Historians might call it seduction. Survivors call it manipulation. Love-bombing is one of the oldest tricks in the toxic playbook—an ancient art of overwhelming someone with affection until they confuse intensity for intimacy.
The lore says it begins with grand gestures: daily good mornings, endless compliments, promises of forever within weeks. You’re swept off your feet, convinced you’ve found your soulmate. But here’s the curse: the art isn’t sustainable. Once you’re hooked, the bombs stop dropping, and silence takes their place.
Love-bombing was never about love, it was about control. A spell designed to tether you, not treasure you. And like all dark arts, it leaves you drained, questioning, and wondering why the warmth disappeared as suddenly as it came.
Tessa’s Final Thought:
If the art feels too ancient, it’s because it’s been fooling women for centuries. Don’t let it fool you.
