    @@Psych2go Hm. I don't really know what I'd call "too much" on the recieving end. But I do tend to worry a lot whether I give people I love more attention than they would appreciate, if that makes any sense. Do I text too often? Does it bother them when I hug them a lot? Do I stare too long? Would they rather not get a fat bunch of goofy memes in the middle of the night? Is it weird when I want to accompany them on errands? Do I touch them too much? Do I smile too much? Will it make them uncomfortable if I buy them this cute nonsense? At what point does complimenting them go from nice to awkward? I don't want to end up not making them feel loved just because I don't know. I will try my best to read people's boundaries better.

    @Danka42 what you’ve said was me recently. I’m close to this friend of mine. It’s weird because i thought I learned enough to control myself for being too nice and sweet from past relationships. But with my friend I tried to step back when I feel too caring and too thoughtful. I like hugs, but with him it’s difficult because I sense some tension. So I even asked for permission. Lol one more thing with him is that when I move away a little he then sends me a barrage of texts and pictures and memes trying to get my attention any time of the day. And when I do the same he backs off a little. I’m super confused. It’s always been like this. It’s a cycle. Toxic in a way. I don’t know how to move on. But recently i ended this nonsense. He was trying to hangout with me last week for the whole day. I said I can’t because I have a doctors appointment with my family. He said it’s fine. And then when I was out later that day and he just showed up. So I was happy and gave him a hug. That was that. We hangout for like 3 hours then call it a day. We hugged again when we separated. He was quiet the following day. Till nighttime I asked if everything’s okay. He said yeah. I asked if I’m acknowledging him too much and if im being too close. And then he suddenly said yeah it’s okay. You can acknowledge me and all. But don’t touch me. I was like whaaaat??? I was so confused. I never touched him inappropriately or anything under the belt. I felt so horrible for him to say that. I cried the whole night and decided to end the friendship. Then I talked to our mutual friend which is his close friend even before me and learned that he has some ptsd with getting too close. I was like maybe you should’ve warned me or he could’ve said it personally to me or something. But really it’s too late for that. That was the last straw for me. It’s a toxic relationship even from the very start.

    @@danixoxo3180 I am very sorry you feel this way. Perhaps, if your friendships are otherwise fine, it might be something to just straight up ask for? People can care about you without realizing what you need from them and if they're your friends, they won't mind texting or complimenting you, once they know it would mean a lot to you. As for "appreciating" it from me... I understand it might _seem_ great when written down. I understand if this sounds like what you're missing, you'd assume this is great for everybody. But people express their affection in all kinds of ways; I cannot recommend enough _The Five Love Languages,_ the book that made me finally believe my parents and my brothers do, in fact, love me, they're just not huggers. I had no idea that was even a thing. For me it feels like the most natural thing to touch people all the time, for them it can feel invasive. I can offer spending time together, but most of my friends have tighter schedule than me and to make time for me they might need to plan around it for days, so asking them randomly to go get ice cream is putting them in the awkward position of having to refuse and now I made them feel guilty without even knowing. Eye contact can be really uncomfortable to some people, plus I have an unfortunate habit of not blinking much. I may think this gift is perfect for them, but in reality it's a piece of plastic crap that will make them smile for one second and then collect dust until they finally toss it. I want my loved ones to always know I admire them and that they kick ass, but it might come off as insincere or it's something they're not really proud of. (As a teen I used to compliment people for being really thin. I'm fat and I had no idea there is such thing as wishing you were chunkier.) Those dorky memes are eating away at my brother's data plan. What I'm saying is, the thought counts, but it's not _all_ that counts. Just because I mean well doesn't mean I can't still make people wish I _didn't._

    100% talk to her first. Everybody gives and wants to recieve affection in different ways. Some people like the adoration of being "love bombed" This video is honestly really bad for villainising affection while the real toxic traits are lack of communication, manipulation and lack of respect of bounderies. With proper communication and respect "love bombing" can never be a issue and it's honestly a word you should forget. Putting a mental block on the way you give affection is really unhealthy. As long as you can adjust to what your partner wants when they ask you too there is nothing you can do wrong

    I got a flag of unintentionally love bombing someone to answer that "am I love bombing?" anxiety. If your loved one answers to "how was your day" with a detailed report of her daily routine instead of "great", "bad" or "boring" and then highlights stories if there are. There is a flag to slow down. Another sign is to ask yourself "can my loved one slow down, make space or even break up without me passing the bill of all the gifts and gestures?"

    Love bombing sounds good on paper, but it’s so hard to deal with. I’ve been love bombed and you don’t know why, but you’re exhausted. How can I be tired of someone else constantly telling me how much I mean to them, buying me snacks at the store, and inviting me to every social thing they go to, and more importantly, how do I tell them it’s too much? For me, she love bombed me AND she kept score. All the little things she did for me were things I should be doing back, and that was unhealthy too. I tried once to tell her it was too much and she thought I was asking for distance and telling her I didn’t love her any more. I never found a way to deal with it. I hope that whoever is reading this and getting love bombed figures it out

    If you've been watching a lot of romantic movies recently😎 What if you’re the love bomber? Here is what you can do: 👍 Engage in self-reflection. Love-bombing is a hard habit to stop. The most crucial thing you can do is acknowledge the consequences of love-bombing and take steps to avoid repeating these behaviors. 👍 Think of some patterns of behaviors that you would like to change. Wanting an exciting romance is completely normal. But being disingenuous is not. For instance, do you tend to "mirror" your partner’s interests to make them think you are a perfect match? Is having the upper hand in your relationship a necessity for you? 👍 Be open with your partner. Don’t hesitate to ask your partner if your behavior is excessive or hurtful. If they say it is, try your best to avoid becoming defensive. Good Luck!

    Yeah, I have been love-bombed by a guy 3 years older than me before. It was ugly. I thought he was really sweet but when he started sexting me, the dynamics changed. He is always talking about my body instead of anything else, bugging me while I was at work and kept on asking whether I have plans but never took action to even take me out on a date. UGH! Worst of all, he is NOT who he said he is 😡🤬

If you are honest and vulnerable you can build deeper trust and intimacy in your friendship. Ask your friend if you are making them uncomfortable..tell them about this video you saw and the insecurity that perhaps you are behaving in a way that may be coming across negatively..

Give the affection you want to give and if it's too much then it's up to the reciever to properly communicate it.

Just like how parents can spoil their children by buying them gifts but that doesn't make every parent who buys something for their kids bad. I feel like they overely villainized giving affection instead of the actual toxic traits. The mayority of the people who love bomb are just people who are overwhelmed with genuinly being in love and all it takes is a single convertation to leave some breathing room. I think that making a video that makes people second guess if they should give affection in a world where affection is becoming very few and far between gives of a very bad message

    This is a great video for people who have gone through an abusive relationship and to know the signs or to also understand what “too much” looks like. On the other hand this is a horrible video for people who are genuinely loving and affectionate because it villainizes the natural desire for giving and receiving affection. More often than not they can’t defend themselves from an accusation of love bombing because any defense will confirm the suspicion in someone’s head. When they’re just very genuine people. I’ve also seen people ignore the other manipulative and abusive part of the word and simply focus on just the too much affection part which is fine but don’t half ass the definition when it has bad connotations attached.

    I definitely did this with a girl before but I wasn’t trying to be manipulative we just connected really well and I grew an attachment to her and also loved bombed to her.I did Way too much and our relationship was an absolute train wreck the more I cared the less she did which created a power shift in me putting in more effort for her,constantly chasing behind her like a lost puppy.The crazy part is I never done anything like this before I’ve dealt with women before and definitely wanted to impress/please them in certain ways but I wouldn’t say I loved bombed like I did with this one.With other girls if they ended the relationship it would hurt a bit but I was able to move on easier and not think of them as much as this one.Right now I’m currently working on my issues and trying to become a better man in general.

    Love bombers are basically narcissists. I have a narcissist friend who did this to me, probably because she was insecure and not happy with her relationship. According to her I was the most handsome and perfect man ever. It seemed strange to me but I was thankful for all the nice compliments until I realized she was a narcissist person who uses people and wants everything in control. I even think that these kind of people cannot really love someone. Nowadays she never contacts me first and she probably found some other person to love bomb, like a new supply. And I'm thankful for that, especially because I've discovered more about her personality and behavior

    Love and obsession is not the same thing. When you think that someone is perfect you are creating your own picture of them in your head and then you imagine the “perfect” person with the behavior that seems most perfect to you, but in reality nobody’s perfect. And you can just let the other person know that you are there for them if they need you, without forcing yourself on them.

    I don't know how to feel about this one. I've given gifts, sent texts, gone out of my way to do things or fix something for the person. I'm just trying to prove myself. Of course, as the relationship went on, I still did but with less frequency. Some of my partners, then expected said things of me, and it was no longer done from the heart, but out of fear. I very much felt like if i didnt love enough, they'd leave, and if I loved too much, they'd leave. Its a very hard balance to achieve. I know that being this way, is to my detriment, but I guess I try to love the way that I wasn't loved as a child. I know it doesn't make it any better, but don't really know what else to do. Maybe love really isn't for me 😅 as I've never had luck in love, and I realize that some of that is due to me being the way I am.

Ideally they should tell you when you are being too much but if communication is hard for them simply ask them and adjust so it works for both of you.

    As someone who struggles with borderline personality disorder, I'm very impulsive and often struggle at controlling my anger. I think I've always known I do this but Nessa Barretts song lovebomb also talks about this. I don't use love bombing in a manipulative way at all but I've had episodes in front of my boyfriend where I've thrown stuff around the room at him, and screamed at him about stuff I don't mean at all. when I come down from my panic I'm often overly affectionate to him and check up on him over call/text more frequently, and often get him gifts, but this is just how I don my best to show how sorry I am andt to really show him how much I love and care about him. At other times I've been so scared that because I'm so unstable it's just not good for me to be with him and that he deserves better but when I've brought this up with him he's always so accepting of my mental and doesn't want to break up. I feel like maybe my love bombing could be manipulative and even more emotionally damaging for him than I already I am but that's just how I show him that I still love him so much and that I really didn't mean anything I did/said in my episodes.
