What makes someone special ?

April 24, 2017 2:13pm CST
So, one day, a best friend came to me with a difficult question. "Why do you like me?" he said. I definitely could write a long list of things that I like of him, but a why..? I remember thinking 'come on, do I really need a reason to like someone?' So, I told him the lamest answer I could think of 'I dunno, I just do' And now looking back at it, I still don't think I'd be able to give the right answer. I guess, If someday I find one why. Maybe that would be a time when we're not best friend anymore. So, what makes someone seems so special in our eyes...?

yes, very true..those are the things on my list too.. sometimes, I confuse with my own point of view. certainly "because you..." is a whole different with "because I..."

sometimes "I just do " is the best explanation we can provide. mostly, we tend to connect to them on personal levels, and the chemistry gets only improved with more time together

Sometimes its hard to put into words what you like about a person. I just like them and most of the time I would not know how to tell them why.

@april_ang Feel the same yes. Its hard to put into words really and I would not know how to compare its sort of like a sixth sense that you have about them. I can pick up various emotions in the voices of people. This morning I am hearing the voice of defeat in one voice in particular but I could not tell you how I know it its just there.

@april_ang Chemistry that is the feeling. I have just come across the adjective "chemistry" they have that something. Its much the same when you come across someone for the first time and you don´t like them for some reason that you don´t even know yourself.

Likes not necessarily love. If loving then surely like, willing to sacrifice, accept the shortcomings, regardless of circumstances, conditions, without expecting replies and likes an important without limit

yes.. i think there is this special kind of bonds in friendship that word love could not even suffice.. well, since you're indonesian too.. i'd like to say that our language of 'sayang' is something whole different & more general yet compact than 'cinta'. for me at least..

One who is honest, thoughtful, light-hearted and easy to be with and gives you lots of smiles and laughter---these are the things that makes someone special to me.

How they behave towards us, if we have things in common and also if they people can be trusted.

Good question. Someone who's caring and understanding. Someone who's supportive and there for you.

it was also scary question. its like someone trying to figure out his/her existance on our benchmark. which is also means a trust issue.

I think that sometimes you don't really now why you like someone. Sometimes it is just a chemistry thing. Sometimes it is the way they relate to you.

Yes, chemistry that ought to be one of the mistery involved in any relationship. I didn't think of that..

It is a relative aspect. Always. Every person can not look special to everyone. If that is the case there will not be any marriages and love affairs. Some people look special in their teething and some will have a good smile, some a small scar on their cheek and some will have very dominating personality and will be more affirm in dealing with others. A small change in the hair style will change the appearance of a person. These are all external qualities. When you really attract a person through your internal personality that will make a permanent bond. It takes a time to identify that.

hey.. nice, that a way to put it.. thanks for the elaboration..

Great question!It makes me into thinking the reason why I like my friends.Actually I like them bacause they share the same hobby with me and we gonna talk more always.Then I think it is because we have predestined relationship with each other. Sometimes we don't like someone any more because we don't appreciate each other any more.

yes, thats my point. its okay to like someone for a reason or two or more, but once that said reason is gone, there would be question why should we stay friends..

this looks a difficult question. really what makes me like someone? maybe i will look at some qualities that i appreciate, love, selflessness, such things then we can be friends
24 Apr 17
very agree..xp and unlike other kinds of relationship like loves or families. friendship is fully our conscious decision. from the first Hi to the last goodbye. each stage is a matter of choice whether to left or to stay.

If we are talking about liking someone at a first glance I wouldn`t know why, it just happens. But I do think a lot about people I meet so I usually know if someone is special. To me special people are kind, genuine, loyal and share at least some interests with me.

agree.. we easily like someone with the same interest as us.. and yes, genuine is the first impressions that I always try to look from someone too, whether I knew him/her or no..

That is really a great question. Very difficult for me to answer. May be How Much can be fairly answered but Why sounds difficult.

I do not know really why I like the people in my circle. Maybe because I have no choice hahahaha.

Yeah that's a very difficult question lol...maybe he wanted to know about him like what's good in him... or maybe somebody said something to him so he wanted to confirm from you that what do you think. ..

It's just a like with no reasons. You find him compatible ,you like to share your thought with him and that's why may be, you like him. It's a kind of frequency match.
