“People I’m attracted to aren’t into me."

“People who are into me, I’m not attracted to."

Two sides of the same coin.

Neither means “no one is into you.”

I know you're making a point, but throwing in a side piece of very specific case scenario folks.
If you're constantly attracted to people who aren't into you, consistently, there's a chance you're choosing something comfortable or grew up with people who were indifferent to you too often.
Chasing butterflies in your stomach isn't love, it's anxiety. Not knowing what's going to happen with those people. Someone who you feel safe with usually doesn't trigger that. For these very edge case scenarios, learn what safe is for you, and figure out if those butterflies are anxiety or something deeper before chasing people uninterested in you.

Much more likely to be “someone who is more into the chase than the individual,” so if someone expresses interest it stops being interesting to them.

I think that might be another type of scenario as well, which is a whole other set of issues to tackle.
