That's true, but that's not what you said:

That statement implies that your actions are genuine. You're not doing it to gain something off them. You're doing it because you like to make people feel good.
I’ve tried to use a form of impression management I was inventing. It was sort of like the invite women force rape thread now that I think about it.
My theory was that what people remember about you is the way you make them feel and not so much what you say. So I’d try to leave people with a certain feeling about me. I even stole an idea from Seinfeld when George did something that got positive attention he would just get up and leave, leaving everyone with that last impression lmoa.
I can be charming or friendly, I use humor a lot, making someone laugh with get you through to them faster. It’s unsustainable for me, I have a mood shift and just don’t want to be bothered with all that BS

sure. but lately i'm not around others or part of many communities online or otherwise. i've grown less concerned with being seen a certain way though, as i mature like cheese. i actually think i'm not that charming anymore, in person, simply because i can't play the middle class games most do. which means i have to work harder to be charming, probably. i don't really know. i hate the social class i'm apparently part of. these days i feel like instead of trying to be charming, i'm just trying not to grimace.
