| I have been fortunate enough to be close friends with three different people that have what I call "people magic". One of them ended up being my significant other so I have been able to closely observe the benefits. Life becomes easy mode. What's even more interesting is that it's a circular loop, because it's easy mode, they do people magic easier, which makes easy mode all over again. Here is a list of observable and repeatable things I have witnessed multiple times: * Everyone smiles at you, they are genuinely happy to see you (even strangers) * You can always get help for anything at any time * What you say, even if it's wrong will be accepted as true (unless you are wrong too frequently...but people magic people don't do that) * Everyone will gravitate towards you no matter where you are * A huge amount of choice when it comes to partners or choice of friends. (I joke with my SO that if we divorced, she has about 15 people that would date her instantly) * People go out of their way to please you almost to an irrational level (things like acquaintances giving you $50 for something random, waitresses telling you what to avoid, cashiers telling you if something is good or not) * Everyone opens up at you, again to a deep level. My SO knows so many "secrets" from so many people, things their partners don't know, things that they have barely accepted * Raises and promotions all the time. This is cyclical, everyone likes you, you get promoted, customer/clients/coworkers like you enough to tell your boss, repeat I can keep going. I'm an introvert socializing is hard at times, but I won't lie people with true people magic play on a different level. They almost bypass all constraints of society with ease. It's all because they know how to talk and listen to people. People magic people do one more thing though, they have the ability to make you feel special. It's done in a genuine manner...that's how they get you. |
