What makes people charming?

They understand that nonverbal cues often convey far more meaning than merely the spoken word, and they’re highly aware of the pitch, tone, volume, and body language of others.

2. Charming people tell hilarious stories.

Good storytelling is a fine art—and a lost one, at that! You must have one friend who lights up a room with the retelling of a simple story, making every moment come to life and keeping you hanging on the edge of your seat with laughter and suspense.
