 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: Magnetic People Which kinds of people do you like be around of for any kind of a relationship? What kinds of descriptive details about them do you look for? ------ Most people first look for--in friendships or serious love relationships--charm, wit, and an engaging personality. I look for authenticity above everything. People who are themselves in a crowd or as private people are very approachable for me. Granted, we all wear clothes, cover ourselves physically or emotionally in most ways so we won't get hurt, and mostly try to put our best foot forward among other people. All this, however, can still be done without harming one's authenticity. By this, I mean if a person acts as if a mountain climber while having discomfort climbing up stairs, he or she is not authentic. Also, some confidence mixed with humility is attractive, too. Then, I like to see and meet people who can take life's ups and downs well enough and accept them as tests or as passing phases without too much complaining or breaking down or gloating over their small victories. Too much of anything can be boring but I can take a person who is passionate about what they do or believe in. I like their enthusiasm and dedication for they carry a sense of purpose and excitement about them. Empathy is a positive for me, as well. Empathetic persons have a unique ability to connect with others on a deeper level. When someone genuinely listens, understands, and cares about others' feelings, their presence has a lot of value. It is in my nature to be drawn to all people, anyway. I think human beings are the most interesting creations and I like to watch them a lot. That must be why I was so drawn to literature and writing all my life. Although with some people, even if I wouldn't want a close relationship with them, I like to watch them and get to know why they act the way they act, although I may favor other traits that tend to attract me to people I wish to have as friends. . |
