Anyone else find this to be true?

No.

I don't allow myself to be treated poorly, yet still come into contact with many assholes both professionally and personally. I don't allow those people access to my time or attention or to upset me like they used to. Sadly, I haven't been "attracting" good people. That has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the state of things in the world.

The power of attraction idea is dangerous new age woo that inevitably leads to self blame when you have negative experiences that are beyond your control. There are a lot of shitty people out there.

Most definitely! :) my last ex added so much value to my life for several months. Even though it was bad at the end, he impacted my life in a very positive way. Now my standards are even higher!

Sounds like woo-y magical, just-world thinking to me. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve definitely found this to be true! It’s because I stopped accepting shitty behavior from people when I would have accepted it before. Then as I work on things, I become more and more aware and my standards get higher and higher. It’s a virtuous cycle that feeds on itself.
