I Believe In Chemistry Between People

What does chemistry between people really mean? My interpretation of it really just means that I feel comfortable about being open and myself. It's very rare that I don't have to dial my personality down - with most people I'm just a watered down version of myself, because it turns people off.

I just realised that there are two people in my office that I completely feel comfortable with. And it makes me happy because that is so rare for me. The feeling of sticking out like a sore thumb is more familiar than anything.

I think chemistry for me means that I can be myself, and tell them things I don't usually tell anyone else. Sometimes I can even overshare because I get too comfortable. But the beauty of these people is that I know that they don't judge... maybe that's all I really need for chemistry. To know that I am accepted as I am.

It sounds like you're talking about "comfortableness" not chemistry. I thought "chemistry" between people was when they spark off each other in a way that doesn't happen with most other people you meet?

@sleepyhead I don't get that "comfortableness" with most people. That's why I was wondering about other people's interpretations of chemistry.

Cool. For me chemistry between people usually implies a connection that makes both people work extremely well together. Whether that's professionally, personally, sexually, etc @SW-User

To me, it's about having compatible 'vibes' with the other person.. like you just know you can be at ease with the person without having to force anything.. And things come out automatically, words flow out easily, moments of silence are no longer awkward.. and you just feel good.. like you said, being accepted. It's mutual acceptance.

Most excellently stated. I feel the same way as you do, and seek that chemistry like you have found at the office. I would love that chemistry at home and in my love life with a woman where everything is open and shared!

I believe in chemistry between test tubes.
