Attraction

 


Hello Friends,

 

Have you heard these two common sayings about how people can be attracted to each other?

 1.    Opposites attracts (the human magnet effect).

 2.    Like attracts like (the not human magnet effect because like and like coming together                                                     repel each other).

 

Hmm…it seems attraction can work in different ways for people.

 

Attraction can be interpersonal or personal. Interpersonal attraction can involve having good thoughts or feelings about another person. A platonic type of reaction. While the personal ways people feel attraction can include physical, mental, emotional, or even spiritual, for example, a soul mate connection.

 

So, taking an interest in someone is not straight forward at all. That’s life!



What happens when you resist the attraction you have for another? Watch Bridgerton Season 2 for a fictional view of how that works. We see the drama play out where Viscount Anthony Bridgerton has a mental connection with Edwina Sharma caused by his sense of family duty. He convinces himself he’s found the right woman to wed and preserve the family line of aristocrats and their fortune.

Then we get spoiled by the super wonderful drama of his slow burn attraction for Kate Sharma, and hers for him. Anthony has so many different physical encounters, thoughts, and feelings for Kate. He spends most of the season burying them deep inside. Eventually, his heart speaks louder than his head. Kate also finally surrenders to the desires of her heart for him too. I couldn’t help crying during the final episode of the love story. That’s TV life!

Take care,

stay well,
♥ Ashlyn
