PSYCHOLOGY SAYS
Not every affection is healthy; sometimes sweet gestures can hide toxic intentions. Attention may feel comforting at first, but manipulation often begins with kindness that slowly turns into control.
A poisonous kind of love gives warmth while quietly draining confidence, peace, and self-worth. What looks like care on the surface can become emotional exhaustion over time.
Explanation:
Healthy affection uplifts and respects boundaries. When love consistently leaves you feeling smaller, anxious, or unsure of yourself, it may be attachment disguised as care.
