Wounded and toxic men.
Something pushes them to you, doesn't it? And this is not a mere coincidence.
What could be the reasons why you are attracted to toxic men? Here are some options!
1. You have low self-esteem
They notice right away that you don't really love each other, and because of that, they don't feel the need to love you either. It's easy to fall prey to someone and go with them in their toxic cycle if you don't value yourself the way you should. Toxic men fear women with high self-esteem because they know they have really high standards for men, so they're attracted to insecure women.
2. You are too good
Poisonous men will take advantage of this. They know you're not the type to complain or show them what they deserve. You're too nice, too nice and too understanding, it's your way of telling him that he can continue to behave however he wants - and he will.
3. You are too compassionate
People say opposites attract. It sounds romantic to some extent, but in this case it is simply impossible. A toxic man will find his perfect "victim" in a compassionate woman because she will patiently listen to all his problems. If you have an empathic soul, you will feel sorry for him and want to help him. Most of such men lie and act like they are professional actors just to get a little sympathy and take advantage of the situation as they wish.
4. You are a person who wants to "fix" others
You have romantic images in your head about how love can move mountains and change everything. You believe that your love and help can actually have a positive effect on him, and that he will eventually change. But guess what - that will never happen! Damaged and toxic men have problems that need to be dealt with by professionals, not their women.
5. You are disappointed in love
Maybe you've been hurt too much. And it's true, it's not easy to heal a broken heart. Toxic men smell these things, they are attracted to you because they know it will be easier to take advantage of someone whose view of love is currently skewed. You fall for them because they are cunning and they know they can win you over because you are so fragile.
6. You don't set boundaries
You are not strong enough to set boundaries from the start. Maybe it's because you don't want to hurt his feelings and/or because you're a conflict avoider. Your insecurities make you vulnerable. When dealing with toxic men, you need to know when enough is enough and fight for yourself.
7. They see you as their opportunity for change
Some women are attracted to toxic men because they see in them someone they can change, help them be different. Men sometimes realize that they need to change their toxic habits and therefore choose women with a healthy lifestyle. But unfortunately, it's not as easy as it sounds, because toxic men tend to return to their bad behavior.
