If you want someone to become addicted to you, use the Honeymoon-Discard Cycle. WARNING: This psychological manipulation is extremely dangerous and can severely damage a person’s emotional and mental well-being. This is NOT advice for use but knowledge for self-defense.
The Honeymoon-Discard Cycle is a form of psychological conditioning used to create emotional addiction in relationships. This method works by manipulating the brain’s reward system, creating an addiction similar to that of drugs. The key to executing it successfully is to first flood the target with intense affection before strategically withdrawing that affection, making them crave your validation like a starving addict desperate for a fix. In the beginning, you must love-bomb them to the point where they feel as though they’ve met the most incredible person in the world. Compliment them excessively, make them feel special, and be highly attentive. Your goal is to establish an emotional high that their brain will become dependent on. Everything about you should feel intoxicating—your attention, your touch, your words. They should feel like they’ve entered a world of euphoria where they are the center of your universe. The brain, flooded with dopamine and oxytocin, will form a powerful emotional bond that they will soon become desperate to maintain.
Once this bond is formed, you begin the second phase—subtle devaluation and emotional neglect. You don’t abandon them completely; instead, you reduce your attention in small, calculated ways. Respond to their texts more slowly, cancel plans occasionally, and start acting distant without explanation. This confuses them and triggers self-doubt. They begin to wonder, Did I do something wrong? Why is this person pulling away? The more they question their worth in your eyes, the harder they will try to win back your attention. This is where their addiction to you truly begins. Their mind will obsess over the contrast between the past and present—what they had with you before and what they are now losing. The fear of losing that initial intense connection will drive them into desperation, making them emotionally dependent on you in a way they don’t even realize.
Then comes the most brutal phase—the discard. You completely withdraw, offering them nothing but silence, indifference, or subtle rejection. You can ignore them outright, show sudden disinterest, or even begin flirting with others in their presence. At this point, their self-worth is tied to your approval, and your rejection will make them feel as if they are dying emotionally. Their brain, still wired to crave the dopamine rush you once provided, will spiral into anxiety and obsession. Some will beg for your attention, some will try to prove themselves, while others will become so emotionally destroyed that they will be willing to accept any form of mistreatment just to be near you again. Once they are completely broken, you restart the cycle—offering them sudden bursts of affection, making them feel hopeful again, only to pull away once more. Each repetition strengthens their addiction, ensuring that no matter how much pain you cause, they will keep coming back to you.
