What is the opposite of charisma

[AlicornAcolyte 254]

So, we all know that some people are just charismatic. They just have that certain "gift" which makes them popular, attractive, and desirable to associate with.

 

Recently, I have been wondering what the opposite of charismatic is? Is it merely just not having that special "stuff" which makes one attractive, or is there perhaps a "gift" of negative charisma, where you just have this innate ability to repel people?

 

Thoughts?

adjective [tim·id·er, tim·id·est.]

1. lacking in self-assurance, courage, or bravery; easily alarmed; timorous; shy.

When someone whining charismatic I usually not always see them as timid or shy.

I call that emotional entropy. Not really shy or phobic, but when a person just is a black hole that passively sucks all the energy out of a room.

I sat next to a person like this when I went to the evil dead musical. Yes it exists and it's awesome. But yeah she just wouldn't even great a smile really bummed me out.

Easy, social awkwardness.

I wonder whether the opposite of Charisma is a specific lack of it, or it going into the negative and you suddenly become kind of a dick.

 

For example, if I were to ask, "What is the opposite of a banana?" The question should make you raise your eyebrows. Because, is Charisma something that has a negative? Or is it just a trait without an opposite? Is it possible to be timid and charismatic at the same time? For example, you like to avoid interactions with others, but you use your innate sense of charisma to eliminate any social interactions quickly so you can return to being your solitary timid self. Unless that's not how timidity works. Eh...
