I’m talking about the person on the receiving end of love bombing. They usually see it as really flattering and exhilarating, it doesn’t feel like a boundary violation usually. It feels like a fairytale. That’s why it tends to work as a tactic of manipulation if it’s used by a narcissist. But if it’s used by a person who has anxious attachment it could come off as needy, or if it’s used by someone who is just effusive and demonstrative in their affection or they just have gift giving or words of affirmation as a love language it could be part of a healthy expression of NRE.
