I usually find that I attract skeptics during times in my life where I'm overcoming skepticism in another area.
For example, right now I'm learning about Energy Healing and Psychic Development. One part of me believes in these things because I've had a lot of personal experiences that point to these things being true, but I know that I still have some buried, subconscious beliefs about something like Energy Healing.
I'm moving forward and learning about these things based on the assumption that they are real, in an open minded manner, but I still haven't fully integrated them into my day-to-day thinking.
I guess it would be similar to when Steve was living with Erin and knew her Psychic abilities were real (that she wasn't just making it up), but hadn't yet had his own experiences. THen when he had some Psychic experiences himself (Uncle's picture in kitchen cabinets incident for example), I'm sure his level of subconscious belief increased big time.
So, when I attract skeptics, I ask myself "Where in my life am I being skeptical and closed minded and not trusting what's right in front of my eyes based on subconscious assumptions, social conditioning, ignorant logic, or crap I've seen on TV?"
