I can relate to the solitary prime numbers because no other number is friendly with me and weird numbers like 70 , what about you and for what reason?

Non-repeating, non-terminating decimals. They feel as if they speed up and run head long.

Odd numbers are of course my favorite.

3 in particular.

This is optional of course , but I would appreciate it if you would tell me why you relate to this number class because of x or y reason. Sorry If I didn't point that out earlier to clearly.

transcendental numbers by definition are those which are not the solution to algebraic polynomials with integer coefficients. Algebraic numbers are so... mundane.

The Fibonacci numbers and phi.

If f(n) is the nth Fibonacci number, then f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2).
If p(n) is the nth power of phi, then p(n) = p(n-1) + p(n-2).

You can use this similarity to prove weird things about the Fibonacci numbers and phi.

Two (2) is my favorite number. Why? There are too many reasons to list. Notably I like it for its symmetry. I guess my favorite class of numbers are the powers of two. However, I have a particular fondness for prime numbers as they're unique.

9s and 3s are my numbers. I group things in 3s and 9s when memorizing or listing. They just seem comfortable in many ways.

If you like numbers, you should read Daniel Tammet's book... The way he sees numbers is really interesting.

I like the softness of 2's and 5's. 8's disturb me.
