What makes some people able to get along with just about anyone? And other people can't?

What makes women attracted to certain types of men, and vice versa?

Discuss. I'm curious what others have to say on this.
What if just about every single problem you've ever had in life came because of others? You can be kind, giving, etc., but get drama, problems, and situations because of people.

I would say you are either Jesus or not very self aware…

Psalms 119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

No way whatsoever on the former ;)

Perhaps the latter.

But truly, I try to leave people alone or simply bless them. The imposing, demands, and harassment comes from people.

In my experience there are some truly toxic people out there. Best one can do is pray for them. Trying to get people to see the error of their ways just puts fuel on the fire.

At least that has been my experience.
