Am I the only person who thinks the choices are unrelated to the question?

To answer the question, I think the belief that we attract those who are similar to us, or recent variation of law of attraction in fact, is self-created comforting attempt to make sense of chaos. Admitting our very small ability to twist and bend the environment according to our will can be scary. We humans like being in control.

So basically this is about being on a social site.

Some times we tend to attract / deter people based on what we post at the point of posting.

It could go eitherway.

Obviously there is more to a person than their posts.

@scorpiolovedeep In a place where too many are pè d ,ooooooos, it is better not to attract that many people.

It is also better not to equate any of it to your own person.

Maybe in less anonymous space.

Absolutely not. Back when I was an open book and happily welcomed connection from any source available because I loved love that much, I mainly attracted those who knew exactly what to look for in an easy prey and used my kindness against me…especially here where ulterior motives are too common.

I don't think anyone here is all of what they truly are. We are all selective in what we show.
Some even try be what they are not, or what they imagine they want to be.

As to what we attract, well that's a kind of equation we cant control all the variables of:
- part of that equation is us
- past of that is mood
- part of that equation is trolls
- part of that equation is illusionists
- and part is genuine people

... it's a mixed bag🤷‍♀

No, because I make a lot of great connections, lol. But then, the bad connections I’ve made does outweigh the good, so maybe so.

And that is what I do not understand , why think / focus on bad connections where as we can grateful.for the good ones? @Ducky

Ducky · 31-35, F

@scorpiolovedeep Sometimes bad connections look to be good, even great connections, until they suddenly aren’t anymore at the last moment when you’re on the receiving end of being shown your friendship isn’t real and never was.

True..... understandable.

Not anymore. I stay away from everybody for now on. The world is really too stress right now.

No i think that's nonsense, people are attracted to whatever they like no matter how much it is or isn't like them .. i think that concept only applies to world views..

KingofBones1 · 46-50, M

No.
Unfortunately, I have a habit of getting mostly the opposite.I am as real and as solid as they come, but I am thrown nothing but fakes, scamps.Or temporaries

Iwillwait · M

Not sure I attract anyone.
