That's assuming you can actually be honest with yourself.

I mean

You focus on the positives you only see the positives.
Even when something negative comes into your life, you rationalize yourself into only seeing the positive things they offer.
"Oh, he smacks me around? He's so passionate! And strong! A 'real' man. I love him for his faults. He helps the orphans!"
Exaggeration for the sake of a point.

If you focus only on one thing all you do is train yourself to only be able to see that one thing and avoid seeing anything else.

I mean

Without ever thinking "how am I ever going to pay these bills" or "these bills are too much" or seeing things negatively about bills, there's less of a push to improve your financial situation, or avoid ever feeling that "how am I ever going to pay these bills" feeling again.

If you only focus on "my bills are accounted for" that doesn't guarantee your bills are always going to be accounted for.
What happens when you have an emergency. Maybe you get an infected paper cut from an envelope while paying your bills and have to have your thumb removed and you now have a huge bill.
If you've never been in the position (or avoided ever being in the position) of saying "how am I ever going to pay these bills!" then you may not know how you get out of the bill situation.

Positive and negative feelings have a purpose.
I mean

If you never spend time focusing on the losers you have been with you will never really learn how to spot losers, or learn anything from past relationships.
All you'll be able to do is spot the positive aspects of losers and the portions of them that may live up to the type of person you "want."

Then in a month, a year, a decade, you wonder "why did it fail?! Why didn't I see what kind of person they 'really' were?!?"

Other than that

IMO not really.
Like attracts like because of communication, mostly indirect and non verbal.
Not "energy."
You focus on "positive" things, you communicate a certain way, you use a certain tone, your body reacts a certain way, you use certain words.
You focus on "negative" things, you communicate a certain way, etc.

People attracted to you try to mirror your communication in order to communicate they like you.
People that aren't attracted to you try less hard to mirror communication styles.
When there is less compatibility or attempt at compatibility in communication, there is more...combativeness...in communication, more disparity, more rankling, less rapport.

People chase what makes them feel good, and run away from things that feel bad.
Similarities and mirroring in communication denote formation of a group.
People feel safe, secure, wanted, happy, and warm and fuzzy in groups.

Has nothing to do with "energy."
Only the 90% of communication that you really have no conscious control over.

sending out positive vibes for that tall, handsome, dude to come my way..

Yes, but it's actually kind of fun!
You just got to make sure you are clear about what it is you desire, then focus on feeling good so you get into alignment and are able to get what you desire. So that is indeed about your feelings. You can use thoughts to guide your feelings.
It is important to steer clear from negative vibrations / resistance concerning what you want, cos that works against receiving it. THat's where most ppl go wrong with it all, they keep sending dual messages to the Cosmos. They want something and feel very strongly about it, the next minute or day they think "Nah, I'll never get that, no one does!" which gets them away from alignment again. The next day they really desire it again.
So they go back and forth, back and forth, between feeling good and resistance.
The more you can hold on to the good feeling about something you really desire, the easier it is for it to manifest.

I find it helps to listen to Abraham Hick's seminars a lot, as that gets me into that better vibration, that feeling good.

Also stop listening to the news as much as you can, cos that's always negative and gets you away from feeling good. Plus, it has no additional value for you at all. It only brings you down, installs fear, anger and negativity.
If you must listen to it for whatever reason, don't listen to it for more than once a day and don't go for the extended versions that last forever.

I haven't listened to the radio, nor heard any news, for some two months now. And boy, has my life improved! I feel a helluva lot happier!
I only listen to music that I like in that moment (play it from my pc or on YouTube).
The quality of life increases tremendously when you stay away from media and other negative chit. And that alone helps to come closer to manifesting.

I would just like to have a real-life guy attracted to me just once who wasn't missing half the marble jar. I mean it really butchers a girls self -esteem when the only real-life guys who ever asked you out can't claim all their screws are tight! My dad says it's just cause I'm nice to them when most people wouldn't be but still!

I think when we use time trying to be nice to people who are just don't have their act together the ones that do say why do I want to waste my time on someone who is always distracted.

I'm with ya about nixing the term "law". This implies an unchanging absolute. This existence is all about change, it's what keeps things interesting. Attraction can be so much more than a primal instinct though, if there's mutual desire for more.

Don't feel like you're alone. I do this as well. Seems my thoughts and desires are over powered my actions. Maybe I'm not thinking through things well enough and my actions are not being controlled. Should I put more thought into my actions, or should I continue to be spontaneous. That's the big question, because controlling my actions doesn't really show who I am, versus who I'm trying to be.

If someone views your act of kindness acknowledging those who don't have their act together negatively, is their together act really on the same script page as yours?

Female Human

I attract weird people, man! I’m never sure whether it’s safe to actually answer these guys.

I have heard about meeting men with weird and pervert requests online. I tell myself ...No way. It will never happened to me.
I got to know a man online. Intelligent, witty and pleasant looking. I really enjoy communicating with him. After a while, he asked me to send my naked pictures to him. I blocked him.

I think one are one to many are's.

The types I attract. Men with too high of a self-esteem, comedic, outgoing, friendly, just a little too full of their own selves.

Apparently, nobody who isn't hundreds of miles away from me.

What?

I believe that the law of attraction is the work of our minds, thoughts, imaginations and words. Our mind has the power to attract things that we think about either positive or negative, whichever we try to focus on. In short, what we think is what we get.

Whatever we think, it brings signal to our brain stimulating our emotions and thus manifested in our actions could either be joy , sorrow, pain, hate, fear, anger, love, etc. If we focus our attention on positive thoughts, we then attract good vibes or positive energy because this is what your body and mind exudes. Like, if you feel animosity towards other people, tendency is they will feel that from you and in turn will also be hostile with you, but if you show affection or compassion to others, they will also give it back to you. In a relationship, if you have hatred or bitterness in your heart, this will emit negative feelings towards your partner causing friction between you. What is in your mind will always affect your thoughts and actions thus the people around you will react in the same manner you show them. Your thoughts and emotions are always visible in your actions, feelings, facial expressions, gestures or words, and people are receptive to these.

Surround yourself with positivity and try to get away from negativity and you will truly feel calmness and peace within you. Crystal is right listen to music that you like and don't watch bad news on tv. I usually listen to relaxing instrumental music such as piano and saxophone, it helps me feel chilled and relaxed it calms my mind and when you are feeling good inside , it emanates happiness to your environment and the people around you will feel you and get affected too. This is the law of attraction for me:)

Ummm.. until recently.. I put that there just in case you were listening
.lol.wink... I attracted the crazies..yup.. like hummingbirds to sugar water..

Have been attracting the "mothering kind" of women lately....maybe because I still drag my feet.....or maybe they like to tuck me into bed....lol...
