The older I get the more wary of charismatic people I become.

Lol... well, self-kept quiet people shoot up schools, so, I don't think you should really judge anyone on their introvert/extrovert character.

So the key is to be suspicious of everyone. Cool, already got it covered.

who?

People pretend the Columbine shooters were outcasts/loners but they weren't.

I'm not talking about the Columbine shooters... You know that's like a daily occurrence now right? I'm talking about the average school shooter.

Yeah, that's why different types of crime are committed by different types of people. With mass shootings, you have a lot of emotional instability being acted out. These organized criminal endeavors take a lot to lure the potential victim in taking a lot of planning and require a charismatic, manipulative person who can control their emotional reactions until they have the right conditions to release their impulses and sadism.

That’s true, I’ll just be suspicious of everyone. But seriously, as time goes on I have a better feel for if that charisma is genuine or a show.

In my experience, charismatic people who are willing to share fears and weaknesses in quiet moments, or can turn their charisma down when a moment is clearly about another person are the genuinely good ones.

Same. Usually the more charisma someone oozes, the more deceit and toxicity they're trying to cover up.

Well no. Not every charismatic person uses their powers for evil. Y’all need to read The Gift of Fear learn to TRUST YOUR GUT. Use your natural intuition and don’t automatically trust or distrust people based on random characteristics, because that doesn’t actually serve you.

Agreed, though i see a case for arguing its harder for the gut to recognize danger against a charismatic personality since their behaviour is often disarming even for our subconsciousness.

So a little-bitty more suspicion against people that seem to take the lead naturally and get everything they want by being such nice and motivating peeps is warranted id say.
