Originally posted on: INTERNATIONAL Survivors of Sociopaths OR Domestic violence HEALING Thank you to Macasy C. What is love bombing? Love bombing is so called because of the CONSTANT bombardment of communication from the sociopath. This can take many forms. Excessive texting, constant comments on your social network page, emails, telephone calls, or just literally bombarding you verbally in face to face communication. He might overwhelm you with gifts and will constantly flatter you. It feels overwhelming, you are swept off your feet. At first you will not perceive this as bombardment. You will initially be flattered that he is paying so much attention to you. He will leave you small love notes, send you sweet texts, it is like something from a movie. That’s because it is like that, its more fiction than reality. Already he has assessed you, and he is now mirroring you, so he is reflecting back to you exactly what you want to hear. But he wants control over you. He wouldn’t have your full attention or control, if you were busy doing other things. This is an important manipulation tool for a sociopath, love bombing does the following things. It doesn’t give you time to think about what is really happening It doesn’t give you time to spend with others It isolates you It gives a false impression of the sociopath, within a short space of time It moves the relationship forward very quickly (often before you are ready)
