Think of a celebrity or actor that you find attractive.

– What are some good things you find attractive about them?

– What might be the bad reasons you are drawn to them?

– What are the difficult sides of people you’re oddly rather drawn to?

– Sketch a ‘type’ you find attractive.

– What are the bad reasons you find this type attractive?

– What have the consequences been in your life?

Gaining self-knowledge about the darker aspects of one’s own pattern of attraction allows us to be more strategic.

When looking for a new relationship:

Realise that emotional appeal is not necessarily.

Pick up at a much earlier stage that one might be making this mistake and recognising that it is a mistake.

In a long-standing relationship:

Accept that we shouldn’t simply blame the other person for certain annoying characteristics – such as their distance or irritability.

We can admit that this was part of what drew us to them in the first place.

It helps identify the kind of compensating maturity one needs; if you are drawn to quite critical people, you can’t always then blame them for being critical.

Accept what you chose.

Thank You!
