Back in high school (which is for me a few years ago) I used to be shy and couldn't really talk to people. I would just stutter and say crazy stuff.
Not anymore, and I have gotten to realize how. I would also watch a lot of mocvies in that shy fase. What I did was imitate the characters. When I realised what I was doing, I started to do this on a more aware level. Whenever I see a character that is supossed to be charismatic or socially well-developed, I start to study that personality. Yes, it has gone to the point of studying them. I watch the way they move, walk talk, what they say, why they do hat they do and how it helps them. I look for scripts on the internet and I order DVD's of movies I already saw, just because of the charismatic character in it.
Now, the reason for posting this:
1. For the ones that need it, being helpful.
2. For me, because I was wondering, is this something more people do or is it just my personal crazy thing, so to speak.
Ow, and if anyone knows a movie with a character in it who is charming, social or whatever, let me know;)
