Listen "#22 - Love bombing or obsessive cycle? The truth about modern dating patterns"
Episode Synopsis
We talk about love bombing like it’s something that just happens to us. But what if it’s not that simple? In this episode, I’m unpacking why I believe “love bombing” isn’t as simple as one manipulator and one victim, it’s often two people caught in the same obsessive cycle. One giving, one receiving, both chasing the high of validation. I share my own story of spiralling thoughts, the need for validation, and why I think modern dating culture feeds these addictive patterns, ghosting, breadcrumbing, constant contact, dopamine hits...and here’s the kicker: obsession isn’t love, and it’s definitely not romance. It’s a cycle that needs healing, not romanticising.If you’ve ever found yourself swept up in the rush of someone new only to crash just as hard, this episode might help you see the pattern for what it really is, and give you a new perspective on how to break free from it.Thanks for tuning into That Makeup Gal!
