Is it possible to raise your charisma? (improve!)?

Answer 1

One very good way to become more charismatic and likeable is to... don't laugh now... talk to yourself in a mirror. When you can see and hear yourself in the mirror you can see exactly what other people see and therefore you can improve upon it.

Answer 2

The word charisma (from the Greek word χάρισμα (kharisma), "gift" or "divine favor," from kharizesthai, "to favor," from kharis, "favor") refers to a rare trait found in certain human personalities usually including extreme charm and a "magnetic" quality of personality and/or appearance along with innate and powerfully sophisticated personal communicability and persuasiveness; in short, charisma is often used to describe a seemingly uncanny ability to charm or influence people. It refers especially to a quality in certain people who easily draw the attention and admiration (or even hatred if the charisma is negative) of others due to a "magnetic" quality of personality and/or appearance. Though the term as it stands is extremely difficult to define, other similar terms/phrases related to charisma include: grace, exuberance, equanimity, mystique, positive energy, joie de vivre, extreme charm, personal magnetism, personal appeal, "electricity," and allure, among many others[1]. Another term constantly used is the "X-factor." Usually many of these qualities must be present within a single individual for the person to be considered highly charismatic by the public and their peers.

Despite the strong emotions they so often induce in others, charismatic individuals generally project unusual calmness, confidence, assertiveness, dominance, authenticity, and focus, and almost always possess superb communication and/or oratorical skills. To the early Greeks, charisma was said to be "a divine favor/gift" or "gift of grace," implying that this "divine quality" was an inborn trait; today however, many believe it can be taught and/or learned, despite the persistent inability to accurately define or even fully understand the concept.

Professor Richard Wiseman says that a charismatic person has three attributes:

they feel emotions themselves quite strongly;
they induce them in others;
and they are impervious to the influences of other charismatic people

Answer 3

I don't believe that you can actually raise it- and appear natural. Suggestions; Take dance and/or acting classes, perform and/or entertain in public before anonymous audiences, try to mimic others that you think have charisma.

Answer 4

Sure, just make people laugh, but in a way that makes you seem clever or intelligent. I know it's not easy for some people to do that, but it works very well if you can pull it off.

Answer 5

To me that just seems as if you're trying to change yourself to appeal to more people.... i guess thats not that bad... but who cares about what other people think and if they dont like you...

i'm sure you're already charismatic enough!!
