The Science Behind Damaged People's Attraction to Each Other
Originally Published 2 years ago — by YourTango
Research suggests that damaged people tend to bond with other damaged people due to shared experiences, corresponding perspectives, and mutual acceptance. Female friendships, in particular, can help alleviate stress and promote healing. These friendships provide grounding, understanding, and a non-judgmental space. Having a friend who has been through similar experiences creates a strong bond and fosters empathy. Friendship becomes a priority in navigating the challenges of life and offers support in recovering and healing from past mistakes.
