You can always tell a Charmer...

You can always tell a Charmer, no matter how they try to hide.

These are the people that will make you feel like the smartest person in the world if you spend any time with them, but do not annoy while doing so. If they irritate and lie at your feet, that is not Charm--they're a doormat. It doesn't take long to get annoyed with this.

Charmers will simply hold the proverbial mirror up to you so that you can see yourself in the best possible light. They will comment when they can be sincere and it suits them--if they are insincere, you can catch them. Thus, they have learned not to be.

A good friend of mine is a Charmer. I realized this when I began to seek out her company whenever I felt bad about myself. (Yes, even I have insecurities. I'm just better at hiding them than most.) After only ten minutes, I would literally feel amazing. She would seemlessly direct conversation away from whatever I had as an image problem to something I was great at or improving quickly on. And I hardly noticed at first.

Praise to the Charmers. They make you feel good about yourself...and say so little about themselves in the process.
