I think you're mixing 2 different things, charisma and success. If you think charisma will lead you to success, you're wrong :) people have created an entire business based on this false statement. It's a trap for people like you, you should focus on the success part not the other one because it's optional.
I have 2 questions for you - Do you want to become a director or some sort of CEO right now? How old are you?
If your answers are Yes and >30y old then you should probably work a little bit on that because it will help you in your day to day life. It might make things smoother but again, it's totally optional! If not, then you're fine, just live life. Real charisma and true confidence come with age. You become wiser, humble and less sensitive. If you're in your 20's people won't take you seriously anyway. Look how long it took for bill gates and Zuckerberg to become "charismatic". Money and success made them charismatic, today when they enter a room people shut up and listen. Look at them, they're freakin nerds! And they were inspiring people at the very early stage of their success. Charisma? Come on... it's like buying books on how to look like Brad Pitt. All you need is to inspire people when you talk or simply say relevant things. Being tall, standing straight, and all this BS help people selling books and crap. Or it's valid if you're on a date and want to look super confident, which is indeed attractive for a lot of people. But for different reasons...
In other words, be yourself and do your own thing.
