Okay so like I never rlly understood this, maybe it's cus of my previous relationship but I suck at showing affection and care for ppl so i tell them instead of how much they're like dear and stuff to and since they often mean alot to me, it's an essay but anyways I learned that with my ex. They would often tell their friends how much he loves them and stuff and it seems wholesome but maybe it's manipulative somewhat- to me personally idk abt his friends. Due to that thing, I feel guilty when I get mad at them and I still do.
Someone told me that what I'm doing could be considered a "love bomb" and that it's awful so like now im confused on how else can I show affection like towards a friends and not necessarily a lover...
If I were you I'd just talk to your friends about how you like to express affection and ask how they feel about it, like maybe they find it endearing or they don't really like it. Perhaps mention love bombing and get their opinion on it. Idk man communication saves lives... Or I'm just misunderstanding the question I haven't slept in a while 1 reply
For me the variable is always speed. If your gut is telling you that this feels fast, then maybe it's okay to take a step back. And there's no harm in asking too for their opinion too. If I'm misunderstanding something pls tell me. reply
