In a word. Yes. I find myself drawn to other very free spirited individuals who are very fun and energetic. They also understand my need to isolate when having a mixed episode or am in a deep depression. They can truly empathize, and when two people are in the thralls of a happy hypomanic state, they can have a great time, get into a lot of trouble, or both.

"I hated labels. People didn’t fit into slots—prostitute, housewife, saint—like sorting the mail. We were so mutable, fluid with fear and desire, ideals and angles, changeable as water."
