The Tiny Little Bomb

Why do we get such conflicting feelings as being drawn to someone yet feeling repelled by them.

While it is not entirely repulsion, it is not exactly affection neither.

I always thought that after I attained a certain amount of mileage in my tank, I won't have to suffer contradicting feelings like that.

Although it is not all that unpleasant, and I don't really mind it very much, it is a very disconcerting state to be in.

Left, right, no left instead, no wait go back right again, no it should be up!

Conundrum.
