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?
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

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 together
All I retained was "sunken place..." ARE YOU GOOD?!
There's a whole movie about this so I feel compelled to assist immediately 😩

when I open up to them the first time and their response is empathetic and insightful with a touch of humor *swoon*1

Shared suffering = strong bonds
Endearment? Idk. I like funny people who are clever with words. And nudes.4 -

It also helps if she has a secret & dedicated FedEx account number specifically and exclusively for trading underwear cross country or overseas.2 -
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 -
Chemistry. That chemical reaction that produces dopamine and serotonin. Might as well face it you're addicted to love.
Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love1 -
Humor, when a person is clever, or when some writes for the first time like I'm a genuine friend.0

Crossfit
But all jokes aside... I seem to bond well with high energy, loud, bubbly, ADHD kinda people...1 -
The easiest way to explain it is the more country, with a touch of redneck, someone is usually means we'll get along pretty good for a very long time.3

I hear you. This is why I work with animals and by default people (that I only brush on 'bonding' with like basic social niceties).3 -
we'll get along if they understand and accept that geese are simply misunderstood dinosaurian remnants.
like little velociraptors- only with feathers and big hearts and adorable honking instead of the whole murdering thing

Bonding for me is unusual.
I had to "hide" a lot of stuff as a kid, so don't know if that's part of it?
I "get along" with most people - even ones I don't like (funny enough, I often find qualities I do like in the people I don't like after thinking about how much they bother me!)
For me when it happens, its intrinsic and I don't really think about it (except for fear of losing it) and I treasure it.5 -
When I think about it, the people whom I've been the closes with and or had the most fun with, have always been those who just understood me the best, and were looking for the same type of thing... 💕4
