What is the reason why a person keeps getting into relationships with negative people?

Question

and chases people who wont love them back?

Answer 1

It's because the person is negative and they attract other people who are also negative. This happens particularly if you go for treatment at a psychiatric hospital with a group of other people, some of which are negative.

The only way to resolve the problem is to move right out of the group where negative people are and find a group of friends who are all positive. Their positivity will soon pass to you.

Only mix with positive people.

Answer 2

I did this for a while, and now I'm paying for it.  I did it because I didn't want a real, committed relationship.  I was bored and going along with the culture, getting a boyfriend, etc.  I was being lazy.

For me it was never about self esteem, I have always had a healthy one.  I never took the negative relationships seriously, I played and I believed I was in control.  But of course they affect you and now I am having to deal with these negative people being around.

The chasing unavailable people is avoiding commitment.  Getting involved with negative people could also be this, as, like I said, I didn't take them seriously, there was never any danger of me wanting to commit and love them.  I never would love them, so they couldn't hurt me.  Therefore no commitment.

Answer 3

I think were all drawn to certain types of people without realising...

....sometimes we know something is no good for us, or out of our reach and it makes us want it more....

Plus sometimes i think negative people seem attractive because we feel like we can help them become positive....and most of the time we can't x*x

Answer 7

Many people would say that people seek what they "think" they deserve. It also may be the image they're chasing of those types of people or a false belief that one can change someone.

Answer 8

maybe you are usually exposed to negative people. the more you are expose the more they can have you. over drive by emotions. you know the person is bad then why did you get on with that person? because of your emotions. your personality. maybe you have a personality that fits in the environment of negative people.
