Love you lots Dr Ramani๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ you are saving the lives of many๐
How can you not feel angry at yourself for being like the most naive person and the cause of your own exploitation because you believed in humanity but then not allow yourself to trust it? ๐คฏ My head aches from putting this into words.
I’m glad you could sum this up for me because. All of this! Total truth.
Exactly โค
๐ข I hear you. Iโve been talking to a young lady who got totally sucked in to a love bombing relationship for 7 years!! She had no idea of what was happening to her. What a beautiful spirit this young lady is!
I totally understand what you mean. And I think thatโs why the most challenging part for those who have been deceived is self-forgiveness. Because when you realize that you’ve projected your deepest and most innocent wishes onto someone or something that took advantage of them, it can lead to a deep sense of self-betrayal and self-hatred, which might take years to get fully healed.
@ Iโm going to pass this on Ty!
This is quite fascinating. I was in a weird place & he love bombed me but it also felt like we just fitted. It was kinda like “I see you” love bombing… No anger, nothing passive aggressive… Just one weird comment after a few months… He asked me questions constantly & learnt all about me… He always checked on me… He wanted to know every time I got home…But he never told me when he got home… It was an issue…
He sounds like a narc.
Thank you for making this journey possible and sharing your knowledge with us Dr. Ramaniโค
What Iโve learned from this is the importance of being authenticโnot only to others but also to myself. If I know who I truly am, then no one could deceive me with love-bombing. Often, the reason people fall for manipulative tricks stems from issues deep within themselves.
I don’t date because I don’t want to deal with these types of people. My life is much better.
ANY time anyone, male or female, comes on strong right out of the gate, I am on guard. It’s just weird..they barely know you and you’re the best thing they’ve ever seen. If you “can’t stop thinking about” me, I suggest you stop that right now and get a hobby.
The personal reasons and dynamics of why we are getting into the relationship are SO crucial. I didnโt have the self awareness 28 years ago that could have prevented me from getting into and stuck in a narcissistic longterm marriage. Iโm almost out of of it now ๐๐ผ๐ซโจ๐
“I see you” because they’re going to prey on you later. They see you in order to gather information on your vulnerabilities and on what kind of supply they can get.
TRUTH.

This is something where I can’t say that I’m going to spot every narcissist. I might spot many more of them. And I think that I do. But it takes awhile. All narcissists don’t all act the same at first. But after a while I’ve seen common behaviors. I guess that the best signs are within ourselves that we are being manipulated. And once seen the other signs just start cascading in.
Narcissists and psychopaths have different styles but there is always something off about them, something pushy and controlling, their intense eyes, their eyes are full of rage and conviction, they are too grandiose or too self pity. The gut instinct is the wise compass from millions of years of evolution. Over the years, I have learn to trust my gut instinct 100%. Interesting fact: the final target of Ted Bundy got him caught and convicted after he has gotten more than 30 women, this final target stated “he was handsome, charming, nice, and sweet, but something didn’t feel right, something was off about him” she is the final target that got him caught and convicted, her being logical and trusting her gut instinct save her life.
Thank you for this awesome video! Yes. Know thyself. ๐๐ฝ
see it coming and you are safe . so learn to see .
I don’t trust anyone anymore
No problem there! I am very love bomb resistant at this point in my life. Enjoy my peace and quiet living on my own with my own mini animal sanctuary, so not really alone. ๐ If you’re in a toxic relationship and trying to get out, I’m hoping the very best for you. Once you make it out, you’ll feel better than ever!!
Wow I was always curious about different type of love bombing because my ex was broke so he couldnโt buy me things at the beginning of the relationship, but he overwhelmed me with daily texts and spending A LOT of quality time. Even wanting to go grocery shopping with me or run errands. Iโve never had someone want to do those things with me so I fell for it. He was also very curious, always asking a million questions about me and about what Iโm doing every day.
Now I know where I went wrong and how to notice it in the future when I start dating again.
Okay he did every single one of these tactics over the three years we were together.
Never tell suitors what your truest desires in a relationship are. They will conform and mimic what you want. Itโs deceitful at its core. See them in their natural environment. I learned the hard way by being extremely honest. I didnโt know there were people like this ๐ขโผ๏ธ
No way this just came up on yt
Just spent 2 weeks keeping to myself and had to repeat myself about needing space
It’s my birthday in a few days and a present has been dropped off along with msgs of I miss you.
Felt for a second, have I got this wrong, but stepped back into ma power and gave no emotion away in my response.
It’s a neighbour
There’s 2 of them
Am happy to say thanks to Dr Ramani and this community for the strength to own these feelings and not betray my spirit, never again.
I greive my old joyful self
But thankful in a way for this painful experience making me stronger
Being a toxic people magnet drains all your energy. Which also taught me that being naive is more dangerous than being alone. I’m trying to not care about other people’s opinion or inputs, if their actions don’t match what they say. And i learnt that lesson because of one relationship where i went against my own intuition and my judgement with that person. And love bombing is how i got entangled with that person and wasting my time and energy and sanity. she ended up cheating on me and got married within few months after the break up. And her friends thought i was the bad guy for breaking up. I have not shared about this experience to many people in my life except to couple of my close friends. I regret being quiet and minding my own things because that has allowed that person to form a narrative behind my back. I’m starting to believe that many such toxic people get away with lot of bad things unlike the fairy tale ending that bad people get punished. This channel has helped me gain some clarity about how to spot toxic behavior and how to see people for who they really are. Thanks again and very much appreciated ๐. I will try to buy your book when i can, professor. thank you very much.
