What kinds of people do you prefer to make friends with?

Well, I really like to make friends with independent people person, I believe that’s the most important personality.
If my friends need me, I will be there anytime. But they don’t doesn’t need to do everything or share everything with me.

I also like to make friends with people the person who have a different life experiences from with me. We can exchange a lot of stories, cultural cultures, opinions and so on. We can open each other’s eyes, and learn about different lifestyles from each other.
By the way, it’s all based on respect, even though we are totally different, but we still respect each other.

And if you like movies, music, drinks, sneakers, diving, then maybe we can be good friends.
