Love bombing is a classic technique used by manipulative narcissists. The hallmarks are usually excessive praise, compliments, and inappropriately expensive gifts. The aim is to ensnare the victim during this small moment of happiness so the devaluation and discard phase can be all the more cruel and wounding. But did you know that love bombing is tailored to the potential victim? It may look nothing like the commonly accepted over-the-top praise that most people expect from Cluster B folks.

After being convinced that I had never been love bombed, my therapist helped me discover how my narcissist studied my personality and love bombed me in the way that would be the most effective and eventually inflict the most damage. Has this sneaky love bombing happened to you or someone you love?
