@teresondupuy: They may not have love-bombed you on purpose. They may have genuinely felt something for you. They were excited. They were lit up. They were in the chemistry of connection. Dopamine. Oxytocin. Serotonin. Norepinephrine. Endorphins. All of those love chemicals and bonding hormones can start moving through the brain and body when someone feels desire, connection, attraction, novelty, and emotional intensity. So of course they wanted more. Of course they leaned in. Of course they opened up. Of course it felt real. Because in that moment, it probably was. But then the intensity starts to settle. The dopamine starts to drop. The fantasy starts becoming reality. The nervous system starts realizing, “Oh, this is not just excitement anymore. This is intimacy.” And that is when fear rises. That is when avoidant patterns can start speaking. What if I lose myself? What if I get trapped? What if they need too much? What if I am not enough? What if this becomes real? And suddenly, the same person who was reaching for you starts pulling away from you. Not every connection is meant to last forever. Sometimes it was real and still not sustainable. Sometimes they cared and still could not continue. Sometimes they felt the chemistry but did not have the capacity. And maybe the lesson for you is not to distrust love. Maybe the lesson is to take it slower next time. To let consistency reveal character. To let time reveal capacity. To let actions prove what chemistry can only promise. Because it takes two people to participate in a connection. And it takes two emotionally available people to actually build one. If you want to stop confusing chemistry with safety and come back to wholeness after heartbreak, get my workbook, Finding Wholeness After Heartbreak, available with the link in my bio. #LoveBombing #AvoidantAttachment #HeartbreakHealing #Dating #patterns
