The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

NOTE

Attraction is Projected Fantasy

Attraction largely hinges on the fantasies individuals project onto one another, often based solely on external appearances. When meeting someone for the first time, one typically lacks comprehensive knowledge about them, filling in the unknown with idealized traits. This projection leads to attraction, but can be disrupted if one speaks excessively in an attempt to showcase their worth. This behavior often reveals personal flaws or mundane realities, contrasting sharply with the fantasy the other person holds. Therefore, it is crucial to navigate these early interactions with care, recognizing that the initial attraction stems from hopes and projections, rather than genuine acquaintance.
