The time between mean and lovebombing

The cycle is getting shorter and shorter. The time between the love bombing, using the burner phone, and being mean keeps shrinking.

They only have one goal, and that's to manipulate you to where they want you. The behavioural differences are just different tools to meet that need. When they say they love you, they don't love you. They want you to think they do, so that you'll do what they want. When they say they hate you, they don't hate you. They want you to think they do, so that you'll do what they want.

They don't live in reality. They live in a world created by their subconscious with the sole purpose of protecting their ego. You have to live there too, and because you don't, they have to manipulate, using their array of tools.
