How Love Bombing Creates Emotional Attachment Quickly In New Relationships
The success of love bombing exploits such human psychological instincts as validation, belonging, and emotional security. When one pours his/her love, care, and gratitude over another person, the reward system in the brain is activated. Dopamine and oxytocin are released, producing a sense of happiness and connection.
