Charming is more about you, you're easier to be around. Charismatic is about making the other person feel good about themselves.

I think you have it the other way around.

charming = making others feel good

charismatic = people flock to you, like a magnet.

But then notice how with charismatic people others are always smiling and happy around them, this person who they think is awesome is also making them feel awesome that's why they flock

well thats their charismatic convincing personality thats doing that, not their charm I think. A charming person doesn't necessarily have leadership qualities, they may be happy around you, that doesn't mean they're drawn to you. But a charismatic person it can be the other way around.

Villains can be charismatic and manipulative. You know they're bad to be around, but you're drawn. you may not even like the person, but you still listen and follow their moves, whether directly or indirectly.

It's confusing lol

Ok let's look at this like this charming can have a verb, you can charm someone and that means they become drawn to you/like you

You can't charisma someone it's all about your aura

So yeah actually, you're right it is the other way around but I'd still argue that a key factor of being charismatic is people being drawn to you e.g. George Clooney, Obama, Julia Roberts

I think a charming person can have little to no friends, but a charismatic person will always have loads of friends, people are just drawn.

My next question is do charming people have more friends or acquaintances? do charismatic people have more friends or acquaintances? :ohhh:
