Is it normal to wonder if you or someone you know has Charisma?

I foresee a lot of ego stroking in this thread.

I have been told that I do indeed have the 'moves like jagger'.

I had Charisma for a little while but she was too expensive.

I REEK of it.

REEK, I TELL YA!

I can be persuasive if I try, but I have poor social skills, so no.

My friend sure does. Holy crap.

Yes. You won't believe me, and I wouldn't blame you. If I was myself to people I certainly wouldn't, but I act most of the time in reality, so you wouldn't know.

Charismatic isn't a word I use to describe people. I'm not even sure why, I just don't use that word for some reason. To be honest, I'm not sure I fully understand it. Um, I guess I do know people with charisma. Blah, I honestly don't know! I've never really thought about this before.:/

I had to go look it up.

I am a very good public speaker and I am a fairly decent leader, but as far as charisma goes, I don't have it unless I need it for work, school etc.

I am very social and I can command group attention fairly easily, but I am not a perpetual star of the show so to speak.

Maybe I'm feeling analytical this morning, but nobody has answered the question as it was asked.

I don't tend to wonder whether others have charisma. If they have, I notice it. I don't tend to wonder whether I have charisma, either.

I don't think it would be abnormal to wonder, though. It's just that I don't.

Charisma isn't a mysterious thing. It's just a combination of attractiveness and social skills or public speaking ability.

Uhhh well uhhh... No. I dont.

Not me :D

I've always thought of charisma not as something you have or don't have, but as something you can have different degrees of (e.g. "he/she is very/not very/quite/a bit/extremely charismatic").

It's probably my natural cynicism rearing it's occasional head again, but I also think having charisma is a very over-rated ability. Defined cynically, having charisma is merely the art of deceiving people into perceiving you as a good person when you're (presumably) not one, and people who do that don't deserve the praise society gives them.

My God I'm in a bad mood today =L

If I had charisma, I probably would have had the ability to keep friends that went away to college :/

I don't wonder about it either. And to adorn myself with dappled's plumage, I don't think it's abnormal to wonder who has it, including yourself.

I think I must have been born with anti-charisma as I have to work like hell just to get people to say simple conversational things to me.

I have charisma when i am talking to people i am attracted to.....but since that is so rare i rarely have charisma..when i am attracted to someone my eyes become 10 brighter...the low ranges of my voice box have more timbre...my skin sensitivity is more electric and my brain is more stimulated and i become more funny and witty...so some people think i am very charismatic and some think i am a dud...but it is really them
