The Psychology Behind Wanting Someone Who Doesn’t Want You
from The Journey Podcast · host Zachary Cummings, Jake Moscato, and John Scafiddi Jr.
Welcome back to The Journey Podcast! Why do we want people who don’t want us, romanticize the relationships that hurt us most, and keep dating the same person in a different body? In this episode, we break down the psychology behind modern dating, situationships, toxic relationships, emotional attachment, heartbreak, commitment, and why familiar chaos can sometimes feel more attractive than healthy love. We talk about falling in love with someone’s potential instead of who they really are, pushing away good partners, becoming addicted to toxic relationship patterns, and why peaceful love can feel uncomfortable when you’re used to emotional highs and lows. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep choosing the wrong person, why rejection makes someone more attractive, or why you can’t stop thinking about someone who hurt you, this episode is for you.Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#RelationshipPsychology #ModernDating #Relationships #DatingAdvice #Thejourneypodcast
