Everything You Need To Know About Love Bombing

Love is something that can not be enforced. Unless the two parties are not attracted to each other, they can not be in a lasting relationship. This is what most lovers believe. Especially platonic lovers are the ones who propagate the idea of falling in love from both sides. However, an ancient romance trick has made someone fall in love in a brief span of time. Essentially, love bombing refers to tricking someone into falling in love with you even if you are not attracted to them.

Nevertheless, it is essential to understand that love bombing can backfire sometimes. And when it does, the relationship overturns through and through. One of the commonest signs of love bombing is feeling that the other party is excessively careful about the first party.

Signs of Love Bombing

For example, if your loved one goes out of his or her way to do surreal things, this could be a sign of love bombing. Things like overpraising you, begging for forgiveness despite not doing anything wrong to you, or just being ‘too good to be true’ are the signs of love bombing. If your partner does things and says things that are too good to be true, it is perhaps not true. And this can be a gesture that your partner is love bombing you.

While it is always a good idea to give a second chance to your loved ones, it does not mean they should belittle you every now and then. Similarly, it is a sane idea to forgive the wrongdoings of your loved ones. But if a mistake is repeated over and over again, perhaps you need to look at your relationship. You also have to be cautious of the fact that your significant other might be love bombing you.

With that said, here are some of the no-no signs of love bombing. Keep in mind that if you ever find yourself in a love bombing situation, it is time to reassess your relationship; if there are things that can be worked out on, good for you. Do work out on them. Otherwise, if things do not work out for you, it is good to part ways. Here are some of the signs of love bombing:

• Idealization is the No No Sign of Love Bombing

One of the common gestures of love bombing is idealization. This means that your life partner does things for you or says things that are too good to be true. In other words, they are nothing but mere idealizations.

While it is always good to feel good about yourself, it does not mean that dopamine is good for you. Or your relationship. Instead, it is toxic for your relationship in the long run. This means that you are often hit by a good feeling that is not good in the first place. As you continue to feel good about yourself, things turn out in the other direction as time passes.
