what is charismatic??? heard of it but dont know what it means!

I would defer to any dictionary over "my" definition - but it means someone charming, engaging, someone who tends to attract people and put them at ease.

This means that someone has a very engaging or attractive personality.

someone who makes you feel good about yourself and them at the same time!

My definition is someone who lights up a room when they come into it.

Like, the kind of person who, when you're around them, automatically makes you happy.

Someone who just radiates happiness.

i think Charismatic is having the ability to cause devotion or admiration in people. it could also be possessing great powers of charms and influence.

For me its "magnetic" in a way that you draw people towards you with your warmth, generosity and appealing nature.
