Have any of you noticed that you have the ability to seduce anyone, male and female, into thinking that you are basically perfect?
Every guy I meet thinks that I am "the one" with in the 1st conversation and girls think I am their long lost soulmate...
I don't really try to make it happen... It's more like I know what they want to hear and just give them that.
Anyone have this happen to them?

x.x Yes. x.x Drives me crrrazy, sometimes, because I end up being "friends" with the wrong people.

I have done this more often than I care to remember, But I've also done it on purpose. I've even used it against my own husband to get my way. Works everytime! I think, it comes from my mother...  |

I don't think that has anything to do with being Otherkin, that's personal charisma. Sometimes the great deal of time you may have had prior to this incarnation has given you a bit of an edge in social situations, but that's about the furthest extent I could see.

*shrugs*
Could be due to being 'kin, though, if you think about it. I can think of several reasons why, the strongest being that we have a sense of ourselves that other's don't; feeling that little thing that sets us apart in a way sort of DOES set you apart.
I've noticed that on the days on the bus, for example, when I'm thinking about what it means to me to be angelic, people can't take their damn eyes off me, and I'm not even attractive. The days I could care less? People care less, too.
I know this can be for people who aren't 'kin either, but I think those that ARE 'kin have this situation in spades simply because of this personal awareness.

Half of charisma is not at all physical attraction, it's self-perception.
If you hold yourself differently, act differently and have a different outlook of others and yourself, your whole presence is exceedingly different.
Being awakened may have something to do with this, but that self-perception comes from you and your mind, not from being an Angel.

In a way that self-perception DOES come from being 'kin, angel or otherwise, though. If you didn't have that particular awareness of what you are, you'd be less in tune with yourself and may present yourself in an entirely different way.
Perhaps this isn't true for some, but I'm pretty sure that's how it's worked out for me, from my own experience, at least.

What happens to your self-awareness and personality if kinship turns out to be a delusion?
In this hypothetical situation, you will continue to have the same personality regardless of your false conceptions of yourself being gone.

Mmm.... no, I don't think you have the authority to tell me how I'll act in any hypothetical situation. In fact, I really don't appreciate that.
I've said elsewhere, though likely not on this forum yet, that I'm really relaxed and ok with the idea that this could all be bogus, and that I could be deluding myself. But to say that it wouldn't effect my personality to learn that something I'd believed for however long wasn't true? Bullshit.
Maybe once you get to know me, you might have a little more of an idea how I may or may not act. But now? I don't think so.

so what you're saying then is that if everything about kinship you thought you had or knew was taken away you'd seep into a ball or become a very different person?
I'm more asserting that your personality comes from you, and it was most likely the same or similar prior to your awakening. If you had a major change during your awakening... then that's your choice, like a person hearing the call and becoming a priest after a long streak of drugs sex and rock n' roll.
Do you act differently because you think you're an Angel? Or do you act in a way you believe to be right to do for your purposes?

No, I'm not saying that at all.
I'm not really interested in arguing further; all it's going to succeed in is making me frustrated with trying to explain how I feel to someone who doesn't share that feeling. I don't want to be frustrated by what I am/how I act/who I am/what I do; quite frankly, there are more important things in life.
Enjoy.

I'm just trying to hammer out the details instead of agreeing that if a person awakens as kin their personality shifts, and if they stop believing it, it shifts back.

Actually, I never said that, either; never said that it would just go back to the way it was. It's very possible that a new option will come up; does a person not change, learn and grow throughout their life? Might open new doors once others close.
As for your wanting to hammer out the details, perhaps you might want to stop using a hammer, and use something softer. It's getting intimidating and uncomfortable.

bean bags don't flatten a surface to get it to fit. If loose nails are details that aren't in congruence with the idea they come from, only a hammer can get it fixed.
If I used a wrench to try and twist the loose screws to tighten down someone's idea, someone would yell that I'm twisting their words.
