Love bombing is a manipulation tactic that happens when someone overwhelms you with affection, adoration, gifts, and love in order to gain control of your behaviors. Someone trying to love bomb you may: Lavish you with gifts. (This often includes over-the-top gestures such as flowers, jewelry, or even trips. The point of this is to make you feel as if you owe them something.) Give you constant praise and adoration. (Phrases such as “you’re the only person I want to spend time with”, “I love everything about you”, and “I’ve never met anyone I like as much as you” are nice, but it is important to consider the context.) Want to be in constant communication with you. (Love bombing can take the form of constant communication: texting, calling, and messaging over social media all day long.) They get upset when you implement boundaries. (When you try to tell a love bomber to slow down or implement any kind of boundary with them, they get upset. This can present itself as them declaring that you don’t care about them/that you don’t love them.)
