Signs of Love Bombing

Love bombing, a manipulative behavior that utilizes excessive flattery to control an unsuspecting potential partner, is the antithesis of everything love stands for. It’s cruel and selfish, often leaving a person feeling confused and foolish for falling for such a manipulative person. This video includes some signs it's happening:
-They say they love you first early in the relationship and go to extremes to show you.
-They often complement you on ordinary things and tell you exactly what you want to hear.
-They want to move too fast. Love bombers want all of you soon after they meet you.
-Love bombers are attentive and work to please you temporarily.

You have no idea how this saved my life. I had met a really beautiful woman yet she began to love bomb me. Than she started asking for money from me which I was very uncomfortable to me. I ended it as of last night and I feel empowered and free

I observe people at work and everywhere in life in general. And at least, AT LEAST, half of them have some sort of toxicity. Either they rumor bad behind others' backs, or try to manipulate( kiss up/be a hypocryte), lie, it feels like the majority of people always have some mental "twists" to them, unfortunately. Maybe that's why I find it so hard to find true friends...Over time I always discover that 99% of all my friends turn out to be fake

And old people always see it first. I'm starting to get it now. They've probably been there.
