I tend to attract people that have trouble expressing themselves or have an unconventional way of doing so. Those that want to be set free by social constraints and just live freely.

I'm not surprised because I'm a laid back person and many things don't bother me, I'm also very patient. I tend to also be happy when people can express themselves fully and not have to hold back. So I guess locked souls?

Mods, hippies and rockers. I also attract other aspies and people on the spectrum. I've also attracted Germans for as far back as I can remember. I remember back in my "British" days when a bunch of Germans sat at my table at an Easter dinner at my clubhouse and I couldn't understand why. Another thing that I couldn't understand was that all the British people were sitting at the table across the room. That was before I had an understanding of myself.

Generally, I seem unassuming in the eyes of others.

While sometimes it seems like I'm unable to attract anyone, I do attract some people. I tend to attract those who can actually understand me and not leave me when I do something wrong. These people have seen my positive traits and are therefore drawn to me.

I seem to attract the narcissistic, bipolar, controlling types who like to use me as an emotional punching bag.

For some reason, the most likely would be the nourishing types females, or serious in life but are expressively are troll/extrovert males. :|

The former's the reason why I get to have array of mentors to choose from. Even strangers...
The latter is annoying in some respects yet they are diverse in their own ways. Some I really dislike and are likely sardonic, and very likely annoyed by my presence or actions. Some I really like and they just want a good laugh yet they don't seem to be hiding anything. But all the same, they are generally male, are very likely stable/professional/mature enough behind those expressions, and are, definitely far from naïve -- might as well either my most proactive of protectors or worst of all predators.

If I did ended up attracting, well, 'predators'? I dunno... I seem to be 'protected' from them for some reason. In some cases, it had directly been happened -- as in, some self-appointed ally would intervene, whether I know or not. Heck, there's even a point someone explicitly told me this.

Do you notice that you attract certain types of people? I don't just mean romantically, but friendship-wise.

I seem to attract motherly types who think I am "cute" and call me pet names. I also can attract extremely negative draining people, but I don't attract those as often anymore.


I'm not negative and draining...
My mother had me tested... :wink:

For some reason, I attract passive aggressive people...
These days I keep to myself...
People are so difficult...
My pets are enough company for me...
Best time in my life these days... :wink:

I, for the most part, now attract very nice people and intelligent people who share my view of life. I chose to go to places where I attract that sort of person.

My councilor says I'm a good listener. That may be why I have attracted self-centered people who talk nonstop about themselves. I've got my radar out to avoid those now.

To be honest, I often don't mind that too much, and I'm usually very tolerant of it - it saves me from having to think of something appropriate/acceptable/interesting to say!

Old people who want to tell me how it used to be in the past;
People with mental health issues;
Nerds;
Some random normies I can't tell why.

I used to attract weirdos (as far as dating or relationships go) and wasn’t very good at noticing red flags. I don’t really attract anyone anymore (which I don’t mind).

As far as friendships go, I tend to attract people who need to talk. I’m easy to talk to and I ask the right questions to draw them out.

I’m pretty shy, so it’s hard for me to talk about myself which makes it difficult for me to make friends.

Yeah I'm kind of like this too. I've been told I'm sort of intimidating.

Thinking of people that many might have come to me first they tended to be pretty different. A couple with boundary problems, undealt with issues, and some I didn't find out anything about.

I get the impression that I have a certain charm in the minds of certain (usually older) people, whilst being seen as a freak/someone to avoid in the minds of others.
