blender - The soft bodies are attracted to each other. Why?

Question

I created a scene with a rope (SoftBody) and two box with Collision only. The rope attracted to the boxes but I don't know why.

I created two videos: https://youtu.be/CWTQKD52Csg and https://youtu.be/BQJUS1dK6Vg

The Blender file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-33uqCH0g1cX0kcNvaC0VoW6tJxqkfVA/view?usp=sharing

Thanks.

In the file you give, you can see that cubes have a negative scale factor. So, instead of being repulsive, the force is attractive. Funny and good to know. It might even be useful in some cases. But, in order to put things back to normal, just put positive scales. And it is also a good idea to apply scales before running the simulation (ctrl-A and apply scale). Best regards.
