Reasons behind love bombing

Love bombing is a behavior where individuals shower their partners with excessive love, compliments, and promises before suddenly disappearing. The main reason why people engage in love bombing is due to their own insecurities. They seek validation and a sense of self-worth by making someone else fall in love with them. They rely on creating an idealized version of themselves, just like the filtered images on Instagram, in order to elicit intense feelings and admiration. However, once the initial excitement fades, they struggle to live up to the expectations they created.
