I've had feedback I'm a good listener too. I think being a good listener is a very important quality in a friend. And for me, I like people with empathy. (and I like sensitive people but not so much that they imagine slights when none are there)
I always value your posts here on pc. I think you are a great member and I consider you a friend here. I think some groups of adults are more open to new friends than others. I tend to avoid people a lot
