Not taking life too seriously.

Being curious about the world around them, not easily bored.

Being caring.

More interested in doing than talking. <---that's a rare one unfortunately.

I actually like people that talk a lot (so long as it's interesting) - fills the gaps if I'm quiet.

Honesty is the big one for me. Which is funny because my closest friend has barely spoken a word of truth in his life. I've got him pegged though

Oh talking is cool and fun (with the right people) don't get me wrong. But people who seem to use chatting as a hobby and can't be arsed to do anything else bore me to death. There is a whole world of stuff out there to do and make and see and create.

Haha

I also really love people who are extremely patient. Massively underrated trait that is, especially in today's culture.

^ I've used that one before actually. Someone started a thread with a long post about how he had ADHD and he was really worried he couldn't concentrate on anything for any length of time. I just replied - tldr.

Luckily he knew me well enough to take the joke.

(Olly, if anyone remembers. Wonder how he's doing now)

I listed 'eccentric' earlier but would like to change that to 'unconventional' - I love people who are unconventional, but not so sure about eccentric now

Animals are vulnerable to us, so people who respect and care for them show a good trait for sure, agreed!

Interesting. I don't mind mild racism or homophobia in others. Never understood what's wrong with the instinctive natural feeling of preferring your own kind. I don't identify with or feel enriched by multiculturalism in the UK. I'm just being honest. Sometimes get looks of horror from zeitgeisty groupthinkers when I express this mild and normal viewpoint but my mind is free.

Strongly suspect this post will be deleted because although it complies with all the rules of the forum it doesn't comply with the zeitgeisty groupthink!

I don't think it's preferring of your own kind that is the issue but that racism can sometimes exclude people or stop them being happy e.g. people verbally abusing interracial couples, for example.

PS. Logically, just because an opinion is held by the majority does not necessarily mean it was born out of groupthink.

That is the sort of thing we all have to fight against as a civilised society. I accept the world I live in is the way it is, and treat everyone I meet the same regardless.

Honesty, but not in the sense where one is honest and mean, rather honest and assertive

Being real

Open mindedness

Understanding
