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. Researchers call this attachment weaponisation. The unsettling part is that it isn't always obvious while it's happening. It can feel completely organic, right up until you realise how much invisible obligation got built into it along the way. What is attachment weaponisation?

🧩 THE SELF-RESPECT STOCK MARKET™

 


A Daily Market Report on How Your Confidence Is Trading… and What (or WHO) Is Causing It to Crash

Welcome to the world’s first mental-health stock exchange.

Everyone tracks:

  • crypto

  • stocks

  • steps

  • calories

But who the hell is tracking their self-respect?


📈 What Is the Self-Respect Stock Market™?

Simple:

👉 Your self-respect is a stock that goes up and down depending on your decisions.

Every action is either:

  • a Buy (raises your value),

  • a Sell (lowers it), or

  • a Market Crash (you know who causes this).

You literally become the CEO of You, Inc.

And every day you get a Self-Respect Closing Price.

Tell me anyone on the internet doing that.
Nobody.
This is NEW territory.

💵 BUY ACTIONS (Your value goes UP)

These increase your personal share price:

  • Saying no

  • Blocking a narcissist

  • Cleaning your kitchen

  • Drinking water instead of chaos

  • Going to bed instead of arguing

  • Paying a bill

  • Sticking to one tiny habit

  • Walking away from disrespect

  • Doing literally ANYTHING that your future self would high-five you for

Every Buy adds +5 to +20 points.

🔻 SELL ACTIONS (Your value goes DOWN)

These tank your confidence like a meme coin in a scandal:

  • Texting your ex

  • Letting someone guilt-trip you

  • Breaking your own boundaries

  • Emotional spending

  • Saying yes when you meant hell no

  • Ignoring your instincts

  • Entertaining red flags because you’re bored

  • Diet starting Monday (again)

Sell actions cost -5 to -30 points.

💥 MARKET CRASH EVENTS (Instant -50)

You know these moments:

  • Answering a call you shouldn’t

  • Going back to someone who hurt you

  • Letting someone manipulate you again

  • Spirals triggered by toxic humans

  • Reading a message that ruins your entire mood

  • Taking responsibility for someone else’s crap

These are your Black Fridays.
Your Lehman Brothers moments.
Your “Girl, why?!” events.

Add them to the chart.

📊 Daily Self-Respect Closing Price

At the end of the day you calculate:

Opening Value

  • Buys
    – Sells
    – Market Crashes
    = Closing Price

Interpretation:

  • 80–100: Bull Market — Confidence booming

  • 60–79: Steady Growth — Strong emotional economy

  • 40–59: Volatile Market — Caution advised

  • 20–39: Recession — Boundary bailout needed

  • 0–19: Full Collapse — File for emotional bankruptcy and start again tomorrow
