Do you seek those who have what you lack?
 
Do you find yourself befriending people with personality traits that you wish you had?
Do you fall in love with those who have the opposite personality?

Sometimes I do find myself gravitating to people that have something I feel I lack in my personality, but more often than not, I am gravitating towards people who are lacking something that I have...which is odd.

As for falling in love with opposite personalities, I don't. Usually people who are my polar opposite personality wise manage to really offend me first.

I find myself befriending people who have the same personality traits as myself. I like people who share the same opinion, interests with me. But that doesn't mean that I don't like people with opposite personality. It makes things even more fun. People with traits I wish I had, I admire them.

Yes, sometimes I do find myself befriending people who have the traits I wish I had. But when it comes to a relationship, not really. I feel more attracted to people with the same traits as me when it comes to this.

At first when seeking new friends I try to find common ground, simply to break the ice with (kinda why I join this site to begin with XD). After that..I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I look to see if we just...click I guess. Ideals of life, stand point with how certain things work, if they're more or less easy going, and have a strong sense of humor.
as for seeking people with personality traits I lack..I've never gaven it thought before, I'd definitely have to do some looking back to see if I have at the least subconsciously ever done this.


For love interest, I seem to have a bad habit of pursuing the "damsel in distress" so to speak. If they're having a hard time in life, and they seem like they're a really nice person that deserves better, I try my best to be helpful and supportive.
course friends of mine would say I have a tendency to also go for girls that will end up treating me badly ^_^;;

I did this when I was younger. I don't feel like I do it now, now that I've gone through so many changes though.

I befriend people I have things in common with. I tend to like people who are part of the "good looking sports playing skinny people"

which really sucks because I always get crushed by a crush, no matter what clique they are in.

All my true friends share something in common with me.
For instance, some are hackers. Some like the same music as I. Some are otakus. Some are visuals. Some are designers. Some are musicians. Some went with me to elementary school. And so on...

I know lots of people who actually don't have anything to do with me; like, I know socialites, narcs, weapon dealers, emos, popular kids, etcetera.

I always get in love with people who are the total opossite to me. Like, for example, I like this girl who is a total socialite and popular at school; she's like really aggresive towards people(which I aren't), she goes straight to the point while talking and she's pessimistic (I'm really optimistic) and she's pretty cute too.

I've had one girlfriend and the weird thing is that she share's a lot of things in common with me. Well, our tastes are similar, but our ways of living are different. E.g. I do HW and study for tests, while she almost never does any HW and never studies for tests (Although she is pretty smart, she gets good qualifications). She doesn't obey her mother; she loathes her! While I do love my mother and I do obey everything she says.

Opposite poles attract

I befriend people who are nice to me generally no one I know has the same interests as me I am just popular among other people like that.

Ninja Caterpie May 26th, 2010 11:27 PM

I befriend people similar to me... and fell in love with someone who couldn't be further away. :D

Hmm, I usually befriend those who don't like what I like at first, maybe a few things in common but eventually we end up both liking the same thing because we've seen/heard/done whatever we have wanted together.

Putting it personality wise usually they are way too noisy while I'm quite quiet at first, eventually turning noisy. Or they're bossy while I'm not as bossy, so usually they have the opposite personality, some have the same, it's usually opposite though. As long as they're nice, I'm fine with them.

i don't befriend people because they have traits that i wish i had, but when i have a friend like that, i get jealous sometimes. lol..

as for love, i suppose i like guys who have traits i wish i had o;

poopnoodle May 27th, 2010 6:13 PM

i admire those who have positive qualities that i'm short of, but i'm not exactly drawn to them. i dont scrutinize people for traits of any kind, im a friend to anyone who is pleasant.

RUBY8 May 27th, 2010 6:26 PM

No, I hang around friends that I like to hang just cuz i roll like that. My friends don't have to be like me or have the same intrest as me for me to like them bcuz if they did that would be SO boring.

TheUltimateSacrifice May 27th, 2010 10:49 PM

No, for I seek the means to fight injustice; to turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.
