Starting a new relationship can be an exhilarating experience, especially when your new love interest showers you with affection and gifts. It can feel like you're living in a fairy tale, and you can't believe your luck. But what happens when this fairy tale quickly turns into a nightmare?
There's a crucial reason why taking things slow in a new relationship is crucial. It's crucial to understand what it feels like when a psychopath shows up in the guise of your new significant other. The term "love bomb" might have originated from the Moonies, a cult, but it aptly describes the tactics that psychopaths use to manipulate people into relationships.
At first, the psychopath pulls out all the stops to make you feel like a million bucks. They lavish you with attention and gifts, and they seem to have an uncanny ability to anticipate your every desire. They use their charm and charisma to make you feel like you're the center of their universe, and they reflect back a persona that's tailor-made to your every whim.
It's easy to fall under the spell of love bombing. After all, who wouldn't want to feel adored and cherished? However, the problem with love bombing is that it's often the only sign that something is amiss with a new relationship. The psychopath's over-the-top behavior is designed to overwhelm and distract you, making it hard to see their true nature.
The psychopath uses love bombing as a way to hook you and gain the upper hand. They know that if they acted the way they do at the end of a relationship at the beginning, few people would fall for their trap. That's why they go all out in the beginning, showering you with love and attention.
The danger of love bombing is that it creates an illusion that's hard to resist. Victims of psychopaths often lament, years later, that they can't get the person they fell in love with back. They wonder if it was all just an act or if their love was real. The sad truth is that it was all a dangerous illusion designed to gain their victim's love and trust.
So, if you're in a new relationship and your new beau is showering you with love and attention, be wary. Take things slow, and don't fall under the spell of love bombing. Remember, true love takes time to develop, and anyone who tries to rush things is probably hiding something.
