I'm attracted to almost everyone, seriously.

So, I've been doing some self-assessing lately, and I've come to realize that I become attracted to almost anyone.
It's like, I find the good trait in everyone, and that's the only thing I see?
It gets really frustrating because I can't hold relationships because I'd be prone to cheating (I think). So, I'm kind of wondering: Is it normal?

"I've got my morals but I'm out of control,
I fall in love with everyone in the world."
P.S. Don't just tell me that I should see someone about this.

    I don't think that you're viewing it the right way. I don't honestly think you literally "fall in love with everyone". Perhaps you just have a very open mind and are able to understand a lot of people others can't. People tend to only look at the negative things of a person instead of the positive things.

    "I find the good trait in everyone, and that's the only thing I see" Yes, its' normal to notice the good personality qualities someone has. You basically answered your own question.

    • No, I know I don't fall in love with the world, that's just a poetic sentence...
      I answered my question, but I don't understand it, fully. I get that I focus on the good stuff, but why? I despise people if I don't become attracted to them, or people that I shouldn't be (e.g. family members) so there's never really a gray area...I think I hate people deep down, but can't help my cursed hormones! Aghhh

        J/k. Your self-description is like that of a stereotypical French person, which i don't think is bad. Sometimes i wonder if that's how we were meant to live, free to love whomever. If you decide to be in a relationship, just tell your potential partner how you feel upfront so they know whether our not they can handle you.

        • Well, my current partner is usually quite jealous, so I keep everything to myself. He's a little oblivious, so if someone is looking at me and I look at them, my partner is off in his own world. It's a little sad.
          I wish I was French, btw. I think France is sexy. Lol.

            A jealous boyfriend is probably not your type. But he doesn't sounds too jealous if he doesn't notice guys looking at you and you looking back, or maybe he just doesn't want to deal with it.

            • He's jealous when we're alone and I'm, let's say, texting someone. He automatically thinks it's a guy (most of the time it is) and gets irritated. Any time I say I'm going somewhere, I tell him a few days or even weeks prior and he goes "WITH WHO!?" like a crazy nut!
              We were so in sync before and now that I'm actually going out without him, he's getting weird. BUT I CAN'T LET GO OF HIM and that's what pisses me off the most about our relationship. Obviously, I shouldn't be with him, but like I said in another reply to someone on here: I can't help my attraction towards him. It's ridiculously stupid. I don't even know WHY I like him this much if he treats me like a friend.

    hi
    firstly i would like to thank you for posting this ,coz it takes courage and then would also like to tell that you should no expect too much good feedback on this issue due to mainly 1 reason - not many people can and will be able to understand your situation except a few that are in it. i understand everything you are going through and can add more of the things you left out. but as for me after doing a full analysis of myself i figured that some of us are born this way but to many of us its got everything to do with how you grew up. i have trust issues which are the biggest source on my side. i can be able to see good in most people and get attracted to them mainly to their confidence and ability to challenge my intelligence. i get easily turned on by women who are open minded and quick thinking as well as unexposed body figures that keep me guessing. ive tried to ask for advice from many people but it doesnt help because this is connected to your heart structure and mindset . stopping this is not the biggest problem you will face but knowing weather you want to or not. the thing is we are able to see holes in peoples lives that need filling and because our hearts are filled with need to make others happy we end up trying to fill those holes ourselves.leading to cheating and hurting the ones who truly deserve us.trust- we never truly believe that anything that comes our way can be fully trusted with our hearts coz we have seen a lot people taking advantage of our kind. the more we try to be normal is the the less we become safe. in my case i wish i had never gotten married not because i dont love the person im with but because i never knew i was like this before it was too late .and because the person you are with might never be able to admit that the same thing that attracted them to you is the same reason for their insecurities and unhappiness. i know you truly love your boyfriend but he might never be able to get anything about you and you on the other hand might never be able to trust him with telling him how you are. but as long as it stays like this you and i will be bad and good people we are. would you risk you future with your man for something like this or would you choose to be with him and still feel bad for almost everything that you do . there dont seem to be much help for people like us

    I feel the same way. I cant believe someone else acknowledges this. People are sexy! There is always something to be attracted to. I have had many relationships and tend to fall in love very easily as well, but I think the fact that I am not picky looks wise makes my choice in men more sensible. I have dated a lot of great guys.

    I haven't read all the comments but for what I've seen, no one's really getting it, right? So you meet someone and you automatically start going through every piece of skin with your eyes, listen to what they say and really pay attention to find out whether you would like to sleep with them or not. And then when you do, does it all go away?

    Like, can you literally feel strongly attracted to more than 10 people per day?

    I'm quite worried about this in me, I think there has to be a kind of procedure to learn how to control it. I guess and hope ha.

    I have the same thing. I can and do find attractive things about everyone I meet. Then I start to daydream etc etc.... I think I'm weird because of it. My mates will bag me out because ill say stuff like " shay's not bad I could see myself with her" they'll be like Wtf dude.... She's ugly like a pigdog. To me looks dont have a lot to do with my attractions.
    Told you I was weird!

        Meaning some day you might become attracted to a guy that hasn't had sex in over 10 years and is so desperate for sex that he will force you to have sex with him or in other words rape you.HARD. But yea either that or you might end up becoming attracted to a person that seems normal but is actually a sex offender/rapist or a criminal

    If you're a teenager, you might just be influenced by all the hormones.

    If you are not a teenager, then... hm... then I wouldn't know what to do about it. If you feel like it's hindering you from leading a fulfilling life, you should see someone about this. I know you didn't want that answer, but that's all I've got. Sorry.

        Well, I saw an interesting video about love at first sight earlier. It's only two minutes. I think this guy has an interesting view about it, so... maybe it helps you put things in perspective.

            Hm, well... maybe I get what you're saying. It's easier to get attracted to people you only know a little since you don't know much about their negative traits.

            Are you sure you're not just horny? There's nothing wrong with that. It's normal that you find a lot of people attractive.

            And like you say, if you don't act on it, I can't see why it should jeopardize any relationships.

            • i AM always horny, but the attraction i have towards everyone isn't like an "OMG I WANT TO FUCK THEM" kind of thing. it's just that i'm compelled to flirt with everyone. it's kind of stupid, i have no intentions of going to bed with them, but i'm just so flirtacious, and everyone has charm. maybe i'm just easily impressed (though i don't find people impressive, just attractive). i just don't know.
              i've acted on it once while i was in a relationship. the guy i was with wasn't very great, and i was almost scared to have sex with him, so i got it somewhere else. i feel bad, but at the same time, i'm pretty sure he cheated on me, too. oh, what an ass.
              although, because i'm flirtacious, i feel that i'd leave who i'm with because i miss being free and flirting with others. i have poor control. :(

    I'm the same way. I can see somebody walking down the street and go "Look at your weird, knobbly knees… I'm kind of into it" or whatever. I don't think it's anything to worry about. I don't know if it's normal, though.

    • Yeah, it's like that. However, because I "look exotic," they tend to come up and talk to me (if they have confidence) and it turns out to be a bigger turn on and I just want to take that person and kiss them all over?? LOL fuck IDK.

  • Have you in fact cheated yet?

    If you havent then you have been able to at least hold back on your natural urges, which shows that you have discipline and self control.

    Being this way is a good quality, its far better then being a cynical person. They are NO fun.

    Besides if you are young then have some fun (within reason), plenty of time later in life to settle in and be boring.

    • I have, once. I wasn't getting what I needed. I know that's no excuse, but still. It shows I have terrible control of myself, and I want that to change, but my attraction towards people gets the better of me...
      I'm kind of stuck in a settlement with someone right now, and I want out so that I can still enjoy my youth, but at the same time, he is good for me. He keeps me grounded and mostly sober, but he feels more like a mother than a significant other...

    Seeing good things on everyone is okay but one should not let his/her guards off on the other nasty side of the world where you must learn how to play as a human. Not necessarily to sin more or to act as saint but just keep yourself aware of the reality.

  • disthing

    like.. seriously!

    It's normal to see the good in people, and probably good to focus on that. It's not normal to therefore be attracted to everyone. Usually attraction is based on more than just one positive trait.

    "I can't hold relationships because I'd be prone to cheating (I think)"
    This makes me think perhaps you haven't been in many relationships, or perhaps any? In which case your inexperience might be leading you to some incorrect conclusions. You might be mistaking attraction with affection?

    Maybe your desire to be romantically involved with someone is overtaking your ability to see people objectively, and to judge your own feelings? i.e. you want to be with someone so badly that you've stopped caring so much about who that someone is?

    • Not necessarily. I've been in 2 serious relationships, and A LOT of "playing/young" relationships. I was engaged at one point and then he turned out to be someone who he was not. The other serious relationship is failing because I feel neglected and I'm not receiving ANY attention whatsoever. I feel that he is not allowing me to be myself, but I can't help my attraction towards HIM! It's a really shitty situation, actually. Not too sure what to do about it.
      I'm romantically involved with people. I know what it's like, and I don't think I like real romance. It creeps me out, so I'm normally very detached, until this one that I'm in at the moment. I've become too attached (compared to others, it doesn't seem like that much, but for someone like me, it's a LOT) and it's the one person that won't reciprocate. I mean, in sexual terms, he won't touch me! I could be lying naked in front of him (i'm not being conceited, but I do have a nice body) and he'll totally ignore that. Emotionally, if I'm sad or upset or having one of my crying fits, he won't comfort me; he won't even hug me when I most need it.
      Aside from him, most other people pay attention to me. They shower me with affection and it's almost scary. So I dunno about it being the case where I'm wanting to be romantically involved with people...

      "I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got." I find this line (from a song) pretty acurate. YUCK.

  • You are only falling in "love" with the good you PERCEIVE in people. Once you discover they are not the ideal creature you had originally thought they were before you intimately knew them, you move on. Do I have that right? I might have misinterpreted you, let me know.

    The thing is, with love, you see those inevitable flaws and still adore the pants off them anyway. Maybe you are stuck because you don't even give them a chance once you become familiar those flaws. By the way, every single one of us has flaws, even you, so you should get used to the idea that no one person will ever live up to a fantasy. Maybe your idea of a perfect mate needs to be tuned. If you let go of some of your expectations for people, you might start enjoying them more, even in general. One day you are going to meet someone who you will love so much that you'll awknowledge but look past those few flaws because to you they will be irrelevant. That's love.
