The people we attract

Hello. I seem to attract a certain type of people! The clingy school mum who wants me to arrange her life, the colleague people don't like because she moans alot, men who want a mother! Do these people try it on with everyone or do they look for certain people?
I'm in my 30s so a bit better now at avoiding these types but sometimes you don't know until they start!

Haha! Aww - keep your shields up! Those people are very draining.

It's a you problem. Put more boundaries in place, times you don't answer the phone or messages to certain people, men who need mothering get kicked to the kerb, clingy mums request for the 3rd playdate this week declined, and you'll stop attracting them.

Yeah I have got better. The clingy school mum has died off since I ignored texts. Got stricter with crap colleagues etc. Some people are either oblivious or CF

Surely when they start, you just say ‘Not interested, thanks’?
