Understanding Breadcrumbing and Its Signs

Breadcrumbing is the practice of sporadically showing interest in someone to keep them engaged despite a lack of true investment in the relationship. It can be unintentional or deliberate, often linked to internal struggles. Signs of breadcrumbing include intermittent reinforcement, showing interest only when you pull away, withdrawing when you show too much interest, shallow communication, and inconsistent communication patterns.
