This may sound like a strange question but what do you prefer in a friend, someone who is quiet and easy going, or someone who is loud and likes having a good time. Describe what you like in a friend!

I have interacted with a lot of people throughout my day. However, I think that the best type of people are very open minded and do not take life all that seriously, but seriously enough where they are not fooling around all of the time. What I mean by that is that they understand there is some absurdity in life and just go with the flow as it happens. However, once it is time to get serious, they are ready for it. I tend to like people that are fairly reserved as well. People who would understand that there will be times where I need some time and space to myself and they will be able to grant me that. People who when its time to back off, they will in fact back off a bit. They will not smother me, rather they will give me the space when I need and back off should I need it. If I need them they will be ready, but that's about it. Those are the type of friends that I enjoy being with.

I think you match my personal preference very well. I have never been one to get stressed or down about my circumstance because usually whatever is happening isn't the end of the world and I know that. I have always ended up with laid back friends because I think people who get stressed and wound up easily kinda bother me a little bit. I'm also someone who really enjoys my alone time. I like being around people a lot but I also need my alone time and it's hard to get along with people who always want to be with someone.

Yes, it's nice to have friends that talk a lot because those people are generally a lot more fun to have conversations with. I also get really upset when it comes to friends back stabbing one another.

I prefer sincere, honest, and understanding type of person. I feel that is very necessary to be good and true friends, the fundamentals of true friendship. Of course, each one of us has different nature and characteristics. One has to be patient and understanding too.

I like people who have their own opinions no matter what others think, but I dont like sarcastic people or closed-minded, I like the cheerful, adventurous but more importantly humble and sincere :)
