When things get emotional, we tend to do things out of our usual routine to achieve our desired outcomes. That includes exploring manifestation as a way to get together with someone. The question you might have is: Is it bad to manifest a specific person?
Yes, it is bad to manifest a specific person. When you do so, you are imposing thoughts and actions that do not come from the person freely. They are not making choices that they wanted to make on their own. You also cut off all the possibilities that the Universe can give you by limiting your options.
In this post, we get into the specifics and learn more about what happens when you manifest someone and what is something better you can do.
What happens when you try to manifest someone?
Manifesting is a powerful tool that can bring you everything from success to love.
The concept is pretty simple: you have an idea, you put your intention out there, and the Universe conspires to make it happen for you.
But what happens when you try to manifest someone? Can you really wish for someone to come into your life, or will it backfire?
Manifesting a specific person is not really the most ideal thing to do, and here’s why.

Going against the Law of Attraction
When you try to manifest someone, it’s a bit like trying to force a relationship.
You can spend lots of time and energy thinking about that person, wondering whether they like you and wanting them to go out with you. In doing so, you are using the Law of Attraction against yourself.

Manipulation
When things go overboard, as they often do, you might become obsessed with them, even if they’re not into you.
You might also be tempted to try to manipulate the situation and force them into loving you back. That can backfire in a big way if you’re not careful.
For example, say you’re trying to manifest a new boyfriend and you know he’s attracted to someone else. You also know that he’s interested in her because he told you so — but she doesn’t seem interested in him.
In an attempt to make things work out for the best, you might do something that could ultimately hurt your relationship with these parties.
May not get what you want
Sure, you might end up being with the person eventually, but you might also find out that he or she is simply not the right person for you.
On the surface, this specific person might seem ideal, but as you get together and know each other deeper, you may start to realize that your interests are not aligned at all.
You or the other party may end up sacrificing what you truly like and enjoy just to make this work, but is it worth it? Is that the kind of love you want?

What you should do instead?
Control over your own actions
You can’t control someone else’s actions, but you do have control over what you do. You also cannot change someone else’s mind, but you can change your own.
You may not be able to make a specific person love you, but if you learn to love yourself then they will be attracted to that.
It is impossible to change the past, but we are always learning from our experiences and growing as individuals which means we will always have new opportunities for change in the future!
Affirmations can be a powerful tool for helping you to achieve your goals
Affirmations are positive statements that help you to stay focused on your goals and become what you want to be.
When you repeat a mantra, it creates a pathway in your brain for the idea to take root and grow.
While affirmations can be very helpful tools for achieving your goals, they don’t always work out as planned. There are many ways affirmations can backfire:
- You might start believing that everything will come easily if you just think about it hard enough (false). This is called magical thinking—the idea that by thinking positively about something bad things won’t happen or negative feelings will go away
- By focusing on one specific person or thing too much, it might mean losing focus on other important areas of life such as work/career or relationships with friends/family members
Affirmations are meant to help you develop the right mindset, not gift you a miracle outcome. When you have the right mindset, you will naturally be able to get closer to your goals.
Unhealthy mindset
If you’re carrying around an unhealthy mindset, it’s going to prevent you from moving forward.
You need to be a good role model for yourself and others, so that means being the best version of yourself possible.
This can mean actively working on your mental health by sitting with uncomfortable emotions or seeking professional help if necessary.
It also includes being a good friend, partner, parent and employee.
It is important to remember that we are all in this together!
The more we take care of ourselves and each other the better off society will be overall.
In order for us all (including but not limited to those who want someone specific) to move forward as a collective whole then we must ensure our mental health is top-notch!
We must also remember that we are responsible for how we treat ourselves both physically & emotionally/mentally so let go of any guilt associated with self-care because it only serves as an excuse not to act positively towards yourself & others around us.

Stay positive
All in all, it’s important to remember that manifesting a specific person is a process for you to gain personal insight about yourself.
Don’t focus on the negative and try not to let the negative get you down.
Try to stay positive about the whole thing, even if it seems impossible!
Remember: if someone doesn’t want your love or attention, then that simply isn’t their path for growth—and there are plenty of other people out there who will enjoy your company!
If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout my journey as a self-improvement advocate, it’s that being yourself is crucial in every aspect of life.
You shouldn’t be afraid or ashamed of who you are at heart; instead, embrace those qualities and use them as tools for success and happiness in all areas of your life!

Changing how you feel
There is something to be said for being honest with yourself.
You can’t change someone else’s mind, but you can change how you feel about it.
Did I mention that the past is in the past?
While it’s important, to be honest with yourself, it’s also important not to dwell on things that are out of your control.
You have no control over what someone else does or doesn’t do with their life. However, you do have control over your own actions and choices—so choose wisely!
You may not be able to change the past, but there’s still hope for a better future: I know we’ve all been there at some point in our lives before.
Focus on self love
Self-love is the foundation for all relationships.
It’s also something that can be difficult to truly understand because it’s not exactly a tangible thing.
In reality, self-love is a state of mind and an attitude that you carry with you in your day-to-day life.
When you’re filled with love for yourself, it helps you feel connected and nurtured in your body and mind.
That feeling of love then extends to everyone around you—including the people closest to you who love and support each other through thick and thin!
In this sense, you can actually strengthen your relationship with yourself as well as improve other areas of your life (like work).
Try out these self love exercises to get started.
Let go of grudges
If you’re holding onto grudges and resentment, they are going to affect your bond with this person in a negative way.
This can cause problems in the relationship that would otherwise never have existed if you weren’t holding on to these feelings.
When we hold onto these feelings, it damages the relationship with others because our mental state is clouded by anger or sadness at what has happened in the past.
It’s important to let go of those emotions so that they don’t impact future interactions with this individual—and it may mean letting go of them entirely if there aren’t any more opportunities for friendship or love between you two.

Be the best version of yourself
The main thing to keep in mind when it comes to manifesting specific people is that the best way to attract someone else is by being the best version of yourself.
Being your most authentic self will make you more attractive to everyone, including the people you want to attract.
Ignore any advice that tells you otherwise and focus on working on yourself instead of trying to change how others see you.
This will help improve your self-esteem and confidence levels, which are key components in attracting high-quality partners into your life!
Develop a stronger sense of confidence
When you think of confidence, what comes to mind?
Is it an attitude you have or a quality you’re missing? It’s actually both.
Confidence is a mindset, which can be learned and practiced.
However, if you only view confidence as a personality trait (like being outgoing or intelligent), then your ability to develop it will be limited by how well your upbringing has equipped you for that particular skill set.
Confidence is often confused with bravado or arrogance because many people think that having confidence means feeling good about yourself all the time, but this isn’t true!
You can still feel confident even when things aren’t going so well in your life; there’s no need to pretend otherwise just because someone else might want them to believe otherwise!
Manifest an ideal relationship
And finally, instead of trying to manifest a specific person, you can manifest an ideal partner instead. Think about the qualities that you are looking out for.
This means that you are more likely to end up with someone that you are truly happy with.
The Universe is able to give you a lot, but it is up to you to ask for it and ask it the right way.
Does manifesting a specific person cause bad karma?
The short answer is that it’s not bad karma if you don’t intend to hurt anyone.
The longer answer is that yes, it’s possible to manifest someone in your life but only if they have already expressed a desire to be in it.
You can use the Law of Attraction to manifest anything you want, and manifesting specific people into your life is one of the most common manifestations. However, you should always be careful about making this decision for other people.
For example, let’s say you really want your friend to move in with you (or vice versa).
You could use the Law of Attraction to manifest this situation by thinking about how great it would be when they move into your place and how much fun you’ll have together. But what if your friend has other plans?
What if he or she doesn’t want to move in with you?
What if he or she has plans for their future that don’t include living with you?
If those things are true, then manifesting them into your life could be considered negative karma because it would force them into something they didn’t want to do — just so that you could have what you wanted.
In this case, it would probably be better not to go down this road.

In conclusion: Is it bad to manifest a specific person?
Manifesting is not a sin but manifesting specific people can be tricky, largely because it’s easy to get stuck in a loop of negative thoughts, feelings, and expectations when trying to attract that person.
Whether that manifests as a fear of being rejected, feeling like a failure when another person is playing hard to get, or holding on to a grudge, manifesting specific people can often leave you feeling more frustrated than fulfilled.
I think that the true bottom line is that you should bear in mind that while manifesting, you do not try to manipulate, hide and deceive, or harm anybody.
Finding happiness in yourself first will often lead you to take the right actions in your life!
