Well, I've been thinking for a while about something. Do you believe that, through some undescribable force, people of the same qualities, traits, perks, etc., gather together and become friends? For example: after I had found out I was bisexual, I started to meet people who are/support LGBTs. I didn't actively look and I don't consider myself to be "Steriotypically Bisexual" as some would say. I don't know if it was pure coincidence, but it all seemed to fit. Of course, it doesn't have to only be for sexual orientation; it could be through anything at all. I would just like to know all of your opinions on this.
I don't think I would characterize it as an indescribable force. Though you are not actively looking for likeminded people, you are most likely noticing them more readily... or they're noticing you. Assuming you actually communicate with them, it isn't unlikely that you'd become friends with them more easily than others. But honestly, I'm probably just trying to create a reason for the occurrence after the fact. Method to the madness, right?
Not to say that have I individuals in my life that I'd address as friends, but I do find myself interacting with people of a similar mindset on a daily basis. That mindset being: misanthrophic 'expletive'. That's probably just because we're sufficiently distracted by our hatred for others that we temporarily ignore the hatred for each other.
I think the important part of it is that you become acquainted with the likeminded individuals, regardless of reason.
hmm dunno i dont think its a udescibable force .... its just easier to talk to someone that thinks the same, it makes it easier to understand eachother. and i think that u change when u hang out with the same people a lot.

That's funny because I went through something similar. I find other transsexuals everywhere these days. I'm not entirely sure why... I think I'm attracting them somehow.
It's not really a theory. It's more like human nature. You want to be accepted and who better to accept you then others like you so subconsiously you seek out others like you. That may not be the true cause of this phenomenon but it seems to fit so im sticking with it.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I guess I only described it as I did because I didn't know how to describe it. After reading all of your posts, I've reevaluated my idea. I guess it really is part of human nature to subconsciously seek out those whom (is it who or whom?) are alike to us in order to feel accepted.
