Namaste Chard!
I believe, generally speaking, that the weaker and less grounded is usually attracted to the stronger and more grounded....energetically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This a great part of the energy dynamics involved in Student being attracted to Teacher, Patient being attracted to Healer, the Shy Introvert being attracted to the Outgoing Extrovert, and so forth.

In some instances, the weaker and less grounded one may be adversely affected by exposure to another person's stronger and more grounded energy field. IMO, this is because they are not yet prepared to resonate in harmony with the other person's higher energetic vibration, but yet are still naturally inclined to seek it out and absorb it in order to elevate and refine their own resonancy. This may cause some energetic confusion and disarray when the difference in vibrational frequency or resonancy between two people is substantial.

Most higher level Teachers and Healers, for example, know this to be a common phenomenon, and have learned how to alter and modify their energetic resonance to avoid overloading others, while still 'pulling them up' so to speak at the same time.
The key to associating with more advanced individuals who don't know how to this, or choose not to do so for whatever reason, is to make a deliberate effort to affirmatively command and program the deeper mind, heart, and spirit to be conscious of maintaining a maximum possible degree of personal grounding and stability when in the presence of such a person. It usually also helps to envision such contacts with the expectation of a positive experience in which our Higher Self, the Jivatman within us, will identify with and harmoniously resonate with that of the other person, thus elevating us both by degree according to our Sacred Calling in the Holy Plan of Divine Providence.

This has always worked well for me, and has enabled me to maximize many opportunities in this life to learn a great deal from Illuminated Teachers with whom others felt too uncomfortable and intimidated by to spend much time around.
