In a safe space,
tell them you would like to take things slow and that their displays of affection
are making you feel uncomfortable.
Slowly move
away from the relationship until you’re able to either ignore them or let them
go.
If it starts to
feel abusive or overly unhealthy seek help. If you are feeling the lasting
effects of this manipulation,
seek help from a professional so you can learn how to trust people again.
What’s You
Should Understand About Love-Bombing.
This can
happen in any relationship—whether romantic, familial, or platonic.
If you notice
any of these things happening in a current relationship, it might be time to
end that relationship. If it feels too good to be true, then it’s likely it is.
The last thing
you need is someone making you think they care, only to rip out your hopes from
under you.
These are
manipulative behaviors disguised as affection and attention used to try and coerce
you into doing something that meets their goal or agenda.
It is natural
for us to crave things like attention, love, compliments, acts of service, etc.
It is not healthy when it is over the top and makes you feel uncomfortable. But
if the person who is giving it to you is making you feel uncomfortable, hurting
you, or trying to make you do something you don’t want to do, it’s time to let
them go.
The best
advice for deciphering if you’re experiencing love-bombing is to follow your intuition.
If what a person is doing makes you feel uneasy, out of balance, or makes you
feel unsafe, don’t ignore that feeling.
Listen to your
body. If it tells you it isn’t right, it isn’t right.
Chances are listening
to your gut can save you from terrible heartbreak or perhaps something even worse.
