Personalities of the John

At first glance, you will immediately notice John's worrying side. It seems like he is a man in doubt and that his mind is always in alert. He often speaks with a dubious tone which makes him look like someone who doesn't really understand the subject of the conversation. In reality, John is of a reserved nature. He never gets used to the noisy and restless atmosphere. And when he feels too surrounded, he tends to lose his temper. The ideal place for John is this very private setting where you can only hear the sweetness of music. While John seems to like loneliness, he is very attached to family.
