Why Do People Act the Way They Do Around You? The Answer Will Surprise You!

Do you ever wonder why some people act differently around others than they do you? Often it has nothing to do with you! In the same way, you act differently around others, people also act differently around you. You may be wondering why this is?

Why Do People Act the Way They Do Around You?

#1 Reason Why People Act the Way They Do Around You – Law of Attraction

One reason why people act the way they do around you is because of the Law of Attraction. You will attract people with the same vibration as you. Also, how you expect someone to act is usually how they will act.

If you met a complete stranger, you’d have no expectations of how they act around you. However, you have certain expectations for your friends, family, and co-workers. You know how they act because people stay fairly consistent with their behavior. Therefore, you expect them to be a certain way.

#2 Reason Why People Act the Way They Do Around You – How They Are Feeling That Day

Another reason people act the way they do around you is because of how they are feeling that day.

If someone is feeling good and happy, they will act differently around you than if they aren’t feeling good. If they are upset about something, they may not be as friendly or talkative.

So, it may appear that they aren’t as happy to be around you but often is just how they are feeling that day and what they have going on in their life that you may not be aware of.

#3 Reason Why People Act the Way They Do Around You – The Energy You Give Off

The energy you give off creates how people around you act. If you are happy and kind, people will more likely act that way around you. People will be drawn to you sometimes without even knowing why.

If you are feeling down and unhappy, then people will sense it and may not be as talkative to you and stay further away from you. They will more likely withdraw their energy and keep their distance even if they don’t realize why.

People can sense energy (some more so than others) and even if you don’t say anything, your energy and body language can speak for you.

#4 Reason Why People Act the Way They Do Around You – You Hit an Emotional Trigger in a Conversation with Them

People may act a certain way around you if you hit an emotional trigger with them.

Let’s say you are having a conversation with someone and they bring up something that hits you emotionally. Now they may think it isn’t a big deal, but it gets to you. You may act out and blame them for what they said to you. Or you may end the conversation with them as it doesn’t feel good anymore. The fact of the matter is that it has nothing to do with them but everything to do with this emotional trigger that you have. 

Now turn that around. If someone starts acting weird around you all of a sudden, it might be because without even realizing it, you hit one of their emotional triggers or issues. You might have no clue what is going on and they might not even know why they are acting a certain way around you. But if you dig deep you might realize it was an emotional trigger.

For example, let’s say you are upset that you have not been able to get pregnant yet. The person you are in conversation with has no idea and they keep talking about how sweet their newborn niece is. It reminds you of what you want but you do not yet have and so you end the conversation because it is making you feel bad. That is an emotional trigger. 

Emotional triggers can cause us to act around people in ways that we would never usually act. Look at breakups for example. On a normal day, you would never act that way but if you are in the middle of a breakup you might act differently to everyone around you.

Bottom Line – Why Do People Act the Way They Do Around You?

Different people bring out different things in people and that is ok. Everything from their energy, to your energy, affects how someone will act around you. If someone is feeling really good, they will likely act differently around you than if they are feeling down.

Often, how someone acts around you is about how they are feeling that day and not always how much they like you. Of course, they will act differently around people they like more but there are many factors to take into consideration as to why people act the way they do around you.
