Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident

Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident I never noticed the closeness being built. I just assumed it was love, and assumed what I owed because of it, without either of us ever saying it out loud. Short version: Trauma bonding is usually described as something that happens to you, almost by accident, through unpredictable reward. A 2025 Cambridge study, interviewing eighteen women with sustained attachment to abusive partners, found something sharper underneath that: the closeness itself is often deliberately constructed early on, specifically so it can be exploited later.

What’s the best way to deal with negative people

 Is there someone in your life that is negative about every thing? !!!

Unfortunately I have a lot of negative people in my life I can’t just get rid of so I’ve learnt a few coping mechanisms.

First of all, ALWAYS SMILE- this may sound a bit weird but If you smile and make a joke of everything they can’t be negative as people mirror each other.

If they come out with a negative comment, don’t mirror them but think of the most positive thing you can say to delete their negativity

If their persistent with their negativity find someone to have a laugh with and make them join in, they will find it really hard to be negative if there are 2 positives

And lastly to break the negativity make a joke of them in a positive way. They will instantly chill

It’s hard but possible -  just keep doing it until they see you as a positive person
