    Someone asked me what charisma is. A big part of it is seeming to care a lot about whoever you're talking to.

        People who've met Bill Clinton all say the same thing: when he talks to you, you feel like you're the center of the world.

        The seeming to care need not be fake; indeed, the best way of seeming to care about people is actually to care about them.

        it's a mindset. "What's the most interesting thing I can find out about this person?

        I think not. That's what a nerd like me does. A charismatic person asks what the other person would most like to talk about.

        it's much more than caring although that helps. I used charisma for my work as an exec in big multinationals. Character is important

        having charisma means people stay glued to you when you're talking

        How do you think about charisma in a public setting? When they are not in person but are on TV or giving a speech or something?

        I think its on a different axis.. Surely there are people who do care a lot about you, but don't have that same effect.

        Or, have that effect, but don't actually care about you
