Magnetic minds: people eager to learn and connect emotionally

Magnetic minds are characterized by a deep attraction to knowledge, to experience, to feel, to build emotionally intense bonds with other people. They are, in essence, hearts eager to find meaning in life, but when they do not find it in such a meaningful way, it is common for them to experience episodes of depression or deep disappointment.

It is very possible that this term, “magnetic minds”, is very new to most of us, even strange. We could say that we have reached that time when Every day more personality profiles, more behaviors, more life approaches are labeled. This one that occupies our article today is not as new as we think, it appeared in the year 2000 thanks to a book by the psychologist Mary-Elaine Jacobsen entitled “The magnetic adult, a guide to everyday genius.”

What its author and many other psychologists have seen for years in their consultations is a certain personality profile to which, until not long ago, no one had yet given a name. They are people who shine, who dazzle not only for their knowledge, but above all for their great sensitivity.for his intense passion for life and for ideals that are sometimes too high.

They long to achieve a rewarding professional future that matches their talents.want to find partners with whom they can experience intense emotions and create a meaningful life, they look for friends with whom they can also connect intellectually and above all emotionally. We could say that for these people there are no middle terms, everything must be intense, everything must give them a revealing and almost magical meaning with which they can grow.

As we can already imagine, this personality style lives in a continuous contradiction. His expectations and that magnetic, but above all sensitive, mind collide almost constantly with harsh reality.

Characteristics of magnetic minds

It is common for magnetic minds to be confused with those intellectually privileged minds or those with a high IQ. It should be said that this is not always the case. We are facing people with a great capacity for achievement, curious people, eager to accumulate knowledge and experiences.and above all, to emotionally enjoy that entire process.

Let’s see more features below.

Magnetic minds work very fast

Magnetic minds have arborescent thinking. From one concept they climb to a deeper one and then jump to another idea, and then to another. They are interested in many things at the same time and try to delve deeper into them because they are motivated by curiosity, the almost tireless need to know, to discover.

Their minds work very quickly, they are attentive to all stimuli and sometimes they get frustrated because they cannot reach all those signals.to everything that surrounds them.

An almost painful empathy

One of his most characteristic traits is his ability to connect with others. As their name indicates, they are “magnetic”, they have great ease when it comes to capturing other people’s needs, reading emotions, and knowing the interests of others. However, if there is one thing they expect, it is to be reciprocated in the same way, with the same emotional intensity.

Since this does not always happen, experience disappointment in a desperate waythey are hurt by criticism, deception and emotional coldness in an almost devastating way.

Magnetic minds always receive the same criticism

People who know a magnetic mind always say the same thing: “they are too passionate”, “they are too sensitive”, “they are too dramatic”, “they move too fast”… “Too much, too much, too much” is the eternal litany that this type of personality usually encounters.

However, they think that “it is never enough.”

Here comes the eternal contradiction of magnetic minds, thinking that although everyone around them thinks that they live in continuous excess (especially on the emotional level) They think that they are always missing something, that their gaps are tremendous and that they must try harder, that they must achieve many more things.

Dissatisfaction is eternal. And it is because they do not achieve meaningful personal relationships, because life continues to make no sense and because perhaps, they should try much harder to discover this and that, to know what is beyond…

Deep thinkers with sensitive hearts

If there is one thing that magnetic minds crave, it is to meet an emotional partner who challenges them emotionally and mentally. That is without a doubt one of his highest goals and, at the same time, one of his deepest frustrations.

Their sensitivity is very deep and it is common that in those days or months of isolation they spend it going even deeper into their thoughts.to try to forget their disappointments by immersing themselves in books, in new courses, in accumulating knowledge.

Finding that magnetic “north” is not easy, we know. Hence, they must learn to keep their feet on the ground, to find an internal balance where they understand that life has the meaning that one wants to give it, and that Many of the answers are not always on the outside or next to anyone, but inside that needs to be nourished, valued more and self-realized.
