Feelings, Narcissism, Relationships

101 love bombing lines and lies narcissistic men use to charm, disarm and dazzle their targets

The first days, weeks, months and sometimes even years with a narcissist (or an abuser) can be akin to living in a fairy tale.

They sweep you off your feet with compliments and declarations of love. They are extraordinarily charming and charismatic. You feel drawn to them like a magnet, they seem too good to be true, and it’s easy to fall under their spell again and again.

Narcissistic men are particularly drawn to compassionate, empathetic women. If those are your strengths, be wary of men who come on fast and intense and who serve up an endless stream of compliments and pronouncements of love – especially too early in a relationship.

If you feel like something’s “off,” it probably is. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

My intuition told me something was wrong right from the start. It told me to get out. I ignored my intuition. I listened instead to the seductive voice of a man who later emotionally abused me. Please don’t do as I did. Please save yourself a lot of pain, confusion and distress.

Yes, you are an amazing, beautiful, caring, compassionate woman who deserves to be loved, respected and cared for. And you deserve better than someone who is going to feed you a bunch of bull, and then turn around and manipulate, disrespect and abuse you.

Don’t fall for a barrage of lines and lies such as these that flow like honey from the mouth a narcissist in the love bombing phase:

If a narcissistic man is bombarding you with stuff like this (and/or with C&W music), watch out for the signs of devaluation that will inevitably follow. When you start to be devalued, or feel bad about yourself, RUN! As fast as you can! Don’t stay; like I did. Don’t take him back or go back once you have left; as I did. Five times.

If you have left an emotionally abusive relationship with a narcissistic man, and he tries to “hoover” you back with love bombing, remember the cycle will replay itself again.
