| What type of ppl usually tries to talk with you and befriend you? •in order to form friendships/Relationships are you the one that often has to take the initiative and make the first move or does ppl often come to you first •What type of ppl would you prefer to gravitate towards u ? •What type of ppl do u gravitate towards? |
| Hi |
| I would say the people who are more on the talkative side and like to joke around. Since I'm usually the same way around others in real life. |
 |
| Just people who keep the good vibes and maintain the chills |

| On MAL, it's people who are interested in the database or shorts. Elsewhere, I guess it's people who share interests with me. I guess I gravitate towards people who are by themselves, but seem approachable. |
  |
| emotionally absent people, if any. i gravitate towards shy people but dont rly meet ppl anymo |

| Idk I guess most people with a proper moral compass. Usually kind people, goofy people, people who look for support, ... I'm a nice person what can I say? This goes both ways, I gravtitate to those kinds of people myself. People who don't usually gravitate towards me are the typical gymbros, even when I used to go to the gym constantly. Couldn't care less about that 'lookmaxing' and 'sylemaxing' lifestyle and personality. |
Nothing amazing ever happens here. Everything is ordinary. ♫ This staircase, it leads only To some old pictures of you Through an a-thousand-mile-long tube ♫ |
| On MAL it's probably my humour or curiosity because of things I often talk about. IRL I'm not sure....as I act a lot more reserved, but maybe because I'm just a familiar face to people, as I know many people from just going to the same wrestling shows as them. |

| Never been in a relationship but in terms of friends, mostly fun and talkative or social type of people talk to me more. They usually start by mentioning my height if we are meeting for the first time. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| I seem to attract the choleric and/or melancholic types with a (very) low libido, emotions that go like a rollercoaster, lower self-confidence and potential self-harming tendencies. I hope to attract more sanguine types with at least a normal libido, more control over their emotions, better self-confidence and generally more respect to their own body and life. But my savior complex usually makes me more interested in and attracted to the former group. I'm usually the first to initiate, but quite some times, people also come towards me. It can feel nice having people come to me for their vents, but also emotionally taxing if it stays one-sided and if there is no real positive development. |

| I am a magnet to worst types of people - based on what they have done/being sentences for, which is why I jokingly say that I always need to go with a friend or a buddy to a bar, cause always when I go to a bar on my own, I end up having a conversation over a cigarette/beer and getting to know with ex-gangsters, criminals whom finished their sentence or in some cases mafia members [probably not real mafia, but I just share what some people shared to me] I personally when I am at place where I usually meet new people which is usually a pub, bar, sometimes convention etc. I just gravitate toward people to whom I have a feeling that I could have a long and interesting conversation about anything, as that's what's the most interesting to me while meeting someone new. |

People who enjoy a good conversation, maybe? I feel very blessed that @Auron enjoys talking with me (seems we have overlap with a different part of the internet too), especially since recently I haven't had the time I so dearly wish I had — same reason why this post isn't as thoughtful or introspective as I'd like. |
 Another hero? Oh, please! You're a god-damn philistine. |
| Usually more extroverted and social than I am. Kinda goes both ways but I'd say more often others take the initiative to start a conversation. More reserved and chill people. Ambiverts I suppose, seems like I'm too extroverted for introverts but also not extroverted enough for extroverts to fully vibe with lol. |

I'm a pretty cheery person and I like to laugh, It's very easy to amuse me - I very easily amuse myself XD. I also like listeners, because I like to talk a lot.

| I seem to attract troubled people mostly. Maybe it's due to my protective nature/the teacher in me that wants help people and lessen their woes, but it probably also has to do with the fact that I like listening to people. I don't really get fazed by dark stories/other people's trauma anymore. I'll sit and listen to someone rant/vent about the worst things ever and then I'll give 'em a hug and tell 'em I care. If there's anything useful to say, I'll say it, but the core enjoyment I get is just from lightening the load on someone else's shoulders a little. I don't particularly mind that I mostly attract troubled people, but as I've gotten older, I've gotten more troubled myself. My own burden is already a lot and I'd be happy if the next person I attract at the very least can rely on themselves from time to time to handle their own troubles. I just don't have it in me to be there for someone all the time anymore, as happy as I am to take care of the people I love. I am usually the one approaching people, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I might come off as reserved as I'm often in my own world whenever I'm not in a conversation |

| @PeripheralVision It was moreso the previous batch esp. Revolutionary Suicide, and that one Foucault book. In general close to every book I've seen there was engendered from a leftist lens, which isn't a bad thing per se—left critique has many things it gets right—however it does appear to me to be a hopelessly unbalanced media intake, not that it's my business. |

| @Auron Oh, those. I was confused as I did not consider Christopher Lasch to be a particularly Marxist writer, and if anything his diatribes against leftist radical and performative activism only presaged much of the current if less thoughtful criticisms of the left today. As repetitive and all-over the place the book is, I think its criticism of among other things the unrelenting introspection practiced by the Weathermen makes me more interested in them. I mean not sure about Foucault as I am not that smart, but an autobiography of a self-proclaimed Marxist makes sense to call Marxist. I have not even read Marx or understood Marxism! Getting back to TA Today. I think like most books of that nature it is a lens with which to confront trauma and present actions and beliefs, so whatever objective means, this book is more methodological and philosophical than anything. I do not think this makes it useless at all, but I do agree it is more philosophical than anything. Auron said: however it does appear to me to be a hopelessly unbalanced media intake, not that it's my business. I mean, it is. I am more likely to read Margaret Atwood than CS Lewis. auroraloose has done more to expand my reading selection more than anything. So you should, you know, give her kudos. I don't deny this, but I don't want to characterize all of my reading list as being leftist for leftist's sake. James Baldwin does not deserve it like Ian Stewart and Vann Joines do, despite being a very progressive and gay man himself. |

PeripheralVision said: I mean not sure about Foucault as I am not that smart, but an autobiography of a self-proclaimed Marxist makes sense to call Marxist. I have not even read Marx or understood Marxism! Neither am I that smart! I think reading Marx himself (or a reputable secondary source like Oxford Academic introduction to it) is actually a good idea. Unironically reading Marx and observing first hand the predictions he made like tendency of the rate of profit to fall, or disappearance of the middle class not panning out at all was one of the things that tempered my younger leftism to some degree, nowadays neo-Marxists have their own set of copiums like social democracy has shielded capital on the backs of the third world or other post-hoc rationalizations, but getting it from the lion's mouth, it is pretty clear an L, imo. Yeah it wasn't meant to be a denigration of Baldwin, he's clearly a distinguished author who was active in the civil rights movement and all, just a general thing. I haven't read CS Lewis, but I can recommend, Huemer, Caplan, and Nozick (haven't finished this one yet so preliminary approval) for a more diversification on political theory. @Deathko Aha, better not remind you of one.. One was about a book Intelligence by Stuart Richie lol Deathko said: I guess I should ask myself questions before charging in a convo with the subtelty of a drunk pachyderm, instead of doing the opposite...
