Agree with everything except the back flip. I'd be like "whoa that's pretty cool, everyone watch this". Maybe I'm the worst as well (laughs)

And also as a hot, badass woman, its hard to see through lovebombing because its like....right. this tracks. I am awesome and I deserve this.

Kelly you're a Sag and suppose to be cynical and have trust issues! The reflection thing is spot on. I see this in a lot of attention seekers I've known in my life. It's so obvious to me and people think you're an ass for pointing out the truth. The self tanner (love that!) reminds me of the movie 'The Other Woman' when they give the husband estrogen, replace his shampoo with hair-removal product and slips laxatives in his drink.

Thx Kelly. I only recently figured out that I’ve been in a “gaslighting & lovebombing” relationship, such a lovely combo! I’m currently getting myself out of the relationship - it only took me 3 yrs 😬- thx u for writing about this. #2 “GIF” example totally had me!

"The letters, the art, the songs, the stories, the trips, the flowers, the diamonds — that’s just them, reflecting how genuinely awesome they are, to themselves."

Oof. That landed harder than I expected.

Love you. Not in a lovebomb way but in a in-you-I-see-a-glimmer-of-what-I-hope-I-can-one-day-be kind of way.
