Let's just say... I have met some people in my lifetime (as short as it is, so far).

It is a possibility. One thing I have learned in my short time on this planet is that "it's a small world" is an apt saying. People I don't think I'd ever run into (or run into again) cross my paths at odd intervals and places.1 -

Well I suppose your friend would be hunting my friend. Hunting vampires is a wee bit different from thinking you are a vampire.
I have crossed his path twice since I stopped being friends with him but it’s because he lives in that area. 😓
Although I never run unto people I wanna see hmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔0 -

If every ex was the crazy one in the relationship. Also love bombing or other narcissistic traits.3

Control freaks who never can admit to being possibly just maybe a little bit wrong.2

It feels AMAZING while it’s happening. But then when they go on to their other narcissistic traits…pulling away, cutting off contact, gaslighting, triangulating…it’s awful. But don’t worry, they almost ALWAYS come back (gotta get that narcissistic feed you know!) and Hoover and love bombing begins all over again! (Spoiler alert….it’s not worth dealing with that for 71 years. But they come back and love bomb just long enough to make you feel like it might be.)3 -

😭 You did the calculation lol
In this scenario, I was wondering whether I was the love bomber though. While I don't do any of the stuff mentioned in the article I found...

... it's unfortunate that a phrase as cute as love bombing can be a descriptor for something so detrimental.
If you went through that, @MelG7777, that sucks and I'm sorry 😔2 -

Oh if YOU are the love bomber, that’s different. 😈 I’m open to that.
You mentioned loving the person….I only have slight knowledge on narcissism and their traits. I started watching a dr on YouTube a few months ago and it’s made sense of so many things throughout my life. So many things. But my understanding is, you couldn’t “really really really love” the person. People like that are almost incapable of love. They love what people can do for them in regards to feeding their narcissism. And they will find it where they can. And even if the “feeder” does a “good job” the narcissist will almost always get board and go looking for others sources. They are notorious for cheating.
So anywho…..maybe love bombing CAN be as cute as it sounds if it’s coming from someone with pure intentions. And going to someone likewise?5 -

i been hearing this phrase often lately, like a baader–meinhof kind of deal, but just now sat down to read about it cause of the link and tbh im conflicted because i do consider myself a narcissist, but i also strive to do the opposite of stuff on that list too.3 -

That would be more of a grandiose narcissistic trait. Maybe you’re more of a covert? There are several kinds….Do not fret, I’m sure if we work we could find you a good spot in the narcissist spectrum!4 -
