wrong idea about what i say. The compassion authenticity is a wierd thing for me. I have a friend who is a bit annoying/toxic and i have told him that he is it. With the intention to make him self analyze and make him think about "everything". And last the communication style i like to explain and go "deep" in to conversation to get the other person to communicate openly and use "rare" words to explain what they mean. I want to feel proud of myself for opening the eyes of my friends. I have had deep conversations and they have told me that wtf did i do bc they are thinking completly diffrently. One of my as i think of it flaw is when i think about this stuff i feel like a narcissist or egoist but i hope im wrong.

    ​@@mr-shadiI think compassion will come as you get older. For me it was very familiar. Honesty was my "vision", and I was too honest and straightforward with a few friends who turned out to be insecure (which I didn't think about back then cuz ofc they veiled it, as it common with insecurities). So I've ended up indirectly hurting them. After that I asked them about their points of view and done some thinking. Now I'm only honest to the extent that it's beneficial to my friends. (So when I'm thinking about what to say or not, I'm thinking about if it's beneficial for them to know my point of view or it'll just make them worry or give up etc.) So it kinda lines up with compassion. (sidenote: my vision became making the world a better place through my surroundings, so like being kind, inspirational, welcoming to others, being compassionate, noncompetitive where it is not necessary, and being aware about the bigger (societal) consequences of my actions (like who I should vote for in elections, or what are the premises in climate change problems, or what are the consequences of the large scale popularity of social media and digitalisation (aka many people believe the hateful bs that random tiktokers say)))

    I think people feeling understood sell charisma incredibly short. Some of the most captivating and engaging conversations you can have with someone is when there's enough difference in understanding to feel compelled to bridge that divide... Not in a contentious way, just the key being that each other's vibe being comfortable enough that that person is genuinely interested in understanding where you're coming from, yet feels heard enough by you that they feel comfortable in opening up to you with their genuine thoughts and feelings about things

    So, something about Vision. Vision requires hope. And it's hard to have vision if there is no hope. Regarding communication. When I was younger, middle school, and even some into high school, my communication skills weren't that great. But then I wound up spending a long time talking to myself, though I did a lot of it as though I were teaching a class. Unless working through a problem or complicated issues with myself. I was my own therapist in a lot of ways. This really built that skillset over time. I'm also a writer and have been for 20+ years. I occasionally journal and get my thoughts down on paper. But I write fiction, and the occasional essay or article, over various subjects. Stuff I know a lot about or am passionate about. And then there's all the conversations I've had over the years, especially in text/written form. I'd like to think that this has really built my communication skills over time. I've spent a long time focusing on truth. And yeah, I was an asshole about it back in the day. I try not to be now, and like Dr K says, lead with compassion. The truth can be a weapon, but it doesn't have to be. It should be used for the better. Honesty and integrity are very important. I know I don't always get it right, but I try. And when I don't I do try to do better. I do try to reach for empathy and compassion where I can. I guess these factors are why people seem drawn to me. Which I just don't understand. I have friends of mine who have told me that I make making friends look easy. Or that I just draw people in left and right. That I can just light up a room. And I'm like... I don't really see it. But I guess clarifies things some more.

    that bit about strategic thinking is so good actually, that's what i've always felt, i can think and make good decisions when it involves anything other than my own real life. i'm basically making decisions all day long but leave the acting upon those to others while i stand at the sidelines, because i know my executive functions are messed up and i'll just get stressed and disappointed when i try to do something. yeah i think everything i struggle with ultimately boils down to having poor executive functions in certain ways but not in others. i can't trust my brain to do what it has to do, when i want or when it has to happen, at a fixed place and time. eventually i get things done, but i'll have taken an enormous detour and gone on 5 10 mile hikes before i finally walk down the road so to speak. the reason for being so apprehensive to just go out and walk down the road is often just the fact that there are lots of other people on there as well and i can't deal with that, so either i ignore all of them or i get fixated on specific people and never make it to the destination. in the meantime i'll have missed all the other stuff happening around me, all because i cannot for the life of me distribute my attention properly when i'm out and about. most of the time it just feels like i'm a passenger in my own head and i can only hope that the driver doesn't do anything stupid or crash into anything. then the moments i do regain control over the steering wheel, i suddenly realize how fucked up the car has gotten, and that the driver is completely incompetent, but before i can do anything about it i'm forced back into the passenger seat without knowing why or how. i can get a feel for where the car is likely gonna go next, but i can't ever be entirely confident, because too often it's just done a random u-turn, or swerved into the guard rails out of nowhere. i'm constantly on edge because of this, and don't allow myself to make a fool of myself by being the way i am around other people anymore. and i know i can drive, i've actually gotten my literal license, but i always feel that's only because i had a good day once, and i'm not like that consistently enough to be able to go on the road whenever i need or want to. also real life has real consequences, like death, and i don't think i wanna die just yet. too often i've heard of people having their life destroyed or actually dying because of a single bad decision or inattentive moment, and if i'm gonna be around for the long haul i at least want to have every part of me as intact as i possibly can.

    There are 3 steps to doing anything. It's also how AI is trained to do stuff. Step 1 - Feed in more data/references/examples. (Learning) Step 2 - Focus on the reward that will come from doing that thing. (Reward) Step 3 - Create a 3-step (or multi-step) process to reach that reward. (Process) I find that we all have large goals, but because we believe we just need to do it, like it's some kind of button press, we end up wondering why nothing is happening and we find ourselves instead looking around and getting distracted by little squirrels or birds that randomly fly by. It looks more like a set of stairs. A staircase is broken down into individual steps, and if there is a bread crumb or gold coin (reward) on each step, you will eventually find yourself at the top.

    I hope you see this. Study up on Self-Abandonment. Your reasons for not focusing on yourself and focusing on the external (i.e. others) was a survival mechanism developed in childhood. It wasn't safe to be yourself and to express your needs and get them met. It was safer to attend to others and to supress your true authentic self. "Safe" in terms of literal safety concerns, but it could also mean your caregivers responded to you better when you "acted a certain way" and suppress certain parts of yourself. You learned to not full trust and accept yourself. But you can now learn you matter - all parts of you. Learn to accept all parts of you, rebuild trusting yourself, forgive yourself for the times you abandoned yourself and understand it was to survive, and learn to show up authentically. Godspeed in your healing in journey of Life.

    In an abstract and simplified way, you could say that the source of charisma - at least the kind of charisma that makes you attractive - is rooted in self-confidence. There are a million different ways to exude confidence, but i think it is important to develop yourself to a point where your self image is at least at a net-positive. Personally, i imagine my confidence comes from just being analytical and not parroting what other people think, but also not being afraid to change my mind and admit when i'm wrong (work in progress, that one). I have heard from friends that they are sometimes exhausted by speaking to me, because of how uncompromisingly analytical i am, and how i can never just "small talk", or "let things rest". The same people have also commented that after a while of not hanging out, they missed speaking to me, because "most conversations feel very superficial". As a guy with autism who has huge issues socializing, i see this as an absolute win: People can hang out with me until they can no longer bare the constant bombardment of thoughts, feelings and ideas with no regard for their own mental state. Then, when they've had enough, they can go back to their own life, until they need another fix of "pessimistic, existentialist absurdism".

But i needed to have a goal in mind to know when i was doing good and when i had to Change behaviour. I always required a logical thinking behind my Actions, even not planning something out is a weighted choice. After shift in mind, my 2023 was probably the best year I lived! Maybe I incorporated Vision without knowing, but the final goal (that nobody could say if I would ever achieve in the First place) was what kept me motivated. I watched a ton of RP, BP and other manosphere content, but I had goals in many aspects of my Life and step by step i made progress in all of those.

    The most important thing to understand in life is that no one ows you anything by default, not even life. Everything we think we do is taught to us, either directly or indirect, from others and a combination of ourselves or just by ourselves doing something completely without anyone else's input and perspective on it, especially in the very begging of our lives. We have to realize that most expectations we have should never be guaranteed and to not place value to them, because they don't it fails, it backfires and it takes us down if we do.

    agreed. i think this reminder has helped me allow myself to let go of so many things that were holding me back. I try to tell myself that nothing is guaranteed in life and that both bad and good things will happen throughout my life. but what is important is to always focus on the bright side of things, of course. don’t just flat out deny the negative as well. just let the positive refute the negative and do your best to focus on your positivity. our minds already unintentionally seek the negative all the time as we’re constantly trying to please our confirmation biases, so adding more negativity isn’t going to make things better.

    Regarding "vision and the world is falling apart" The world has ALWAYS been falling apart. IS ALWAYS falling apart. All peace we have experienced through most of history has been bubbled that existed between all sorts of drama and conflict. So making a promise to yourself to ONLY plan for tomorrows when things settle down is a recipe for unhappiness. Our ancestors survived wars, plagues, invasions, corrupt governments, famines, starvation, and battled nature to survive. They found partners, made families, persisted, and flourished. We now live in a time with a level of infrastructure providing an abundance that would have been afforded to KINGS in times past. And people will still complain about things being too hard. So the world "falling apart" is a perspective problem, not a life problem. And once you learn to think outside of your own immediate desires and feelings, you also learn that you can be stuck dead center in a trash situation that sucks, and still have a plan for both how to get out of it, AND what you'll DO once you are out of it. Always be working for that better tomorrow.

    You're welcome: 00:00 🌟 Understanding Charisma Beyond Physical Attractiveness Charisma is not solely tied to physical attractiveness, comprising six dimensions. Three key attributes of charisma hold more significance than physical attractiveness: communication skills, honesty/reliability, inspiring admiration. Physical attractiveness accounts for only 10.5% of charisma; the remaining components are more vital. 03:39 🎯 Developing Charisma through Vision and Implementation Vision and its implementation play a significant role in fostering charisma. Vision isn't about achieving goals but embodies the direction and ideals for one's life. Society's structures, like schools, often hinder the development of personal vision. 08:31 🌌 Steps for Vision Implementation Vision implementation involves clarification of ideals, structuring processes (when, where, how), and strategic thinking amid setbacks. Shift focus from specific goals to a broader ideal, outlining the approach rather than just the end result. Strategic thinking involves navigating obstacles while consistently moving toward one's vision. 13:14 💬 Communication Style and Authenticity in Charisma Authenticity is pivotal for charisma, fostering trust in a society characterized by deceit. Being authentically oneself, tempered with compassion, draws others closer. Combining authenticity with a communication style that values compassion over radical honesty is crucial for interpersonal connections. 19:32 🔍 Vision and Authenticity Developing authenticity and compassion. Importance of clarifying and implementing a vision. Balancing authenticity while tempering with compassion. 20:01 🗨 Communication Style and Clarity Emphasizing the significance of clear communication. Techniques involving writing to enhance communication skills. The impact of writing on clarifying thoughts before verbalization. 21:40 📝 Writing as a Tool for Clarity The practice of writing to organize and clarify thoughts. Utilizing writing to sound more competent in verbal communication. Clarifying thoughts through writing, improving the quality of conversation. 24:14 🌟 Key Elementsfor Improved Charisma Vision, authenticity, implementation, and communication as pillars for enhanced charisma. Attainable strategies to increase charisma by focusing on controllable factors. Charisma enhancement not solely reliant on physical appearance but on behavior and communication skills.

    In my opinion the most important aspect of charisma is just to show that you like and respect other people, and body language and smile is perhaps the most important as it's the most effective way of communicating emotions. If you show a little interest in people, give them some attention, though not too intensely, that goes a long way, but also show you actually enjoy talking to them, not that you are doing it out of obligation or pity. Being likeable is important for charisma, but the main thing that makes you likeable is that you like other people, and show it. But it does have to come from a place of authenticity, if they get the impression you are just talking or being nice to them to get something back, that can cause distrust, as they aren't sure what you really feel. This is part of why confident people tend to come off as more charismatic, people are less likely to second guess their "nice" behavior. You also can't be very nice to people you actually don't like, that is not authentic, but you can still treat them with respect, don't punish people because you don't like them. Respect doesn't mean you can't criticize other people for their behavior, it's about how you criticize them. For example, instead of just telling someone they are an asshole, point out negative consequences of their behavior or how their behavior makes other people perceive them. Most of the behavior that makes people less likable is due to inner insecurities, or lacking healthy ways to deal with negative emotions. Of course, you can't never have negative emotions, and getting rid of insecurities is a very long process, and it's not realistic to expect being able to overcome all. The important thing is to find ways of dealing with them that doesn't make you less likeable. Suppressing them often doesn't work in the long run, it will likely come out in other, more subtle ways, ways that often can be hard to link to the negative emotions, making it harder to understand why. Not trying too hard to hide insecurities is important, as hiding them can make you seem less authentic, and it can make you behave in ways that are hard for people to understand when they don't know your emotional state. But you also don't want to make other people suffer from them, don't guilt them or make it their responsibility to fix you. Jealousy, for example, can be one of the toughest to deal with, as it's almost impossible to show it or be honest about it in a way that doesn't make you less likeable. It's one you have to deal with alone. What you can do is to do a lot of introspection to try and understand where the jealousy is coming from. Not showing jealousy doesn't mean suppressing it, it means not letting it control your behavior. As Dr. K talked about, writing about it can help you understand the emotional triggers. Finding phrases or sentences you can tell yourself is one mental "hack" that can be efficient. It can for example be telling yourself that this emotional reaction is not logical, it's telling me things that are false. Doing this is like one part of your brain communicating with another part, helping the part responsible for the emotion correct itself. You shouldn't shame or punish yourself for the emotions, it's just about reminding yourself.

To have charisma, you have to be in tune with your emotions and that of others, you have to be present in the moment you exist in and not in your head, and you have to exercises confidence in your knowledge, ability, and status.

    For sure with the writing it out and doing the thinking beforehand. It is basically preparation. Don't be unprepared. Also important for those times when emotions are clouding your thoughts, as they will absolutely influence your communication. The positive stuff will be more gushy, while the negative stuff will be much harsher and darker. Complaining to that manager (for example) right then and there will usually be all negative and upset. Instead: accept the situation in the moment - write the complaint out later - and then sleep on it - and then rewrite it properly/objectively when not so clouded.

I got good people around me; friends family colleagues sportmembers, all are people with a positive look on life and making the best out of what you’re given Partly thanks to living in The Netherlands, very safe wealthy place to live Which can help give birth to two hope-giving thoughts: 1. Not everywhere is shit and not for everyone the same. So different exists, is possible. (Not saying within same easy grasp for everyone equally, but it is out there) 2. Authenticity helps move toward the right environment, the right life(style). If you think & feel & speak & act the way is authentic to who you want to be, the world will respond. Those who respond poorly in your taste, are not the people/environment you want to be or stay in, those who respond like “hey we match!” are directions and opportunities to gather more of. Paving a path towards what you’d want to get to. Soon, eventually or right now.

    absolutely there have been teachers and friends who were very charismatic And one case that I can never forget is this boy in my brother's class ..he was the fattest kid but he was so social , filled with mannerism even the ones who were naive , bullying and yk kinda reckless would fall to their knees He transcended horizons😂 honestly like every kind of person would atleast try to listen him once ..it was the miraculous thing ..he is now doing bsc in organic chemistry I hope he is still like that Like he was pretentious at times but still you can't ignore him .
