We tend to shy away from negative or unpleasant experiences because they are negative and unpleasant. It is the way of intelligent beings to avoid unnecessary hardship and suffering. This is why we put a roof over our head and sit by the fire.
Of course there are some humans who choose to experience what its like to freeze and be drenched, and they also tend to enjoy beating their head on the wall and stabbing themselves with sharp objects. These usually go through many lives like this, dying needlessly and starting over again and again, learning their lesson the hard way. Some take much longer than others, and try to find support for their foolishness by recruiting others into their experience, thereby justifying it in their minds. Many of those are also often seen chasing their tails in circles for hours at a a time or staring off into space while plucking boogers from their orifices without the slightest concern for their appearance.
I agree that there is often too much emphasis placed on attracting negativity, but there is also a reason for the warnings.
Many who have gone before us have seen that of which they warn, and want to assist us in avoiding such suffering.
But all they can do is warn us. They will not stop us from chasing our tails or swinging in the trees. That is something through which we must evolve.
