13 Tips For Being Charismatic That Are Seriously Helpful

If that sounds good, then you might be wondering what it means, exactly, to be charismatic. “Think of the best salesperson you know, the person who is able to fit into any group and situation, or the person who is so witty they are able to think of funny and profound things on the fly,” says psychologist Dr. Nikki Martinez. “This is charisma, this is intelligence, and this is a quality that will take these people far in whatever area they choose to apply this skill.”

Once you know how to work it, so to speak, charisma can be used during a job interview to win over your potential boss. Or on a first date. Or when hanging out with friends — especially when they need someone caring, empathetic (and fun) to hang out with.

It’s so tempting to trudge through life without looking up. And hey, sometimes that’s all you can do. But there’s no denying the benefits of occasionally making eye contact, smiling, and greeting people. “Over time, you will find more people will be drawn to you because you exude happiness,” intuitive Davida Rappaport tells Bustle. “That is magnetic. Happiness is charismatic.”
