What are some subtle sings of a fantastic person?

[Calebark]

You know what, I absolutely love these late-night OGD discussions, so I have no regrets about making another one.

What are some subtle signs of a fantastic person? You can use yourselves as an example, because you're all bloody fantastic

[strawberries]

always nice and listening to you, even though you're annoying
she knows who she is

[brenden]

When someone has peace in the soul - when you can tell they aren't needlessly aggressive or judgey - they just show peace.

[appleandbee]

Someone that has (to the point of admitting so or showing subtle signs) insecurities. Because they are more likely to be able to empathise with others, accept other people's 'imperfections' and not be arrogant.

Apart from that, I can't go wrong with anyone who is funny, intelligent (not in an academic sense), friendly and indulges in Netflix originals

[peterpiper]

Someone who isn't dismissive and cares about what everyone has to say. Or someone attentive to what another has to say. Usually they'd pause and consider something someone says which might not have been heard above everyone else's own voices. I always see this happen, and it makes me feel as though all faith in humanity has been restored. Much happy, many wholesomes.

Something that I like to see in a fantastic person is the ability to see a situation from someone else's point of view. It's so often that people disagree, but they don't even make the effort to understand what the other person trying to say, or where they are coming from.

Other than that, I'd like to see intelligence, humour, hard working and just pure happiness. Oh and of course someone who loves cricket.

- They have multiple ways that they show that they care
- That they are always up for a joke
- They give support you when need it
- They are the reason why you are still up at 2am

- They are the reason why you are still up at 2am

They're also the people at 2am who remind you to go to bed because you're a miserable person without sleep.

This is the person I aspire to be like

Green crickets are my favourite kind

This is also true

Green crickets are my favourite kind

I don't know, all crickets are equally favoured in my eyes

A sign of a fantastic person is not making fun of Calebark for making a typo in his thread...

I love people who allow you to rant about your passions, even if they know nothing about it. 19th century steamtrains in middle England? Go for it, man, tell me everything!

Someone who is genuinely happy for other people. They don't always look for a reason to better someone else. Like if someone gets good marks at school/uni, they don't say 'but I bet they don't have a social life.' They actually say something positive to them (without being patronising)

[EEEEEEP]

- They care for me heaps =)
- That have a very positive and beautiful aura
- They are very supportive when you're just a bit flat =)
- They raise the bar for what is a good friend =)

I really think the same. Also lately, people who don't need to tear someone down when someone else raises them. So:

"She looked so good that night"
"Yeah she can't help be centre of attention."

Like guuuurrll, let her be smack bam in the middle of the attention if that's where she is happiest - support her in the attention, shower her in the attention, or just shut up and enjoy your own space! No need to bring people down. Everyone gets kicks and confidence out of difference things, different strokes for different folks.
You're totally right, it's not about "oh yeah but they don't have a social life" when tagging onto "they get great marks at school."

I love people who can be just plainly happy for other people. The person I'm working on being! Happy to say I'm on my way...but it starts internally.

Willingness to admit they're wrong, without getting defensive and being open to others' perspectives, in the smallest of things.

And yet finding that balance so they're not just a people-pleasing pushover... I have much to learn here haha.
