Hi
I just wondered what other people think about the like attracts like theroy. Your hear a fair bit about if you see something in another person that you don't like that you should see that as a warning to tell yourself that those traits are in yourself & thats how come you recognise them in others....the feeling seems to be that you only see it & recognise it because it's something within yourself....the other person is acting as a mirror which is forcing you to take a look at yourself...another thing to pull yourself up over...1 for being judmental 2 for having those 'bab' traits within yourself
Personally that doesn't feel right to me & I don't live by that thought. When it comes to seeing ourselves in others...the Mirror theory, I have another thought on it, & t was kind of confirmed to me the other day.
We all go through changes in life, whether is a confidence crisis, lonliness, depression, guilt, over confidnence ect & more often then not we come through them being wiser or stronger for our experience...I think that when we see another person who's struggeling with something that we too have delt with in our past then we recognise it...it makes us look at ourselves & know what we've overcome & notice our lessons learnt & our acheivements, also we can offer support & help if that person seems to be reaching out for it. For instance, I had post natal depression after my second baby & now when I meet someone who's had a baby I can tell insinctively that they are haveing problems like I did 8 years ago
What are you thoughts & beliefs on "Like Attracts Like"???

RE: Thoughts on Like attracts Like
Life itself bring experience knowledge and wizdom. However the like attracts like throry...
Well if you are heavy, dispondent and negative, as well as have no confidence in yourself. We are then blind to those aspects that are serving us in no good stead at all. I myself have been like this, until I began to walk my path once again, I was them able to see who and what situations were effectingme in a negative way.
Cutting away from those who do not appreciate you for who you are and not what you are, Also cuttign back from areas which suppress you into feeling dispondent.
Surly you have been in these kind of environments.

Hi Ithar, you seemed to missed the point I was making....I mustn't of explained myself very well...sorry!!
The point I'm trying to make...or rather...I'm interested in other views of like attracts like....i.e. I see someone I don't like but some will tell me 'Like attracts like'...& what I see in them is within me which is why I see it...the person is suposed to be mirroring me ....is that right??
Love

RE: Thoughts on Like attracts Like
I've heard of this concept. Not sure really. I mean if I meet someone who likes tagging bus stops and robbing old ladies...
RE: Thoughts on Like attracts Like
yep
what we see in others that we do no tlike is a mirror reflection of ourselves and of something we have within us that needs looking into.
Not that the attribute you see in the person is mirroring your own, u need to look at what makes u uncomfortabl,
