Q-How important are similar personalities/traits to a good friendship?


A-not at all me and one of my best friends are almost complete opposites well maybe a lil important one does have to be able to establish some sort of common ground to level with each other essentially


The majority of these interview subjects admitted to having a significant effect on their friends and having been affected significantly by their friends. However having similar personalities is said to have little to no stake in the quality of the relationship, but everyone said that having common interests was important to maintaining a good friendship. Some effects listed aside from interests and personality were responsible habits, and the type of friend that had the most effect on their friends were charismatic and social. In these interviews it can be assumed that mostly positive attributes are shared, but thats not to say that negative attributes can be shared among friends.
