Who/what do you feel the most kinship/connection with?

Debbie,

1.  Animals (excluding humans). Definitely but I'm highly allergic. :-(

2.  Nature (especially trees). Same as well as my wee plants I have in my flat which have names.

3.  People who are (I can't think of the correct word) : disenfranchised, marginalised, vulnerable, different, 'outsiders', come to mind. I'd say it's more people who are "real" who I feel instantly connected with.  I used to make friends with the bullied people are school because I wanted to stick up for them and I hated that they would be hurting inside.  I now know that the bullies were probably feelings that way too....

4.  Some of the rest of human society. This is the case here where I can cry when reading of others trauma because I've been there too in most cases.

That's neat.

I used to find all those faces overwhelming.

Your expansion on number three: I can relate. Authenticity and individuality are so crucial to me in terms of who I can connect with and trust.
