Love bombing

This is an interesting term I just heard and based on the last 1.5 years it makes a whole lot of sense that its happening out there… I experienced it.. Here’s what it is…

When you are first getting to know someone and you have only really chatted once or twice about anything meaningful, and they are all of a sudden telling you they love you every time you see them. You have not established a relationship; they just jumped right to a fake level of intimacy. I met a few people like this in the category of being old and not having any close friends after living in the community for a very long time…. Yup, surprise, surprise; they are liars on every level… They fake this intimacy with you usually because they have not dealt with the abuse/neglect they have experienced in their lives. They just covered it up with some fancy words and few ‘retreats’ they went on and started love bombing everyone.

The thing about these people, because they established a false intimacy with no foundation; they enjoy ripping it out from under you in disgusting ways. Like sending texts one minute professing love and deep friendship, and the next saying they feel unsafe or they need to take a break. This is infinitely hilarious in hindsight, but going through it is gross and these people, no wonder they have no close friends even though they volunteer and have been in the community for decades. I’m sure many have run across them.

SO beware of those people who don’t know you but profess an undieing sisterhood and love for you that has no foundation. They are just waiting for you to let down your guard so they can try to hurt you. Don’t fall for it; RUN AWAY AND FAST!!!
