What Causes Good People to Be Drawn to Bad People?
Why are good people drawn to bad people? Why do individuals with positive energy find themselves attracted to those with darker energies? It’s a question that has intrigued many, including myself, during my tenure as a coach over the past decade.
I’ve repeatedly heard from my clients about the tendency for good people to gravitate towards those with less savoury characteristics. Yet, is this notion rooted in truth? While there’s a lack of concrete scientific evidence to support or refute this claim, dismissing it outright would be premature.
Understanding why good people are attracted to bad people is quite complicated. It’s not just one thing, but a combination of factors like our perceptions and thoughts, group behaviour, environmental and social awareness, and our identities.
By exploring these ideas, we can begin to understand why this occurs. It’s about how our brains, social connections, and bodies interact to shape our behaviours. By exploring these ideas, we gain insight into why good individuals might be attracted to not-so-good ones. Through this understanding, we can work towards making better choices and forming healthier relationships. So by digging into these ideas, we can start to figure out why this happens. Below is a list of certain key factors that might contribute to this phenomenon:
1
Opposites Attract:
2
Supressed Characteristics/Attributes:
If an individual is raised or trained, by parents, family, or the sciety, in a way to not be in certain ways, she/he might supress what they like to do. As a result, once these characteristics are found in another individual, they might be drown to these people without realizing why.

Psychological Needs:

Lack of Social Awareness:
5
Emotional Vulnerability:
Emotional vulnerability can make good people susceptible to manipulation or exploitation by bad people. Individuals experiencing loneliness, low self-esteem or self-confidence, or past trauma may seek validation or acceptance from others, even if those individuals exhibit negative traits. Bad people may exploit this vulnerability, using charm or manipulation to gain control over their victims. Bad people are usually experts in manipulating others. They give good people with vulnerabilities some validation, and sometimes excessive validation. Once that relationship and dependancy is established, they start manipulating by giving good people feelings of inferiority, worthlessness, and insecurity.
6
Social Influence:
Social circles play a significant role in shaping individuals’ perceptions and behaviors. Good people may become attracted to bad people through social networks or peer pressure. If bad behavior is normalized or glamorized within a social group, good individuals may be influenced to adopt similar attitudes or values. Additionally, social dynamics, such as admiration for a charismatic leader or desire for acceptance within a group, can contribute to attraction toward bad individuals.
