We're all creative. One form or another of creativity - music, art, writing, etc. We learn a lot from each other by sharing our experiences and likes, so we always have stuff to talk about. I'm the token introvert, though - everyone else is extroverted.

I've more in common with my mother's side than my father's side - mom's side is filled with travelers, storytellers, models, genius, creative-types. Dad's side are rednecks who never left the fifty-mile radius they were born in (dad's a hippie who likes to travel, so he got out).

A little bit. There are distant relatives that I share traits with--and my daughter. As far as friends, definitely, if we didn't we would not be friends.

Something must be off here. You need to have at least a single thing in common with your friends. For family, it doesn't have to since we got no choice already.

interesting

I've noticed that as I get older I have less in common with my friends than I used to.

We have somethings in common I couldn't be friends with someone I have NOTHING in common with.

I don't have a lot of friends but the ones I do tend to be similar in terms of sense of humor and taste in TV and movies, things like that. Absolutely nothing in common with my relatives except for my little brother.
