I think sometimes sociopaths are attracted to very empathetic and trusting people that they can take advantage of. I've seen a few marriages where the couple consisted of one kind, empathetic person and one controlling sociopath. I was in a marriage like that too. I still suffer from anxiety and depression at times from that relationship. I do think that positive people can attract negative people.
Human nature. I know this. It's unfortunate. You can't beat me for being abused paranoia though and I get a check for anxiety.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had some bad experiences in life. It's hard to overcome it. Everyday is a challenge to feel good about myself after being manipulated and used for so long. It's humiliating and painful at times.
I'm sure I haven't been abused as you may have though. I hope you can find happiness.
You are in control of you attract. If your heart goes out to help negative people, than, yes. You will attract negative people that would like help. If you would like to stay in your happy world, than no. You allow. They don't. My answer is No.

Hi Thrifymaid~ It's nice to see you :) :) Thanks for indirectly reminding me. I hadn't really answered the question. My answer is "No" as well. I went back and fixed it. Big smiles!
Not. All we have is anecdotal evidence and claims made in anger after a marriage was ended. There is a fairly clear pattern of women marrying men who are just like daddy, which all too often means domineering and physically violent, the strange thing is that no matter how battered, they tend to stay in the marriage 'because they love him'. Living in the Macho stereotype.
