It depends. I connect easily with some people and not at all with others.

I am with the right people. I have found all Iranians to be very easy to talk to from the first day I worked at the university and to be around so I would open up very easily around you. I have a lot of Iranian friends, so sweet, gentle and hospitable.

Not easy...u have to work at allowing you to open up to me. Once achieved, I could be ur best friend.

I try to connect with people i think everyone is more a like then we are different.

I'd say so, yes quite easy.

I prefer real individuals, who are down to earth, and true to themselves. Likewise, I live life the same way.
I believe in compassion, helping where I can, and will listen to, and reflect, what others have to say. My word is my bond, and what you share will be treated with the utmost care.

These are the instances where I've discovered the deepest connections.

Am generally open enough unless given a reason not to be ..

Is it easy for me to make a connection?
Yes.

It doesn’t matter if it is for 5 minutes or 50 years; I am grateful that someone wishes to take time out of their life to make that connection.

I know that I ain’t the easiest person to get along with so if their is a benefit that comes from the experience, I am humbled to have Played my part in the production.

Sometimes it feels like I connect so easy without barely any effort. As if I'm an open book. And many have said I'm easy to talk to and make them feel comfortable.

While other times I feel like I'm never quite able to truly bond with people. As if something is missing in my DNA. And I fear they can feel it.

And I'm constantly battling these two opposite sides.

I think that it depends on the person and the situation each of us are going through at the time.
I also think it depends on the message you receive. Some turns me off in the very beginning and when they do, that's it. I have had some good friends whom I've had since 2014 that I've met on EP.

I try to give an open ear to most anyone.

I am. I'm very open. People usually spill their guts to me. Unfortunately I haven't met anyone yet that is open to me as well.

No.

Not easy at all, I tend to listen more than speak and generally don’t trust people very much. It takes a good while before I can truly open up to someone. Let’s just say “childhood trauma” and leave it at that.

I'm super easy to talk to and get usually get people to open up with no issues. Granted... I'm collecting a whole bunch of information to make usefully in controlling that person or others.

It's a character flaw.

I listened and appreciate. I usually get hype from their hype and often listening is enough.

Very. People tell me everything because they know I can keep their info confidential and I’m not judgmental.

I like to think I'm easy to connect with. I find it difficult to have conversation with anyone who is closed minded and or illogical.

If someone opens up to me I am open minded and supportive if they need support. I definitely avoid being the "old guy with all the answers." No one likes that guy. 😅

Not really, unless you have 4 legs and a tail.

Yes, here and in "real life". I am not a judgmental person and am known as a good listener.

Very easy...if someone needs to talk I'm always open to listen without judgement

Yeah. I’m easy to talk to. I was a psych major and it seems that all my life I was the person people came to for advice. It’s a blessing and a curse. LOL

I think I am easy to connect to.
Though I look a bit of a stern and serious person. 😃

I'm better at listening than I am opening up to others

Yes. Very much so. I'm a good listener. Compassionate.

Depends on vibes.

I usually am easy, but I can just as well quickly build a wall between me and whoever unintentionally.

depends on who im connecting with

I am

I’m easier to open up to in person than I am here, I think. I’m generally the listener/counselor in any group. I don’t know exactly how I make them feel, but I don’t make them feel they can’t talk to me. There’s rarely a real connection though. I’m just a willing ear.

Depends on the person.

Depends on the person.

Sometimes they can cut through me like Jello.

Other times, they might need a chisel.

I would say yes some people say im easy to talk to and i dont judge as every one is different, i also keep secrets and very discrete. Ihave had perfect strangers tell me there secrets and never saw them again .

I'm very talkative in person.

People at office have said I'm amicable and listens.
So I hope I'm easy to connect with.

But it's just my view, there would always be people who think the worse about us.

I would demonstrate value, engage physically, nurture dependence, neglect emotionally, inspire hope and then separate entirely.

[@soosie] if someone has a genuine problem and they want somebody too listen too them i am empathetic and all ears and always willing too give them time

I would like to think they would see me as the person they could trust and love as a friend.

I am easy to talk with but nearly impossible to connect with.

Yeah. I think people can feel your energy .

Yep all you gotta do is connect🙂

I am easy to get along with. hard to get to know.

EasyPeasy👍🤗✨️❤️🌹

Yes I think so...

Nope that’s personal 😌🙏🏼✨

I would say that I am very easy to connect with. I try to be positive, upbeat and supportive. What we talk about stays with us. It won't be spread around.
