1. Confidence
2. Humor
Then you ask them how to acquire those skills and you get a shoulder shrug. Isn't it funny naturals can't break things down into specific advice or tasks. They give you vague generalities that you already know. Once you internalize something, it becomes retardly difficult to explain. A natural teaching you game is like you explaining to a fish how to breath on land.
For humor, its really easy to do. Just watch hours of standup. If you been a keyboard jockey for many months now, why not focus your time on the computer to watch something actually FUN. I mean do you really want to spend all your days meditating and yelling self affirmations or would you rather laugh your ass off watching comedy? Humor diffuses awkward situations, makes people like you, and it allows you to get compliance and escalate. I bet you already knew that didn't you?Okay here is what you do SPECIFICALLY. Its easy as 1, 2, 3 all you have to do is show up! You wont even get rejected!
1. Download standup comedy audio and video off the internet.

Find a location near you. Bring a date, a wing, or go as a loner. Either way, you will laugh your ass off.
3. Sign up for improv comedy.
Improvisation is the bread and butter of witty, on the spot humor creations. You don't want to be stuck reciting stupid routines for the rest of your life. What happens when you run out of routines? **Gasp!**
