Understanding
the many levels of attractions can be complex, difficult, and unexplainable.
Each attraction creates many feelings, and emotions, and can be tough to
comprehend. However, the more you understand the types of attractions; The more
you can have self-awareness. As well as how to manage your emotions, feelings,
and your nervousness. First, begin by identifying the type of attraction that
you have for that person.
Attractions
can be physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual. However, there can be
an attraction based on someone’s appearance. Being attracted by someone’s
physical appearance such as their body shape, height, eye color, hair, and
beauty is called Aesthetic attraction. This type of attraction causes
admiration and can make you feel self-confident at an elevated intensity. Here
is a list of other attractions.
- Romantic attraction- an ardent
desire to be in contact with someone, sharing mutual emotions, and sharing
each other's thoughts. Spending time with someone and getting to know them
romantically.
- Emotional attraction- a desire to
share and have conversations with them because of mutual feelings.
- Physical attraction- a desire to
be in contact with someone through touch, hugging, holding hands, and
admiring one's physical features. It may lead to sexual attraction but not
in all circumstances. It can lead to sensual touch but without sexual
contact.
- Sexual attraction- a powerful
desire to be sexually intimate with someone, it can lead to lust but not
in all circumstances.
- Intellectual attraction-the
desire to share information and to learn current information, to gain new
knowledge, and to understand one's thoughts and one's wisdom.
- Protective attraction- the desire
to defend and to make sure someone is safe. Taking care of someone for
them feel comfortable and for their well-being.
- Social attraction- the desire to
be with someone because of their cheerful outlook, personality, and making
you feel comfortable.
- Task attraction- the desire to
work with someone and appreciate their talents.
It can
be confusing to know which type of attraction you might have for someone
because sometimes it can be a combination of various attractions. Yet,
attractions do take time especially if only one person is attracted to them
romantically. Often one person might be in denial, afraid, and might panic to
move further with what they feel when they are attracted to someone. Other times, having doubts and
being less confident might make you feel less desirable to someone.
Nonetheless, working on one's self-awareness and letting go of fear, doubts,
and hesitation.
Another
tip is not having expectations. Do not believe that you are a failure or
undesirable. Believe that you can be desirable and self-confident; Even if the
attraction only leads to a friendship, do not give up. One must practice
self-acceptance, self-respect, and self-trust. Moreover, having healthy
relationships, healthy friendships, and healthy connections in a social aspect
can help your emotional wellness.
There
are no instructions for managing an attraction. Attractions occur unexpectedly
and can vary in intensity. Nevertheless, understanding the diverse types of
attractions can bring good experiences making you get to know yourself more. As
well as getting to know someone respectfully and communicating with them. Keep
in mind some attractions can leave you feeling hurt, especially when the
attraction ends.
Once you
have identified the attraction, you can decide if it is a healthy relationship
for you. Some attractions can be unhealthy due to obsessions, lust, and losing
respect for one another. Furthermore, it can help you make better choices when
you are in a relationship with someone. Create your boundaries and know your
self-worth. Last, some attractions are unavoidable.
Also,
attractions can change over time or can be filled with so much passion. One
must allow oneself to be vulnerable and open to possibilities to find the love one desires to have in a relationship. Do not be afraid if you are attracted to
someone because they are similar in appearance to your past love relationship.
Each new attraction leads to opportunities and transforms you. Here are
