Episode: Bird Brain | S8E20(319): Friendship Bombing: When Love-Bombing Wears a Platonic Mask
Description: We talk a lot about love-bombing in dating—but what about when it happens in friendships? In this episode, we break down friendship bombing: the intense, all-in energy that seems caring at first but turns out to be another form of emotional manipulation. From instant besties to sudden ghosting, this is still attachment theory at work—just dressed in platonic clothing. If you've ever felt confused, drained, or betrayed by a “too-good-to-be-true” friendship… this one's for you.
