The Math Behind Toxic Relationships (-5 vs +5)
You aren't "unlucky" in love—you are following a mathematical pattern. 🧮 In this video, I break down Ross Rosenberg’s Human Magnet Syndrome and the concept of Limbic Resonance. If you struggle with Self-Love Deficit Disorder (codependency), you are likely a "-5" on the emotional scale. You don't attract healthy partners; you inevitably attract "+5" narcissists because the math equals zero. It feels like a soulmate connection, but it’s actually a trauma bond. The "spark" you are looking for? That’s just anxiety. And if you found a healthy, stable partner, you’d probably be bored out of your mind because your nervous system is wired for war. I know because I've been there. Peace feels boring when you're addicted to chaos. 👇 Discussion: Be honest: Have you ever broken up with a nice person because there was "no spark"? Let's talk about it.
