Curious if anyone else here gravitates towards other cluster b personalities? In particular I seem to go towards NPD and AsPD personalities. Of course it's an absolutely terrible idea, in my experience. Yet I keep finding them and learning the same lessons over and over. Lol.

I can’t say that I do I typically gravitate towards introverts and people who are overly nice. I think it’s more common to gravitate towards NPDs and ASPD but that is just what I’ve read. Also I know a woman in my BPD group stated she often finds herself with NPD types but the others in the group didn’t feel that way.

I've been clingy towards very different people and don't really have a specific type I keep going back to. I gravitate towards pretty much anyone who is nice to me that I feel like I can trust in the slightest (sounds like it would be a lot of people, but it isn't because I don't trust easily). They don't have to be overly nice, heck sometimes they can be downright mean, as long as I feel like they intend to be nice/helpful... If that makes any sense at all.
There are certain types of people I tend to avoid in general even if they seem nice, but I will avoid posting that here because I don't want to offend anyone. It is interesting though, because my current "favorite person" is someone I would have thrown onto the "do not friend" list and he has turned out to be an amazing friend despite the hardships. __________________

Most of my life I was grateful for any guy that would give me a scrap of attention, no matter what they had. I'm sure a couple of them had cluster B traits but most of them were pretty neurotypical.

Maybe I am just special in this regard. Thanks for answering though.

I see a horrible pattern in my life of drawing NPD to me. I have been with a total of 3, and in what I considered long term relationships with them. Each of them broke my heart so badly. I believed the last one was different, but slowly, ever slowly, the turned out to be another NPD. I'd do anything to break that cycle and attract a man who is not a Cluster B. That doesn't seem to be possible, though. I can be attracted to other men, but the only ones who want anything to do with me are the Cluster B's. |

I think other cluster b's gravitate towards me because I am an easy target or I was anyways. I like to think I've left it behind me.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
