"are you the favorite person of anybody?"

That was written in huge, bold letters on the blackboard of my Communications Theory classroom. I guess the class before had a paper on that question. We ended-up talking about it for like half-an-hour with my professor and the other students. It's a really interesting question.. made me think.. am I?

I don't think I am *the* favorite person of anybody - or at least, not that I know of! Everybody said their parents.. but.. I have two sisters.. and my parents are happily married, so.. haha I guess my mom's favorite person is my dad and my dad's favorite person is my mom.. if you have to choose just one.. I don't think they prefer any of my sisters over me or me over them.

Do I have *a* favorite person? Good question..

 

ahm mah boifrends faverrite purson

well, probably. imma guess

 

I think I'm my girlfriend's favorite person, and she's mine for sure.
I'm also one of my good online friend's favorite person - she makes sure to remind me and torture me for liking my girlfriend more than her often =P

 

maybe my girlfriends?

my mommy?

 

I am the favourite teacher of about 100 primary school kids. It's not quite the same as being a favourite person but I presume it's as close as I'm gonna get.

I have got some favourite students but I don't really have a favourite person.

 

My daughters are my favorite person(s)

 

I look at the people in my life, much like going to a buffet. Some times, I like to take a little more of this person, a side order of that person - and every now and again I need to have something at each meal from another person to last me through. I go through phases with people in my life much like I go through phases, patterns and waves with the foods that I eat. There is no way to pick just one type of food that is my favourite above all, because I still need all the foods on my plate to give it flavour.

Life isn't really about picking favourite people to have in your life. The question is, does it matter if you are somebody's favourite to you?

 

My best friend is my favorite person, and I think she feels the same way. I hope.

 

I was at a party once when a friends friend approached me and put her hands on mine, then said that I was her favorite person and that she looks up to me... I dont even know her very personally but I guess it was sweet of her to say.

 

that's indeed a better question.. does it matter if you are somebody's favorite person?

It doesn't matter to me. I guess I have been a lot of people's favorite person but the feelings rarely been mutual.. maybe they were one of my favorite people.. but.. 1 all-time favorite person to pick? Maybe I have one.. maybe it's my sister Marie.. maybe my sister Pauline. Maybe my mom.. maybe my best friend from France.. maybe my best friend here.. not sure who that'd be though.. I don't really worry about it.

I probably am my cat's favorite person. Seems like he wants to hang out with me more than other people.. and we have that very special connection.. haha

 

Are you shitting me? Of course it matters if you're someone's favorite person.


Unbelievable pressure to the point of insanity.

 

i think i might be someone's favorite person, but it would be impossible for me to choose a favorite person. i appreciate all my "favorite people" for completely different reasons...thats why i love them... they are each special to me in their own way..

i've never really thought about being someone's 'favorite person', so i guess i don't really care if i am. im not worried about it, i know i'm loved :tongue:

 

I guess it matters in how.. if they're not *your* favorite person.. how are you gonna hurt them? are you? would I be hurt if my favorite person had another favorite person.. or no favorite person? I definitely wouldn't be.. because.. that's selfish and immature.. when you really like someone.. you don't like them because of how much they like you, right?

 

see that's the thing with me too.. is that.. I find it really hard to choose *just* one person because people I really like and care for.. are different.. and I love them for different reasons.. or there is no reason.

I guess if I like a person a little more than others for some reason.. because.. who knows.. I might just feel more comfortable with them.. better connected with them.. I don't know.. then they may be my favorite.. *the* favorite.

 

totally...i mean i could probably narrow it down to like, favorite family member, favorite significant other, favorite friend, or something...MAYBE... its still hard though!!! plus they can possibly fluctuate..

but i could probably count all the people who have my heart on one hand.. and i feel like i am a 'favorite' to those people as well.

i think its more about who you truly love than who is your favorite..kinda similar

 

hmm I wonder....... my parents had 5 boys, and I dont know if any of us were a favourite.....

 

even with this great objective reasoning I still choose my daughters...I am thinking they will always be my favorite person(s)

 

I'm probably my little brother's favorite person (he's 10)
don't have a favorite person myself really. I love all my family and friends and would go to hell and back for my brothers and sister, but not really any favorite person.

do I care if I'm my little brother's favorite person? damn straight I do, means the world.

 

by not caring.. I didn't mean it doesn't mean anything to me, of course, it's touching, especially if I care a lot about that person..

 

i do not think i am anyones favourite person, and that makes me a little bit sad inside, but i chose not to focus on it
just because i am not someones favourite person now, doesn't mean i won't be someones favourite person later on
but...i also am completely oblivious to most peoples opinions on me.......
i also do not have a favourite person
not really one anyways
there are obvious pepople that i love and absolutely love to be around, but i don't know if that makes them my favourite person
