Emotional reactions can certainly stimulate reciprocal and elevated responses. The more one can be observed being impacted by the individual looking to evoke a response, the more the response fuels the individual. Very sad and toxic

Validation-seeking: needing proof of desirability or importance.

Intermittent reinforcement: unpredictable responses that deepen attachment.

Trauma bonding or limerence: intense fixation fueled by emotional highs and lows rather than real intimacy.
