This is so true and can be seen two ways. Some people only see the negative, like the attracted one is using the person they are attracted to. And that CAN happen, like in a dependency way.
But it can be very positive. People who have been through a thing can help people going through that same thing in a way others may not be able to. This is why many counselors have been through trauma themselves…and went into that to help others.
The people who have been most helpful to me after losing close family members are those who went through it themselves and healed, or are healing in a healthy way.
It is important to note the difference in yourself and in those you attract.
A user will take and not give back. A true friend shares both ways and it is always about what is given, not what you take.
