What are the traits of a person you'd confide in?

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,671]

It's a simple question. Name a bunch of traits that a person would have whom you would confide in. Or describe such a person. Up to you.

 

Preferably a wise person able to give good advice. Someone honestly sincere and sincerely honest. Empathy is definitely important but known when to put one's foot down if I'm being stubborn. Loyalty definitely helps. Orientation to seeking to understand your feelings with clarity (good luck with that).

 

That's what I could name off the top of my head. Give it a go.

Probably someone named SunBurn, who should PM me right now. =3

[Gone Airbourne 21,969]

I used to have a couple of really close friends in which we talked about things and such.

 

But these days that is something I am truly missing and seeking patiently. Someone who is always themselves, who would accept me for who I am with my faults, and caring.

[Invincible 2,090]

Trust. The most important thing for me when establishing a deep bond with someone else is to be able to trust them. I don't care if they're dumb as a brick or have a weird fascination with chairs - as long as my gut tells me i can trust this person, i'll basically be prepared to take a bullet for them (oh and be comfortable enough to reveal deep secrets to them. That too.)

*Sighs* This is a tough question. I can't really give any specifics, but the one thing I need, is someone who will not, no matter what, betray me and stab me in the back. Someone who understands that my confidentiality is of the utmost importance.

[Justin_Case001 4,855]

Someone honest, trustworthy, open-minded, and non-judgemental.  Someone who will get to know me and not judge me unfairly.  That's the short answer, I guess.

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

I've never really had a friend were I could do that, they were all kind of bro-dudes and it would always be akward.

 

Anyways the traits I would look for would be someone with the capacity to sympathize with me, understanding, non-judgmental, trust, and loyalty.

ME

 

 

 

 

For me, someone with less raging..., kind, gentle, and can have fun with me. 

[Discordly Cutiepie 2,065]

really all i care about is someone that wont judge me for some weird things i do and understands my medical things such as bipolar 

 

i have had 1 too many people leave me because they though i was just depressed all the time not understanding it was not my fault 

[An Unknown Pony. 370]

Someone who is Caring,Honest and Always helpful whenever i am in need of help,also Loyalty,Then I'll Confide in this person with personal stuff.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,838]

For one someone who can accept my crazy, and not try to change me just because.  

 

That and be honest with me, and also trustworthy. 

 

Also, enjoy/share/not mind my love for FiM and Pinkie. 

 

Can't do any of the above, then no deal.  

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

Definitely someone who I can trust and who won't tell other people about my problem if I don't want them to, and also someone who won't judge me. I find it easiest to confide in my close friends.

[Sir Hugsalot 8,619]

There are few traits such person needs.

 

1. Overall caring personality.

2. Such person should be interested in listening to me, I don't want to throw my problems at people who can't or don't want to help. 

3. I need to trust such person. 

4. I have to know the person won't judge me, no matter what will I say. 

[Celli 4,332]

Anybody who I know I can trust. Caring, sympathetic, any good friend.

[DubWolf 16,573]

Mainly someone I can be myself around with (for the most part) and who I can trust .

[Virgil 685]

Someone who has the qualities of: Sincerity ( in the full sense of the word), Humility, Reliability, and Prudence. Although I think their may be a quality that escapes me... as their are people who do have the mentioned qualities but I wouldn't think of "confiding in them". I think the last thing has to do with whether I feel they would be a good person to talk to; although, I think this probably works more to my detriment more often than being beneficial.

Anyone who lends me a hand times of need/trouble, I consider an honest friend/bro/dude/dudette. =D

[silvadel 1,393]

That is easy -- the elements of harmony. 

 

Loyalty to not drop me as a friend for what they heard or reveal what I have said.

Honesty to not simply humor me and let me walk off a cliff without saying the hard rebuttals.

Generosity to actually take the time to hear out and deal with the issues.

Laughter to not let it get them down, and to cheer you up.

Kindness to temper the advice given in a positive and not sarcastic manner.

Bound by the Magic of friendship.

Perfect response. Even to this day it still amazes me how true that is.

[Hashi 323]

Accepting, sharing, understanding and silly.
Somebody who I can laugh with and actually relax around.

[Shadowed Watcher 183]

I'll pretty much confide in anyone who can burn a hole through my icy exterior and wedge themselves in there. Like seriously, I'll confide in gahddamned anyone... like a fool.
