    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 seriously

    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*

    Shared suffering = strong bonds

    Endearment? Idk. I like funny people who are clever with words. And nudes.

    trauma bonding is usually what does it for me.

    This, I can relate to.

    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.

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

    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. 😂💕

    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 love

    But all jokes aside... I seem to bond well with high energy, loud, bubbly, ADHD kinda people...

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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

    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... 💕
