Amen.

And this makes me so fucking sad, why do so many people hate on other people?!?!?!

I admire those who exhibit positive qualities that I, myself, do not have.

yeah it's like when someone has a photo of themselves for their avatar - if the person is doing some funny expression or dressed in a stupid costume or something nobody has a problem with it, but woe betide you if you happen to be good looking - you'll be told you put your photo there to be egotistical and show off and all that kind of crap. While if you weren't good looking, people would say it was nice that you gave your posts the personal touch, etc.

It's amazing how jealousy can create all sorts of bullshit reasons for even the most sincere, innocent or benevolent behaviour.

These people may have friends, I guess, but, ugh, in my and and I believe most people's books, they are just plain wretched.

People make friends in the first place because they're insecure.

I am not trying to insult your intelligence when I state that nobody, and I do mean nobody, likes a loud-mouthed, socially-inept and self-absorbed extrovert.

That would be me..to a T. I hardly think I am "wretched"! :shock:

I am actuall quite fun if you get to know me!

People make friends in order to attempt to connect with one and other and to bridge the existential chasms that lie between us.

We make friends to feel less alone.

Lol, you really think you are socially-inept and self-absorbed?

Very nice discussion! I like it...

Okay, now about the friend factor.

What do Extraverts do when they can't find other people to bond with, when they are universally disliked? They may end up all alone, so then could they be mistaken for extreme Introverts, if you wrongly assume that they want to be alone? Or is it hard to "hide" an Extrovert?

IME, they become cynical with the world, and feel miserable, their self-esteem takes a plunge and they may surf the web in search of a connection;)
You may mistake one for an introvert for a while, but if you take an effort to get to know them, their extrovertedness should show up almost immediately.

Back to charisma.

Extraversion and charisma are not the same category of thing. Extraversion is how you deal with the world. Charisma is a quality ascribed to you by other people. One attributes charisma to someone who alone or in a group makes them feel special, understood or important. Someone who can make many people in a group feel this way at the same time has charisma.

Someone who can make everyone in a country feel special, understood and important has Obisma.

That's kind of what I was thinking. It's just such a weird concept to me...that E-factor. Some of my best friends were like this growing up, being basically disliked by everybody, except me. I think they're cool. Anyway, I guess that's what I'm trying to gauge here.

Just goofing on the trend to incorporate part of BO's name into other words. constantly.

Ask away, your questions make me analyze my own past and problems with this, which allows me to be detached enough to see the bigger picture :)

I think it's extremely difficult to hide being an extrovert... I've got the perfect example. I know a guy called Dan... We went to school together a few years ago. He talks all the time. The guy just can't shut up. He can talk about the weather for two hours in a row! I've seen papers on that he suffers from MBD among other things... A few other things that makes him unpopular is the fact that he is pretty stupid... I don't think he'd ever score more than 80 on an IQ (or EQ) test. He also tell people that they are ugly and stuff like that to their face, like "you've gained a few pounds", "you are looking awfully chubby today, miss"... And he wasn't joking around or anything... He even said stuff like that to teachers!
Back to the stupid part... We went to a high school program focused on electronics... He didn't fit in. After a few months not coping with anything, he reportedly tried to change all his courses to like philosophy and stuff... And he still wanted to graduate as a technician! :shock:


Because people are insecure.

No, this is just because we're weird, man. :D

He should take some Peptobama Bismol.

It must suck when you're initials are BO....

:D

I'd imagine nothing would suck worse than being an extrovert who has made themselves extremely unpopular. They'd probably turn to the internet. I wasn't unpopular, but back in high school when I didn't know anyone I could relate to, I found myself on the internet more.
