Charm Personal DnD

[lumineth Realm Lord]

Anyone know a real world equivalent to this?

I think you should elaborate your question a little bit in order to make it make sense for those reading.

For those who do not know D&D, explain what this spell is and what you seek out of it, give some context.

"Charm Personal DnD" doesn't say much, and a title should say what you want to say in a concise way.

Essentially I'm asking how I can use magic to just be better at making friends and getting on people's good side.

I was diagnosed with autism in elementary school, found out in second year of highschool, struggled to make friends, and often felt punished just for trying. Now, five years after moving, going to community college, I mostly keep to myself because I'm afraid of someone saying that I'm weird or creepy just because I'm trying to make friends.

So, I'm asking if anyone has used any magic to successfully improve their social life.

As for what Charm Person is in Dungeons and Dragons, it's a first level enchantment that improves someone's initial behavior towards you, as long as you don't give them a reason to feel otherwise. Basically, it's a make friends spell. I'm asking if anyone knows a real world equivalent.

I have a Mars talisman that is specifically for charisma. I wear it in social settings like going to a party or interview and it helps alot. Theres a noticeable difference in my "energy" when I put it on. Im glowing, become more magnetic and interesting to people. This is kind of strange as Mars isn't necessarily known for being charismatic so I've chalked it up to the talisman exacerbating my positive masculine traits.

Well, the text of Charm Person says that their attitude shifts to hostile towards you if they learn that magic has been used to influence them. Which honestly isn't far from the truth if you do use magic on people to make you likeable and later tell them. From what you describe, you want

, but maybe without the emphasis on lying.

Magic for personal magnetism, i.e Charisma, is definitely in the realm of feasibility. Really, it's a byproduct of most personal transformation, which is a large category of magic. Mindfulness is a good practice to start for what you want to achieve, all majiqal practice benefits from being able to bring yourself into the present moment, and that's the best way to engage with people to make friends is to be thoughtful and present while speaking to them. One of my earliest memories is of being told to "think before you speak", and I think as an adult that for a lot of reasons, there is majiqal power in following that advice. One of the four pillars is "To Keep Silent", and that's because silence is listening, listening is thought, and thought leads to more meaningful dialogue. People recognize people who actually listen, and most of them appreciate that on some level or another.

You aren't going to like this, but the equivalent to this is to simply just will yourself to "be charming." I DM D&D as well, so I know what this spell is, you'd have to be mad to want to use the real life equivalent of this on anyone you'll be seeing on a daily basis.

Through the path of Initiation, you become more Aware, and simply perceive your surroundings more clearly. Once you understand the situation, you learn how other people typically act, what's socially acceptable, and finally you understand yourself, which is the hardest part.

Once you're self aware, and aware in general, it's effortless to be affable, charming, a healing presence, and even terrifying at will. The average person operates entirely at the surface level, you just need to learn how to manipulate that surface, like playing with the water in a still pond, AFTER you become aware, of course, you need to go in order otherwise you'll be blindly making currents of chaos you won't understand.

What you're looking for is a quick fix to a very deeply rooted problem. Sorry to say you have a lot of work ahead of you.
