The term "love bombing" combines "love" with "bombing," suggesting an intense and overwhelming burst of something. It was first used in psychological and social contexts to describe manipulative behavior. In modern usage, it refers to giving excessive affection, attention, or gifts to someone, especially at the beginning of a relationship, in order to gain influence or control. Although it may seem positive at first, it is often considered a warning sign of unhealthy or manipulative relationship dynamics.
