What makes you bond with someone?
There are some people with whom you click immediately and others with whom you have a warming up period. Still others that you never grow close with at all. What are the little things that make you feel closer to someone, or make it more likely that you’ll bond with them?

An example for me here is when someone expands on a joke you tell by taking it across threads

i only get close to very very few people anywhere ever and then i try very hard to keep them in my life forever
so prolly mutual interests and a cult-like mentality of commitment5 -
i generally get along with most folks
don't care for overt political talk, don't care for gossip, don't care for judgemental behavior when it comes to how others live their lives.
long as they can avoid that and can make me laugh when im in the sunken place then odds are we'll be cool together6 -
maybe bond is a strong word. I mean more like what endears you to people?1

I was typing some things and I realized that I'm *kitten* up. So nvm I don't know how in the first place and it's just me and the animals. We bond because they're soft and cute and when they judge me it's also cute.3

Banter. If you come at me with some witty/sarcastic remark, it's game on.1

I love a well-played insult. I’m way more drawn in by people who read me well enough to know that giving me a hard time about something will make me laugh2

People who are real. Tell me about your flaws and failures as well as your victories, no matter how small; and appreciate mine2

Yesss! I have thick skin and a hellacious sense of humor. Can be dark sometimes. It happens. My day isn't complete without a well-played insult or even a complete roasting session.1 -
Consistency and effort is what builds a bond with me and someone else.1

I know how this sounds but I bond immediately with folks who are cynical, a touch grouchy and who can make me laugh about how stupid it all is.0

All I retained was "sunken place..." ARE YOU GOOD?!

good question
let's see.... values über alles
also, a good (yet slightly dark) sense of humor.
and, it's critical that they don't take themselves too seriously3 -
When I feel a connection I chase it til it works or it doesn’t3

Shared suffering = strong bonds

Oh! I also like grumpy and/or introverted people who try really hard not to like me but who eventually give in because I am relentless.4

Every introvert needs that one friend who is like this. But, like, just the ONE is enough 🤗2 -

Truly IRL they are the people I like best. If you give them a chance speak they have the most insightful things to say and are really hilarious when they tell me to calm the *kitten* down. 😂💕3
