Dear Cyd:

My thoughts about your post:

It may be that it is not that you attract these people, but that there are so many, many… many people who are troubled (as I have been), so many, many.. people who are so busy with their own distress that they do not have the “space” to see you (as I have been), to empathize with you… and there are so many, many people who feel so much shame that they are unable to look inside themselves for doing anything wrong (because that would mean ALL of them is wrong) that to relieve their anxiety they are in the habit of pointing to others as the guilty ones, so to avoid looking at themselves.

So many people like that.. that these are the people you are going to come across in your life, in anyone’s life.
