Being attracted to people who really annoy you

Post Reply New Topic

What's with that?

it's crazy, but true. >.<

Tbh, it would just totally put me off and it would also make me feel very uncomfortable to the point that I would just not go anywhere near them.

Unfortunately, that stuff is just too true.

Maybe they don't annoy you so much as the feeling of being attracted to someone (and thus emotionally vulnerable) annoys you, so you project that annoyance on the person -- is that possible?

There are all kinds of explanations.

Maybe your attraction is purely physical.
You see a person who looks like Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian, and persue them only to find out that they have an intellect and personality just like Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian ( vapid shallow or skanky).

Or maybe your attraction partially mental. You might be attracted people who are opposite of you in some way -and have what you lack ( your an aspie and theyre ADD- you're a nerd and theyre a bungee jumping thrill seeker) and for that very reason they end up annoyng you.

It doesn't make for stable relationships, but the sex can be amazing.

It happens to me all the time. I figure that my body has a mind of its own.

Now, if you're only attracted to people who annoy you, then there is probably a problem.

It's happened to me before. I don't know if its attraction though.. more like obsession.

I might be very slightly annoyed (more confused) that I'm attracted to someone who annoys me, but I'm primarily more annoyed just because they are annoying.

I like your new avatar. And I have never been attracted to someone annoying. If someone is annoying I just tend to think they are annoying.

I've been physically attracted to someone whose personality I found to be annoying, yes...

It can be quite a pain...my penis points in one direction...everything else in another.

I don't know if there is a proper word for it but yes you can be attracted and repulsed at the same time.

I'll give you an example. The actress Sissy Spacek.
She often plays characters who are vulnerable and sad and more than a little crazy.

Half of me wants to reach out and comfort her and the other half of me recoils in horror.

I know exactly what you mean. There was a girl I went to high school with, who I first met when we both ran for Student Council, I for reelection, her for her first outing. She gave a stupid goddamn speech dressed as a cow. It was ret*d, but you know how high schoolers would dig that kind of silly stunt, and she won, while I lost. After that, we shared a few classes together, where I discovered what an idiot she was. In history classes, she'd ask questions like: "Was the U.S. ever socialist?" and "Did Hitler have a theme song?" A true mouth breather who I didn't respect in the least.

But she was quite beautiful, and her idiocy had a strange, endearing quality (though one that grow tiresome quickly). Even today all those years later, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't leap right into bed with her if she gave me the opportunity.

My husband often annoys the s**t out of me. That's merely the surface, though. I willingly chose to deal with that aspect of his personality because when I went deeper we had a lot in common, were able to relate to each other, and he's a very good person.

In essence, despite his annoying habits, I fell for him. lol

I don't think that is what we are talking about here.

Think of a well bred man who becomes obsessed with an underage prostitute, or a well bred young woman who is obsessed with a Hell's Angel.

Equal measures of lust and disgust.

Likewise.
