My ex was very controlling and I have attracted controllers throughout my adult years it seems. What is it about me that could attract that?
Yeah, it's you. I think human behavior is pretty complex, we pick up on the subtlest things. How you comport yourself, the language you use. So these others may be initially attracted to just how you carry yourself, the less intuitive ones may simply be 'feeling you out' so to say, then when you react in a certain way, they attack.

Reason I'm saying all this is the fact that I have a penchant for attracting a certain type of woman, extend it to all interactions actually.

And it's just my end, obviously can't do anything about theirs.

Make that 'bad habit', turns out I've decided I really don't like the way that 'type' of person treats me.
