Deep dives
Understanding Love Bombing
Love bombing is a manipulative behavior where an individual uses intense and often overwhelming affection to create rapid feelings of love in another person. This approach allows the love bomber to extract emotional benefits while maintaining a superficial connection, leaving the other person drained and eventually discarded. They often shower their targets with grandiose sentiments and gestures early on, which can feel exhilarating but are based more on the bomber's needs than a genuine relationship. This cycle can repeat infinitely, with love bombers moving on to new partners when they feel their emotional needs are unmet, indicating a deeper insecurity within them.
