I seem to be drawn to and stick with persons with a volatile kind of temperament -same as myself. I been told I am the kind of person who 'wears their heart on their sleeve' Can't help it -it's genetic. That's the way my gal friend is too.

They should be relatable. That is, they should understand why I like what I like and don't like, my dreams, fears etc. Second: They should act as if we are equals, not like they are teaching me but that we can learn from each other. Third: They should have a good sense of humor. It's not necessary but is always good for relief from a normal level of social anxiety.
It varies. And the variety is as myriad as the stars in the sky. I am drawn to people. I am a student of human nature. This does not mean I want them for any other purpose than to just observe and accept. That is why I am in the career that I am in. I seem to be able to hear a few words from a person and get what they are about. The rest of the massage is easy. I tell myself I like them. I see them as bodies that need help and I hear their voice and I get drawn into their world for an hour or two and communicate with many different personalities that I normally would never have considered. I learn a lot this way. Humility is a very important aspect of this profession and I need a big dose of it daily so the job is perfect and that is why I am attracted to most people. Just to learn from them. I have a voracious appetite that way. I learn how to behave myself better.
