Sociopath Community

Isn’t charisma defined as like superficial charm or something 

“ Superficial charm (or insincere charm) refers to the social act of saying or doing things because they are well received by others, rather than what one actually believes or wants to do. It is sometimes referred to as "telling people what they want to hear".

 Charisma isn’t the term used to describe  superficial charm. Do you not notice “superficial charm”. If it can be called “superficial charm” then genuine charm does exist.

Charm is different from charisma but their both similar to the point they can be under the same definition/category as each other depending on what you are describing.

Superficial charm is a manipulative ploy. It’s a carefully thought out process. Genuine charm does involve thought but they don’t intentionally think on how they can charm somebody on purpose.

So I guess how to differentiate between fake charisma(sociopaths/narcissists) and genuine charisma (normal people) is too sense whether they are being genuine. Genuine charisma is never carefully planned it is a personality trait that has developed. Fake charisma is if a person has intentionally employed a certain action/ appearance based on your assessed weaknesses to get on your good side. That being said I don’t think genuine charisma is ever intentional, I think it’s one of those personality traits that people have unwittingly.

I just didn’t think genuine charisma existed ipso facto. Let’s look into it more.

But I guess someone can be naturally charismatic and also superficially charming at the same time. I don’t think sociopaths are actually charming or charismatic people. It’s all an act to disguise their terrible character.

I asked Dr Google : is charisma genuine ? And I got first hit:

”Charismatic people are very good at showing their true emotions when this works to their best advantage. They are usually also good at masking or acting in a way that makes others believe what they see.”

Okay I get a very different picture now of charisma, genuine.
