When you state an uncomfortable truth, as in "You are designed to be attracted to other people", most people will feel anxious and they will attack you, instead of acknowledging that truth. It's human nature: we oppose what makes us feel bad or suffer.

Ironically, the more one person denies and fights reality, the more he will suffer. Living well requires accepting what we cannot change (see the "Serenity prayer" by Reinhold Niebuhr).
