gravitated

Pulled toward naturally

Gravitated is the past tense of gravitate, meaning to be drawn toward something as if by gravitational pull.

The word usually describes attraction to people, places, or ideas rather than literal physics: She gravitated toward the quiet corner of the party, He's always gravitated to jobs that let him work outdoors.

The movement implied is gradual and natural rather than deliberate.
