Watched a bunch of "Charisma on Command" videos. They definitely helped. At least in talking with my brother, things were a lot smoother.
It's like socializing is an unstoppable train, and you can only steer it, so you gotta steer it right.
Take laughter, for example. If you tell a joke and laugh first, it kills it (or at least, puts massive strain on things) but if you laugh only after (if) the other person (people) laugh, then things flow a LOT more and often the laughter COMPOUNDS and grows in intensity and quantity. It's also easier to laugh this way because you are inspired to laugh because the other person laughed. It's actually really fascinating but also very fun.
I love learning this stuff and putting it into practice.
Definitely gonna get the charisma university (Big shout out to AwesomeDMSI for recommending it) as soon as I can afford it.
Which reminds me: I'm officially looking for another job. I still have time on my contract so I don't NEED one yet, but once my contract expires I'll be out of money instantly.
It is my hope that learning social skills via charisma university will be the key I need to open up my success. I have tremendous motivation, capability, resiliance, and determination, but I've ALWAYS had problems with people. So it's time to address that issue.
I imagine that once I have that figured out, I'll be unstoppable. It's really all I need.
