Is Lack of love causing you to fill your void with breadcrumbs of love
Many have grown up with distracted, overworked, exhausted parents who couldn’t give the support n love needed. And we have a void.
We seek to fill this void with anything we can: food, alcohol, and many times relationships.
Anyone who gives us breadcrumbs of love becomes the center of our world. You are not broken, damaged, or naive. You just weren’t given the internal compass for healthy love
At a young age you might:
1.Feel like you were adopted or don’t belong
2. Fantasize about belonging to a tv family
3. Have a level of secrecy or discomfort sharing yourself
4. Spent a lot of time outside the home
5. Wished you had involved parents
Children who were love- starved can be vulnerable to love bombing as adults. When they meet someone who makes big promises, moves quickly, and comes on very strong, it can feel like they’re finally getting loved in the way they needed to be loved.
When treated badly, they continue to try to make the relationship work. They over-give and accept breadcrumbs of love because they were conditioned to believe that is what they deserve.
This a natural response to childhood emotional neglect. It’s not something to shame yourself over. Your younger self needs understanding
You can heal. You can learn to discern, take it slow, and build relationships where you stop over-giving and under-receiving. This can be the underlying factor causing the dynamics of your relationships with others to always look the same. Think about it.
