There’s a kind of love that comes into your life like a storm.
Too much attention. Too many promises. Endless messages. Constant reassurance.
At first, it feels magical. You feel chosen. Seen. Special.
This is what people call love bombing—though when you’re inside it, it doesn’t feel like a warning. It feels like love.
Until it doesn’t.
One day, the warmth fades without explanation.
The person who once couldn’t stop talking to you suddenly goes quiet.
Replies become delayed. Conversations feel forced.
And worse than silence—sometimes you’re ignored while they’re clearly available.
Then comes the shift in behavior.
The same person who once treated you like the most important thing in their world now treats you like an inconvenience.
Your feelings are dismissed.
Your questions are called “overthinking.”
Your presence feels unwanted.
You start asking yourself painful questions:
- Did I do something wrong?
- Was I too much?
- Why am I suddenly not enough?
This is the most dangerous part of love bombing—not the excessive love, but the emotional withdrawal that follows.
The inconsistency keeps you hooked. You hold on, hoping the old version of them will come back.
But here’s the truth I had to learn the hard way:
Real love doesn’t punish you with silence.
Real love doesn’t confuse you on purpose.
Real love doesn’t make you feel worthless after making you feel everything.
Someone who truly cares doesn’t swing between extremes—adoration one day, neglect the next.
They don’t make you feel like you have to earn basic respect.
If someone is making you feel small after making you feel special, that’s not love.
That’s control.
That’s emotional manipulation.
And you don’t deserve it.
Walking away from someone who love bombed you is hard—because you’re not just leaving a person, you’re letting go of a version of them that felt perfect.
But choosing yourself is not losing love.
It’s choosing peace, clarity, and self-respect.
And that kind of love?
You’ll never regret choosing it.
