This is a grooming tactic called "Hugboxing", by the way They shower the target with validation and superficial affection to lower their defenses, making it easier for them to violation boundaries later on and to isolate them from people who will actually help them, such as friends or family members who will be honest but critical with them It's very similar to the most standard grooming strategy, "you're so special", "you're so mature for your age", "your parents don't understand you, only I understand you", but replace "I" with "we" Men are particularly vulnerable to this tactic because we get barely any compliments from anyone our whole lives
