What are some books that help you master the art of talking, wit and charisma?

I'm cripplingly awkward around people in terms of lacking confidence, worrying about what I should say and what people will think.

I'm trying to become a better social person by reading more non-fiction and weight-lifting, I also have other problems which I'm helping with therapy. So I'm looking for recommendations.

An American?

There are no better remedies for this than practice and age; with age comes a sense of not giving a fuck what people think.

Memes aside I think good charisma is a result of a specific kind of parenting and set of childhood experiences. Your best bet is to surround yourself with people you enjoy talking to and converse with others as much as possible.

You posted Jim Larkin. Maybe join the labour/socialist workers party and start talking to folk there. Find a cause and a purpose. Be a leader.

I'm not an American. I see an occupational therapist and a psychologist. I don't take drugs, like Americans.

Thanks about the age advice, though. I'm 19 and I've been like this for years now, so maybe I'm still young.

Thanks for the advice.
I'm not a socialist but I like Jim Larkin.

That's another problem, I don't have a lot of purpose in life. Trying to improve myself in order to find one.

Finding a purpose is key. You cannot be a good speaker if you are not passionate about you topic. Finding a purpose isn't too hard, now is the time to experiment your options. Read books in a wide range of subjects and find what you like.

The other factor is, of course, practice. Once you find a passion speaking about it will become much easier. With enough practice and heart you become unstoppable.
