The Trait I Desire in Friends, Relationships, and Everyone Else

Curiosity. I want to interact with people who are interested in things.

I’ve mentioned fascinating philosophical questions to people who respond with, “Umm, why are we talking about this?”

Nope.

My most enjoyable conversations are with people who are interested in things. I don’t care that they’re interested in a particular thing. Just that the lens through which they view the world is one of being interested and curious.

I like people who have the same curiosity regarding the texture of potatoes as they do intense philosophical problems. My favorite people are people who make anything intellectually stimulating.

Because really, everything is fascinating.
