    Because there seems to be confusion here... this video is not encouraging people to do this. It is educating people so they can avoid this. As stated in part one of my mind games series, no one wins when these techniques are used. The only thing I am encouraging you to do in this video is to be more aware and if using my Audible code to listen to my book :) or others, helps with that, AWESOME

      If you have been love starved all relationships start off as a love bomb. Especially if you choose somebody who isnt as love starved as you are. For somebody who is love starved they are more hyper sensitive to gestures of affection than someone who recieves affection on a regular basis. If you recieve affection on a regular basis it loses its value(withdrawal). So to make a long stary short; your perception of what a love bomb is equavilant to the amount of love you recieve or dont recieve. Your experiences is what shapes your idea of normal. If your isolated(starving) your idea of over the top love could be you being treated like a human for once, and somebody love bombing you could be because they rarely see the good in people. Example: for someone who is love starved they fall in love before the relationship starts, so when the relationship starts its very intense because they have had more time to plan and fantasize (Hints the purpose of the starvation: self preservation) Now imagine laying that level of intensity on somebody who doesnt experience such large gaps between partners. Its not going to take long before you both come to the same conclusion "something is wrong with you", and the rest is history given on how our "tribal" way of thinking treats people with difference. If there was a song for the love starved it would be Marvin Gaye-I want you.
      PS love bombing is real, but trauma will have you remembering people you have never met.

To target US because we are the perfect prey. I'm learning narcissistic techniques to keep me in the loop. And also to use them because I'm a fucking doormat. NARCISSISTS SUCK! One guy RUINED my life. Or whatever. I can never find myself sucked into any toxic situation.

    This has been done to me so many times. It’s crazy after the neglect just when you’re starting to regain yourself (so you think) they pop back up feeding that part of your ego to where you’re willing to believe excuses about being ghosted for 5 days... even a whole month. I did the dumbest thing over the summer where I encountered a guy like this... he’d send me good morning texts, Text all day etc. Then, everyday turned into every other day, to a few times a week and so on to where it had been weeks. So, I did the dumbest thing after a month and I texted him a long paragraph telling him how I felt smh. He came back with excuses, I let him back in and he did it again. At that point I had to face my own insecurities and change my accessibility to him. Your presence is indeed a present and you deserve so much more than a person to constantly D.E.N.N.I.S you.

    It's very similar to the phases of a narcissistic relationship - idealization/love bombing, devaluation, and discard. I think it ends there or they go back and forth, but I think that if you are aware of it and don't fall helplessly into the empath/victim role, then you can maybe turn the tables and have control over them if you want to try dancing it out with them.

    DENNIS Theory
    D : Demonstrate Value. Find a way to make yourself indispensable, interesting and or worth having around.
    E : Engage in an investment. Getting someone to do something so that they'll seek an ROI (Return on investment)
    N : Nurture Dependence. Through (a), being someone they can rely on and talk to or (b) by isolating them, creating an us-versus-them dynamic.
    N : Neglect emotionally (periodically). Inconsistent reward creates addiction.
    I : Inspire hope. Give them a small dopamine hit.
    S : Separate entirely. Disappearing until you want to approach them again.

    I really like that these types of manipulations are being shared to people who are interested in dating, literally my dream as a survivor from this type of abuse. I feel like all dating advice should start with these warnings.
    Someday I hope that emotional abuse is just as well known to people as physical/sexual abuse. Getting this advice into dating and relationship resources and out of the "healing from narcissistic abuse" echo chambers is the first big step.
    I like that you point out that people can be both the victim and abuser by asking your audience at the end. It's also really important that as the victim of this type of abuse you understand why you attract and stay in this kind of abuse.

    Yeah man had a friend do this to me. They were physically moving to another state and I went out of my way to come see them before they left and they ignored me. It took me about 20 minutes of sitting in front of their house to realize that they never intended to say goodbye to me and they had been making less and less effort to see me weeks leading up to leaving. At that moment, I realized that I only want friendships were I feel enthusiastically wanted-never where I'm unsure. My closest and longest friends never make me feel unsure. So I drove home and texted that them I was leaving. Months later they texted me as if nothing happened. They were confused by my absence and lack of interest in responding to them. Eventually we talked it out but by then I didn't care anymore and had looked back and could recognize other patterns in their behavior that didn't sit with me well and it all made sense. I don't think they had malicious intent but this person was older than me and it the second distinct time I was put in the position of being the one to go out of my way to fight for the friendship so it wasn't worth it to. I'm not interested in chasing anyone. I don't deserve that. Lesson learned. No one is *that* cool or interesting.

      I had that with a friend as well!! Even towards the beginning of our friendship I felt like aspects of this person was off, but I just felt like we had so much fun together that if God wanted us to not be friends, then I’d get the clear communication to let them go. It took 2 years. I now believe that I had to experience this friend to learn about my own patterns of accepting persons like that into my life. It’s been a life long pattern for me, but this year I just had enough of the manipulative tactics. Releasing toxic energy in my space🙌🏽 I pray the same for you and may you keep and attract the friends that genuinely love you without hidden motives. Sending warm light energy✨💎

    I dated someone once that was doing the whole DENNIS theory. I was so aware of how insecure I was beginning to feel in myself. I realised this person was manipulative and abusive. I did not feel safe. They went from being super complimentary and attentive, to dead cold with barely any contact immediately after becoming intimate. I put some distance between us after an abusive call from him following A near physically abusive altercation. 2 weeks later after hearing nothing from me, this person sent me a WhatsApp message "hey stranger" trying to reel me back in as Shan described. I never ever responded. I was done. This put me on the path to look deeper at myself and the nature of dating. The terrifying thing is this all happened within the short period of 4 WEEKS. I nearly, completely lost my entire sense of self in under a month. I was literally a toy for him to play with and nothing more.

      Saint del Deezy some of these handsome men are actually the devil in disguise . Literslly when I’m trying to do well some sexy ass dude comes along .. and brings me down. Makes me feel like I’m not good enough. But after so many lessons I finally realized you reslly gotta love yourself and tell yourself you’re amazing and there’s people who reslly are here to try to ruin you . Thanks to them I reslly hardened up my heart and now I gotta reslly protect yourself . Even if it’s a fling. I tried to do that and it backfired. It’s just never a good thing . It messed you up spiritual. I know I got needs but seriously it’s not worth sleeping with someone you know is not good enough for you and doesn’t deserve your loving

    No one wants to live safely in love anymore.
    Just games, manipulation, and quest for a "bag" or two. A woman is only as valuable as her potential to earn these days. But money comes and goes... whereas the heart, spirit, and emotional intelligence sides of a human being are more valuable by far...
    People are annoying.

    thanks so much for explaining. Sad to say but my ex bf played this same trick on me and I'm a little embarrassed to even tell others bc we were together for 2 1/2 years and I really thought I loved him and he felt the same way. He def had some narcissism in him. Eventually, I saw the red flags, even the ones i didn't want to acknowledge, and I had to get away. I will admit he helped me grow in a way no one else has ever helped me and he was a little mad that he "invested" so much in me for it to end how it did. I thanked him actually and told him that I'll be using the good he taught me to get what I want in life and the bad to help me not fall victim to this bullshit again. Thank you Shan BOODY!!!

    I was Dennis'd, but after a few years got back with the guy. We're still kicking it, and closer now than we were before BUT a few months ago, I called him out on how he did me last time and told him, "if you meet someone new, just be a fucking friend and a man and let me know"... Then he got all quiet and awkward, talking about how he wouldn't want to lose my friendship, and if either of us met someone else (ps, we're long distance) we could still hang and visit... I answered that with a big NO THANK YOU. Felt so empowered, and honestly, being upfront with him and acknowledging how I felt has made me feel so powerful in our interactions now. He's my best friend, but I stand ready to walk away from him for good if need be. Same goes for anyone. Its empowering to not feel like you need any of these people who all have the potential to drain you dry...

    My heart is heavy I can’t believe I let this happen to me. I was blinded by her charm and character she was was portraying to be. I went from someone who she said was a blessing to someone she pushed away. I was left wondering what I did wrong when things were going so well then all of a sudden she distant herself. For days we didn’t talk and when we talk I couldn’t help to feel upset with her not communicating. She would turn around and try to put blame or she would say I was pressing her. Mind you I live in San Francisco and she’s in LA I would of thought if she really cared she would make an effort. But all I can do is learn from this and move on

      Maybe that is the tactic used against you. You maybe convinced yourself you dont care to date and people bore you so you wont be hurt. Not wanting to date and not bringing yourself to do it doesnt correlate with boredom as much as fear of being taken advantage of. Staying the hard one, cold as ice, or the first one to be bored seems safe but its really just avoidance. This is not to say that some of us actually dont want relationships and are totally okay with that. Life can be complete for some people without having one but I tend to think most people want to experience one if they never have before so something caused the decision to not be bothered with it. Just butting in, hope you dont mind. I apologize for the psychoanalysis and only throwing around thoughts. Any feedback? thanks

    I definitely experienced this with my first love interest. He was 5 years older than me and I was an inexperienced freshman in college. Things were great and the beginning and slowly but surely he started with the inconsistent rewards. It took years to get out of the cycle but I finally confronted him about his behavior and cut him off. The crazy part is he still tries to reach out to me all of these years later. If given the chance I’m sure he would start the cycle all over again.

Once you’re done, he won’t have that power over you anymore and it will be so relieving! Also don’t feel too bad for spending so much time on him, it’s not too late to move on and have new experiences.

Then out of the blue just started being distant, acting like she doesn't want me to touch her, or talk to her, but then "gave the hope" would come over and joke around and then back being cold...2 months of this....All the while I am asking what is wrong? If you can't tell me, write it down. If you can't do that, tell me when you will feel comfortable talking about it....she took none of those options, meanwhile I was getting tension headaches, anxiety attacks, losing weight etc. So one day I had had enough...
