I like to listen to people who can express themselves well, communicate freely, and are independent.Passionate about things - I have my own hobbies and topics of conversation that I love to explore. Seeing that in someone else is invigorating not simply because of the topic but because of the fact that there is interest in it. This shows character, and character is something that many people either lack or choose to hide because they are afraid that other people will not like their "character". It's sad really.I need a real person to talk to not the persona that you have created for the world to meet.
