Right, but the 10 most charismatic people I knew in high school are, at best, in sales. I'm probably a 17 or 18 charisma, and it's mostly a hassle. Unless you're a sociopath, you're perpetually annoyed dealing with people.

I get what you're saying, but where would these people be with two less CHA points? Also, I... I mean, you seem really nice, but 18 CHA is hard to believe from anybody, especially if they tell you that

The only person who ever told me something like "I'm 18 CHA" did it really indirectly and slyly in a context that made me feel specially trusted with this information even though it was tremendously obvious and I still smile when I think about the interaction I barely knew him

I'm with Sasha on this fwiw CHA is incredibly, mind-bendingly powerful at small scales and large alike

my inchoate model is something like INT/WIS/CHA are all codependent, and important, but past a certain threshold CHA scales best and is most important for scaling

You guys are putting charisma on a pedestal because it's the trait your aren't extreme outliers in. Unless you're a sociopath, it's soul destroying to use charisma for anything beyond charming the people you meet.

I cannot stress how much charisma maximization requires either high sociopathy or middling iq (ideally both). LA and NYC are great sacrificial pyres to the failure of high cha people. "Oh, I'll just bullshit my way into a job" only works if you're a monster or Dunning-Kruger

So, a high CHA person doesn't "bullshit," I can do that, not hard They speak magically with ease, someone falls half in love with them, and makes the rational decision to hire them, to spend more time around them With the power the CHA person accrues, they often do cool shit

Semantics; I'm not comfortable being gifted opportunity unearned, hence the sociopathy requirement.

fearing and loathing charisma is like fearing and loathing intelligence or fearing and loathing wealth or fearing and loathing firearms

I get at it a bit in this thread I think you're imagining charisma as a tool for exploitation or destruction and while it can be that you can do beautiful things for people by moving their hearts in ways they didnt even know they neededhttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1186471007546011650?s=19 …
