Exploring the Psychology Behind Attracting People
8 PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTS ABOUT ATTRACTING PEOPLE If you are attractive, people of your gender will judge you harshly. Men are instantly attracted to beautiful eyes. Mostly men prefer girl without makeup or with light make-up. When you make others laugh, you appear more attractive to them. Most people find narcissists more attractive than other people. The saying "you can't love someone else until you love yourself" and narcissists fit into this very profile. When you cut someone off from your life, they'll never tell the full story. They'll only tell you the part that makes you look bad and makes them look innocent. If you want to catch someone’s attention; suddenly look at them, ( even if you don’t move your head at all ) will tend to do the trick. Humans are biologically wired to become attached to what's familiar. Which is why we hold onto things even if they are bad for us.

We are sick with anxiety
We are plagued with anxiety because we don't know what is expected of us. We are all essentially born into the same paradigm. You're born, raised at home, taught things, go to school, study, pursue a career, seek a partner, get married, start a family, leave a legacy, and if you're very fortunate, buy a house before you die. That's the cycle, the rat race we're all supposed to live. But there's a significant problem here. It's increasingly difficult to meet the predetermined life expectations. It's becoming less feasible, harder to find a stable partner, own a home, or aspire to have assets and establish the nuclear family life that was promised at birth. So what do you do now? One of my favorite authors, Lacan, defines anxiety as not knowing what is expected of us.
