Ah, there you are.
Come closer. I have something to tell you about charm.
Finally. A skill I can use while doing absolutely nothing productive.
Oh, you misunderstand me already.
Charm is not making everyone like you.
That sounds exhausting. Imagine trying to be liked by everyone. I would need a nap just thinking about it.
Then what is charm?
Making someone feel noticed.
Remember their name. Ask about the thing they care about. Notice when their voice changes. Notice what makes them light up.
People tell you an enormous amount when you make them feel safe enough to talk.
That sounds a little manipulative.
It can be.
That is why you must decide what kind of person you are before you become good at reading people.
Understanding someone’s weakness does not give you permission to use it.
So what do I do with what I learn?
Use it to understand them better. Not to control them.
And remember something else. While you are studying everyone else, they are studying you too.
Oh god.
Yes. So stop performing.
Be charming, but stay yourself. Otherwise you may become so good at being what everyone wants that you eventually have no idea who you are when nobody is watching.

Thoughts

You arrive at a street… It’s a corner even. Where? What? You look at the map again. Mhm. It seems that you have to put your back to the church and your nose towards the corner of a street; Mirallers.
