I felt this in my soul. I work in IT and I can describe my job 3/4 of the time as "professional googler."

Everyone in these comments who can relate. Read the book called The Like Switch: https://www.amazon.com/Like-Switch-Influencing-Attracting-Winning/dp/1476754489
It will change your life. It teaches you how to attract people - friends, more-than-friends; while explaining how social interaction works.
I wasn't planning to habitually manipulate people and becoming an actual conman. /j
I don't think that's the point of the book, but sure it can be used like that if you're a psycho with no empathy for others, but then again, most things are like that.
