6 Signs You’re Secretly Charming
According to a behavioral expert.
Vannessa Van Edwards is a human behavior investigator and the lead researcher at the Science of People.
Together with her team, Vanessa has done several interesting studies on human behavior, and according to her, most of the cues people give when they are attracted to or repelled by you are usually either chemical or evolutionary.
In other words, the things we do when we like someone are impulsive. If you’ve liked or fallen in love without knowing why, then you understand firsthand what this means.
We have a predesigned response to certain things in our environment. Hence, according to Vannessa, if you often notice these behaviors around you during social interaction, it means people find you charming.
The Intimacy Zone Breach
Have you watched concerts where one of the fans of a celebrity suddenly jumps on the stage and hugs them tightly? That’s a breach of the intimacy zone.
As Vannessa explained, the closer people want to be when interacting with you, the more charming they find you. In her words,
“Pay attention to the space around you and count how many times they come into your intimacy zone–it’s about 18 inches away from the body.”
