Abuse breeds loyalty. Why does your rational mind tell you that the other person is hurting you, yet you can't leave them? Because you are trapped in "traumatic bonding"; this is not love but emotional manipulation. The other person often subjects you to emotional harm such as cold violence, belittling, and neglect. However, just when you are at your most desperate, they give you a little tenderness, validation, or intermittent affection. The cycle of punishment and reward alternates, sometimes even reversing the order. Over time, you may mistake this extreme emotional experience for profound and intense love, even becoming addicted. The cruel aspect of traumatic bonding is that it instills a deep fear of loss while simultaneously creating a longing for that little bit of tenderness, ultimately trapping you in a relationship that is both painful and dependent, making it difficult to extricate yourself. #Gate Alpha晒单挑战# #Gate上线Ondo专区现货交易# #非农就业数据来袭#
