I asked Grok AI why I always seem to attract toxic people. It totally gets how exhausting and discouraging it feels to keep encountering toxic individuals, even when you’re putting out positive energy. Apparently, this is a pretty common issue, and I’m not just imagining it. The answer broke things down in a practical, no-nonsense way, using real psychological insights. One key point: It’s not entirely my fault, but some of my choices might be attracting these people.
What do you think?

I read a book that said toxic people are toxic, and it has nothing to do with you. Whoever they encounter is going to get the toxicity. That statement helped me with a family member. I have a hard time believing you attract them. You seem pretty down to earth to draw in that kind of energy. But that’s great that they gave you an answer that might help.

@eli908640 That IS helpful, and I imagine it would help a lot of people to know it.

Hi Amber! I know, right? I imagine there are many people who deal with this. It's us empaths -- we attract them! It is ironic but true.

It's interesting to read this and also Amber's comment and your response. I doubt you attract toxic people but if you have a few strategies that you can use to maybe avoid a few of them then that would be helpful, I'm sure.
And welcome to myLot. I hope you enjoy it here.

Toxic people might be think that you are approachable and therefore they get attracted towards you.
