Rapport is a connection, especially a harmonious or sympathetic relation (from dictionary.com: this is what I meant by like-mindedness and comfort). It's where people understand each other's feelings and communicate well (from Oxford American). What I mean to suggest is that one ought NOT to make that connection, NOT try to understand the other's feelings. I'm taking it a little further beyond the concept of negging. It's not JUST about not kissing up or pretending to hold similar values. It's about having such a strong core that you draw people in to you, especially because you don't even care whether they get drawn in or not. I'll try and clarify this point even further soon.
