To ask if you click with people what sort of people do you click with?

As in strangers you might meet at gigs etc? Or when travelling.

I always click with similar to me. Gobby people generally. Extrovert. Confident women. Sometimes men. I'm over friendly tbh but can't change.

I do get on with introverts in the family but doubt they'd want to spend lots of time with me. I can shut up though. But I'm self aware enough to know I'm not everyone's cup of tea.

So if you're out and about who would you click with? Or do you hate chatting with strangers?

I'm northern btw so we're known for our friendliness.

I'm perfectly happy chatting with strangers (and do so a lot) but you can't really tell based on a fleeting interaction with someone at gigs or pubs whether you're going to like them or not. You have to get to know people at a less superficial level. Anyone can be chatty out and about, it doesn't translate to whether they have potential to be a proper friend.

I'm somewhere in the middle between extrovert and introvert (and I think the introvert term is grotesquely over-used on here), so I can do both big social stuff when I need to and can then retreat for days on end quite happily. I think most people need a bit of both in their life.

But I am sometimes suspicious of people who present as extreme extroverts. If someone has to befriend everyone all the time it makes me think they can't tell the difference between proper friendships and friendships of convenience.

I wouldn't say I'm extremely extrovert just definitely not introvert. I should have said these are people I've stayed in touch with. Met lots of others but not bothered staying in touch. I've met up with these people again. Made some really good friends this way.
Other friendships fade gradually.
