Attraction can be a wonderful thing. We are naturally drawn towards people whose qualities appeal to us — their kindness, confidence, warmth, intelligence, beauty or emotional depth. Attraction creates a desire to be close to someone and to experience more of what draws us towards them. For someone who is highly empathic, compassionate and naturally nurturing, this can sometimes create vulnerability in relationships with people who are more interested in what they can receive

Most relationships begin like sunlight —warm, luminous, and full of hope. We feel Seen, Chosen and Understood. But sometimes what feels like connection is a meeting of unmet needs. The empath, searching for steadiness, is drawn to certainty. The narcissist, searching for admiration, is drawn to devotion. Each senses something in the other that appears to complete them.
