    Are there any people in your life, be it your workplace, neighborhood etc, who intrigue you for any reason? For me, people who dont adhere to the stereotype they project, thats fascinating to me. Example, the guy who on the surface seems to have no other interest than soccer then you discover they run a theatre company part time or maybe its someone you only met once and would love to know more of.

    People with curious minds, people who have different views than I do. Have no interest in people who are boastful or vain.

    Very self-assured, self confident people. People who rarely doubt themselves and their abilities. I wonder what made them that way and how some of us completely missed that boat.

    Those who refuse to follow the crowd and aren't afraid to be different. An entrepreneurial spirit.

    People who are honest to a fault.

    To such a degree that to do so they lose the respect of the peers, along with financial, social and career opportunities.

    People like Frank Serpico, Jeffrey Wigand etc.

    Also people who triumph over adversity or overcome tremendous feats of human endurance.

    Jonny Kennedy, Brian Keenan, Mark Pollock etc.

    Those people who sell all their stuff, buy a Motor Home, and go to live on the road in the US travelling from state to state stopping off in RV parks for a few months at a time. Fascinating.

    That's why I write "rarely" but I get your point. I'd like a happy balance.

    Footsbarn people.
    I don't feel people through the mind. I feel them through how at ease they put me or they're kindnesses.

    Maybe what you are saying is who holds your attention? People who focus on my attention. It's the connection that intrigues me.

    I think though I have an affinity for crazy sane people. Dr Who, the mad hatter.

    Hm powerful people. Kind people. Kind powerful people ..thats rare.

    I actually think when two people focus on each other they intrigue each other.

    Actually non-flamboyance. That can be very intriguing. Stable rock like. Protective. Grounding.

    I dunno I guess everyone can be interesting in a way.

    Something you have not seen before.

    Oh people with a tremendous amount of focus. I saw this woman do a balancing trick all to do with mental focus. It was interesting.

    People who can teach me things. Oh people full of info or organize it well. Thats sounds stupid I know.

    My brother is fascinating. I think I am fascinated by people around me.

    People who have little self awareness.

    People who don't realise that what they're getting worked up about is completely pointless.

    People who take loads of selfies/photos and plaster them all over facebook.
    I just think it's mad and I always try to imagine explaining it to someone from a time pre-facebook.
