It’s so easy to be charismatic. It’s so easy to trick people. It’s so easy to talk all kinds of bullshit and not have to actually do half of it cause no one has the time to really see if you followed through with your talks. This is very common with overly ambitious who want to have an empire by 30 people or people who want to seem like they are popular af. (I personally don’t find it plausible)

There is a technique which I haven’t learnt and don’t plan to. That technique lets you glide through your “talk the talk” without having to do the “walk the walk”. I did try it once on my blog actually, my social media post? Remember that, where I was going to do an experiment of staying off for 30 days. Well I got backfired at for not following through and just simply blabbering about it.

I have seen many people who have talk the talk but walk the walk something else. In different scenarios such as start-ups to social scenes to relationships to friendships to every possible scenario really. They will say one thing and either do the complete opposite or won’t even follow through.

I don’t see the need to talk the talk if you don’t have plans to act on them. No one is forcing you to do it. You don’t have to bring it up if the other person doesn’t. You don’t have to bring it up to build your case/argument/brand. You don’t have to bring it up at all. You can avoid or be neutral. It is much more admirable to do things under the wraps instead of stating bodacious plans to everyone you meet.

If you want to talk about it then either talk about it after you have done that action or talk about it and then actually follow through. There is nothing more betraying than having someone say something and constantly do something else. Actions prove words are nothing. This applies to any scenario.

You lose people’s trust first. You let down people. You make people doubt you. You become a mockery. People find out in no time. When they listen to you talk it’s just talk to them and they stop expecting you to do anything about it. It’s just noise to them now.

When you go through all this and come across this happening to you, don’t blame them. Blame yourself cause you brought it on yourself. There was no need for you to talk all that gibberish. No one required you to talk it. Being genuine is way better. Being true to yourself is better. Being charismatic with false intentions is not attractive.
