Magnetic Minds: People Eager To Learn And To Connect Emotionally
Magnetic minds are characterized by a deep attraction to knowledge, to experience, to feel, to build intense emotional connections with other people. They are, in essence, hearts eager to find meaning in life. But frankly not to find it, these people frequently encounter episodes of depression or deep disappointment.
It is quite possible that this term, “magnetic spirits”, is very new, even strange for most of us. Yet we can say that we have reached an age in which we are labeling more personality profiles, behaviors, and vital approaches every day. The one that occupies our article today is not as new as one might think. It appeared in the year 2000 thanks to a book by psychologist Mary-Elaine Jacobsen entitled “The Magnetic Adult, A Guide to Everyday Genius” .
What the author and many other psychologists have seen over years of consultation is a certain personality profile that until recently no one had yet named. These are people who shine, who dazzle not only with their knowledge, but above all with their great sensitivity, their intense passion for life and for sometimes too high ideals.
They want to achieve a rewarding professional future in line with their talents. They want to find partners with whom to experience intense emotions, to build a life that has meaning. They are looking for friends with whom to connect intellectually and especially emotionally. You could say that for these people there are no half measures. Everything must seem intense to them, everything must seem revealing and almost magical to them in order to grow.
As we can already imagine, this personality style lives in continual contradiction. His expectations and his magnetic, but above all sensitive mind almost always collide with harsh reality.
Characteristics of magnetic spirits
Magnetic spirits are often confused with intellectually privileged or high IQ spirits. This is not in fact always the case. We are dealing with people with a great capacity for accomplishment, people who are curious, eager to accumulate knowledge and experiences, and above all, to benefit emotionally from this whole process.
Let us see below what are their other characteristics.
Magnetic spirits work very fast
Magnetic spirits have tree thinking. From one concept, they move on to a deeper one, then jump to another idea, then another. They are interested in a lot of things at the same time and try to go deeper into them because they are moved by curiosity, the almost indefatigable need to know, to discover.
Their minds work very quickly, they are attentive to all stimuli and are sometimes frustrated at not being able to respond to all these signals, to everything around them.
An almost painful empathy
One of the most characteristic traits is their ability to connect with others. As their name suggests, they are “magnetic”. They have a great facility to capture the needs of others, to read emotions, to know the interests of others. However, if there is anything they expect, it is to be seen the same way, with the same emotional intensity.
Considering the fact that this doesn’t always happen, they experience disappointment in a desperate way. Criticism, deception, and emotional coldness hurt them almost devastatingly.
Magnetic spirits always get the same criticism
Those who know a magnetic mind always say the same thing: “they are too passionate”, “they are too sensitive”, “they dramatize too much”, “they go too fast” … “Too much, too much, too much” is the eternal litany inherent in this type of personality.
However, they think “it’s never enough”
Here is the eternal contradiction of the magnetic spirits: although their whole environment thinks that they live in continuous excess (especially in the emotional plane), they think that they are always lacking something, that they have enormous voids and that they should strive harder, that they must achieve much more.
The dissatisfaction is endless. This is so because they don’t get meaningful personal relationships, because life still doesn’t make sense and because maybe they should try harder to find this and that, to find out what is beyond …
Deep thinkers with sensitive hearts
If there is anything magnetic spirits are looking for, it is to know an emotional partner who challenges them emotionally and mentally. This is without a doubt one of their most ambitious goals and, at the same time, one of their biggest frustrations.
Thus, they frequently have very difficult times, times of great anxiety or even depression. They are very sensitive and it is usual that during days or months of isolation they devote themselves to digging even deeper into their thoughts, trying to forget their disappointments by diving into books, new lessons. , accumulating knowledge.
In conclusion, what most magnetic minds need is to feel fulfilled and accepted. Even so, it is never easy to live with such emotional frequency, and with this tireless desire to accumulate wisdom in order to find meaning in life.
Finding this magnetic “north” is not easy, we know that. Therefore, they must learn to have their feet on the ground, to find an internal balance and to understand that life has the meaning that one wants to give it. Many of the answers are not always outside or next to anyone, but in that inside that needs to be nurtured, more valued and self-realized.
Our thoughts Highly sensitive people have several characteristics that define them. We will present them to you in the rest of this article.
