For me, a Favorite Person™ has some combination of the following traits. They don't necessarily need all of these qualities, just a majority.

* They're (usually) my favorite person to talk to and/or be around.
* They're the contact point for everything that will bring me a better life.
* Can make or break my day with one comment, question, or action... Or even just a sliver of attention.
* They can make me feel the richest happiness, the heaviest anger, and the bluest sadness.
* When they leave... And (to date) they always do... The world is over. It's like the cornerstone of my identity has been confiscated from me.
* I can't imagine life without them. All my thoughts of the future involve them playing **the** central role.

What about y'all? What do you think?
