This is why I always have silent beef with the most charismatic dude in the room. It’s like the mask slips when we make eye contact and they know that I know.

My ex-husband was this way, super charming, very charismatic. He definitely emotionally abused me never physically, but he was a classic narcissist trolling all the things behind closed doors.

Yes. It’s the transactional kindness to a perceived authority.

I once heard "charming is an action not an attribute and you should be alert to the reason why someone is trying to charm you"

my ex husband was like this. When I left him, my family tried to convince me to stay. It made me feel crazy.

Kathryn Lewis :
true in my case 🙃 my therapist once said that she finds charm/charisma "inherently suspicious". She feels that way for a reason, and now so do I.

Yep, I’m a DV survivor, my ex is in prison and people still ask me about when he is getting out. I’m a horrified every time it happens.

My dad was one. He was talented, charming, goofy, and friendly, with just a dash of dorky. No one would have guessed. No one believed us.

God you described my ex… he made a best friend out of every customer. He ran to help friends and strangers but couldn’t help his gf, me, disabled af. He’s trying to reconnect. Thanks for this.

My ex was charismatic AF, made friends instantly (hindsight red flag he didn’t have long term friends) emotionally and physically abusive to the point of needing to escape…

Fellow social worker here, oh its a red flag alright. IMO it could show the innate need to be liked and needed. Along with a possible fear of abandonment, being disliked,

Yup, like why do they NEED everyone to like them? What are they building up the social currency for?
