I'm genuinely curious as to how you managed that. Did you just become more vulnerable and open to others about your emotions? I can't help but feel like that would attract narcissists as well who would use that to their advantage.
I used to attract people that would either abuse/manipulate me and chase after people that had little interest in me. (i have a disorganized attachment style.) But recently I've found myself attracting really good people. I think what helped the most was setting boundaries and knowing my worth. Be confident in yourself!
This is so on point. I tend to befriend people who are emotionally needy, as I always like to be of service.

Same but Im slowly getting out of it and I met people who age very similiar to me so we can create a balance because I know I can also share with them just like they can share with me.
This makes a lot of sense. I noticed a relationship pattern of attracting narcissistic men. Or men who were manipulative so I stopped dating to heal an figure out why. I realized I lacked having firm boundaries. Once I started to establish and stick to them. It became repellent. It honestly felt odd for me at first, but I took an HR approach to it. Being direct and tactfu. Some tried to push my boundaries, but when I stood my ground, they scattered like roaches in daylight.

Hey, just need to say thanks,your comment was like my heart being spoken out loud . Boundaries are non existent in my world and I know that's where my issues are rooted. Wegotdis
I have all of them somehow, #3 being my current partner.. sadly a lot of other people I know tend to fall into all of these other categories and it's made me a lot more jaded and unwell since I haven't taken a break between my day job and constantly trying to help other people, ofc a few of my close friends are genuinely very loving and supportive of me Tldr, even if you want to help others it's always best to take time to yourself once in a while to heal, even if it means saying no sometimes. Sorry for my yappathon, and thank you for reading this far lol, great video as always^^
Each category describes me. I have a hard time saying no, which I tend to people please others and prioritize their needs above my own. I want to be in a relationship, but at the same time.. I don’t think I’ll ever be in a committed relationship, unless I truly heal from all of the pain, trauma, and hurt that I’ve endured in my childhood, adolescent years, and young adulthood on the verge to adulthood.

We hope this video resonated. Did you relate to any of these points?
DAMN. Omg, seriously, my instincts literally brought me to watch this video. I was curious if I was going to fit into any of the topics, and for my surprise... I PERFECTLY FIT IN THE FIRST ONE. Fr, it feels like all the friends I get end up throwing their dramas on me (except for my best friend, who almost doesn't talk about his problems with me, ironically. I actually wish he'd open up to me more. But he's an exception.), it's almost like that's a rule for being my friend!!! All of them open up to me, tell me about their problems... Okay, it's not like that's totally a bad thing. I like to help my friends and make them feel safe, and even give 'em advice! Seriously, I love to help! But sometimes, it's just too much for me... Sometimes, people even seem to forget that I have my own issues as well. And just to be clear, not all times they do that for selfishness. It's just that it looks like they've already stablished me as their "confort person". On the one hand I feel awesome for having such a role, but on the other it's exhausting for me, since sometimes it feels like they want to talk about their emotional dramas 24/7, and I don't even have the time to deal with my own dramas. That happens exactly because of my behavior towards friends (and even people that I'm still getting to know), just like it's said in the video. Let's say I'm a very... Conforting (?) person. Not like "mother-friend personality", no, I'm far away from that. Actually, I'm very playful, I make a lot of jokes (but never jokes about people, I just play with things that don't cause disconfort), I always do my best to bring a relaxed and casual energy to the conversation, so the person doesn't have to feel intimidated or shy (I even connected with a lot of shy people, thanks to that). I can say that I have kind of a "talent" in making people confortable with me, in general. This capability of mine came probably because I was bullied a lot in my childhood and first teen years (in different ways, depending of the period). So I do know PRETTY DAMN WELL how it sucks to feel unconfortable around people, and constantly intimidated and unsafe. Plus, I lived a lot of this without having the courage to open up about it with anyone. That's why I have such ease at bringing safety to people. It's a thing I'm really proud about me, actually. But it caused me some trouble with some toxic friends (not all of them though, but some. Even my non-toxic friends have this tendency of opening up a lot with me). I had specially a terrible one, a girl of my age who would always talk about her dramas like it's the end of the world (spoiler: it wasn't), over-criticizing her parents (they were toxic, but she exaggerated a lot), and having a lot of questionable attitudes in her relationships, but always trying to make it looks like the guys were the ones to blame in the situations (spoiler: it was never the guys's fault. She is the toxic one). I tried to give her advice, help her at improving her relationships (At start, I took it easy with her, always tried to understand her side... But after some time, I was a bit more direct about her wrong behaviors). Problem is: She didn't give an f about MY problems, when I tried to open up. She was basically a narcissist, or at least got some PRETTY STRONG narcissistic traits. Thank God I got rid of this friendship. Anyways, sorry for the big comment, but I really needed to open up, and this video helped me a lot in seeing patterns in my relationships. Loved it as always! I really love this channel

I pull in self centered people. I am empathetic and engaged in their lives. Those started with my parents, and I’ve been this way since toddlerhood. I’ve learned, starting with dad then mom, to prioritize myself when I need to. All these close people have flipped out when I do that - so I’ve lost my parents, husband, my best friend, and now my son is heading that way. I would really like to have a partner who cares about me and want to help me. Some of my self centered friends are like that - and I truly appreciate them.
If you help someone in trouble, they will remember you when they are in trouble again
Most of my friends that I get close too tell a lot of their problems to me and i still remember each and every one of their problems.

Rescuer syndrome is my situation. I was pushed into this role and am kept in this role due to poverty. I do not intend to help others once I get out of this. I spent most of my life helping people and it left me worse off. All my future relationships must be mutually benefical and not dependent on me giving.

Love this type of video, with your voice, and the cute little characters. Good quality video! Really enjoyed it and very helpful! I have an avoidant attachment style and my ex had an anxious attachment style, and I only just learned that those two apparently attract each other, but, well, DONT typically work out, as I learned the hard way.
I think I WAS the superhero type but I feel like I am not one anymore. What bothers me is 'why I am not like that now?' No one betrayed me. I didn't feel like others seeing me as a pushover. The only thing happened was I ended my school years and entered to university. My new friends are also good and supportive, but I feel a distance between me and they. And I feel that they can be judgmental (so do I). So I only want to be a superhero for only my old friends. That thought make me feel guilty but I can't help it. I think I will talk about this matter with a friend who listen to my drama.
For me it's nerdy and specific people, and that's okay! 😊

Hmm, can we say no. 1 (emotionally troubled drama queens) and no. 2 (people in need of saving) can also fall under no. 5 (manipulators, controllers and abusers)?
number 4 is my partner and i 💀 and i wish i could do more to make it better, to her credit she is aware of this dynamic and knows it’s not good, and we’re working on it but i just can’t help feeling insecure on this sometimes still
I’ve known all kinds of people in my life with hardly a notable pattern. This is gonna be a tough job to narrow down.

I'd say I attract a bit of all these kinds except the abusers one- depending on which circle I'm in- my university, my home, or my online friends who essentially make up my most intimate group of friends online and irl altogether. It's the persona you put on subconsciously, or rather the side of you that comes out automatically depending on the type of group of people.

I am a caring person. I offer a shoulder to cry on but the people who need it shy away from me. I see a person who's fallen and I lend a helping hand and that person yells "Go away! Leave me alone!" I hear someone run towards me while another yells "Stop him. I turn and see the man running and I put my foot out and trip him and I get yelled at by bystanders "You shouldn't do that! You could get arrested for assault!" and cops would say "Don't interfere! We'll handle this! Stay there! I need to talk to you! "GULP" The way they say that makes me feel like I'm the one in trouble.

I get the drama queens! It’s a bloody nightmare. They seem phenomenal fun at first then it spirals out of control. Constant texts, ringing me up, whinging on and on. I set boundaries but they don’t care. Just told my best friend of 8+ years to kick rocks. I am not attached to my phone, I can barely find it most of the time 😂. The friendship was on its last leg but what did it for me was her coming into my husband’s hospital room angry with me for not answering my phone or texts for the day! He had suffered two TIA’s! I was a bit preoccupied and concerned. She was very controlling as well. No thank you. I’ve a life to live and I only do positivity. I’m done with this “friend” rubbish. I’ll stick to close acquaintances who are positive and will go the cinema with me, thanks every so much. At 53, I’m just fine with a good book or telly programme! And my brilliant hubby!
