‘Breadcrumbing’ is a subtle manipulation technique used to create a one-sided relationship. Here’s how to spot it.
However, the good news is that there are some key signs that make it easy to spot. Writing for, communication professor Preston Ni shares the five most obvious signs of breadcrumbing, and what to do if you experience them.If someone in your life is constantly blowing hot and cold, that can take an emotional toll.
As Li puts it: “In many cases, breadcrumbing may affect relational dependence, where the victim keeps looking for the breadcrumber to dangle the next morsel of false hope to maintain the illusion of positive relationship. Being ‘breadcrumbed,’ regardless of the relationship context, can be difficult to deal with emotionallyWhen you’re being breadcrumbed, because you’re so dependent on the other person’s whim, you might often find yourself waiting – for the breadcrumber to text or call, to follow-through on a long held promise, or to finally show commitment in a relationship. This is never a nice experience, and can lead to greater feelings of rejection or inadequacy.
If you find yourself in this situation, Li advises asking yourself: “Do I deserve better than the way I’m being treated in this relationship?”
