Some people here dont even seem to know what clingy means. No clingy does not mean abusively controling. No clingy does not mean a stalker. |

You dont have to be in a relationship for there to be clingyness. It can be friends or aquantances too |

traed said: You dont have to be in a relationship for there to be clingyness. It can be friends or aquantances too You're absolutely right. But don't confuse adoration and clinging. There is no good clinging. The only people who find good in clinging have some personal issues with being loved to validate themselves. A minor stockholm syndrome I would even consider it. |

I dont mind if someone wants to talk to me all day long and says they need me. I only consider it bad if they get mad at me or i cant stop talking for five seconds without them going nuts over it. |

The first part of that is adoration. The second part is clinging. They are not both clinginess. When someone takes affection and smothers you with it to a point where it invades your personal life as an individual. That is clingy. But just having that affection in the first place and uses reasonable ways to express it, is in no way a clinger. |

Lol...... that yandere shit though. I think it all depends on the person(s). Like a lot of times clingy girls are annoying as hell. But friends.......sometimes it's good. Like me and my best friends are really tight and do a ton if stuff together. I don't really know if that could be described as clingy, but whenever we are around each other we stick close, so I guess it could be. I think if you've known the person a really long time and are friends then its all cool. But having a person who you don't really like, don't know that well or just met be clingy is annoying. #yuno |

I don't know where you people get that idea from. It's when you take that to the extreme where they invade boundaries and rationality. The line between clinging or adoration is often a matter of perspective though. If you don't share the intensity of their feelings or same desire to be around each other, those same healthy behaviors in one relationship will be suffocating and invasive in another. I do know a couple who rarely spend any time together. They never go to the same group events or have much time together outside of work but they are happy. To me, that is baffling. I would be miserable with that level of independence but then they probably view our preference for each others company as clingy. Adoration is clinging that is appreciated by the recipient. |

Clinging is obsession. Simple as that. Are you obsessed? Is it impacting your social relationship negatively? Yes or no. If yes then cling. If no then not cling. Sure you can have people that show "adoration" more aggressively or less aggressively then what is considered normal. But if there are no negative permutations, one can make the case that is is not clinginess. But I would tread lightly on that, much like how you mentioned treading lightly about more "apart" relationships. There is a reason why the "normal healthy relationship" is the normal healthy relationship stereotype. Outliers can be there sure, but I would still be wary of the true motives of those aspects. |

Cottonrabbit said: Six or Seven text messages: "How come you hate me now" "Where are you" "Where are you" "Fine don't talk to me" "Fuck you" "What did I do wrong. As a person who has done something like this in the past, I hope I can say one or two helpful words for people struggling with displaying this kind of behaviour in a current relationship. No, I am not saying they are the victims. I am simply saying that they have a problem that they need help with. This is all from my own experience, not an expert answer backed up by anything. The first step is, although a cliché, to recognize that you have a problem. If you can not do that, you will find excuses to continue your behaviour, such as: "I am feeling extremely bad, and I want to tell the other person how I feel about them not text messaging me in the morning. This is not how I deserve to feel in a relationship, thus it is ok for me to text them." These excuses, while sometimes may appear justified, more often than not lead to out of hand abusive behaviour, such as the quoted text. Recognizing that these excuses are not good, and that your behaviour is destructive to your relationship and hurtful to your partner (not only because they get hurt, but also because they are pushed away from the person they love), is the first step. The second step is then realizing that since your behaviour is a problem, the bad feelings you initially get from not acting like that (yes, there will be strong bad feelings) are healthy and necessary for you to change to be a better person. So next time you get overwhelmed with feelings of paranoia when you don't know where your partner is, suspecting them of cheating for no good reason, just zip it. Let the bad feelings come and experience them. It is okay to feel bad, not all necessary feelings in life are comfortable feelings. A person who never feels negative feelings is either living in a fairytale story, or will never develop as a person. Once you continue like this, you will be able to stop the symptoms of your abusive behaviour. The third step is to think what really caused the possessive behaviour. For example: If your partner is talking to someone else, do you feel threatened? - Why do you feel threatened, do you not see the good qualities in yourself that your partner loves? Then ask your partner. - Do you think that there is something you lack in, that makes you insecure? Then start bettering yourself and get your partner to support you. - Do you feel like your partner isn't showing enough affection? Talk about it (but do NOT guilt, blame, or control. just simply tell them how you feel). etc. NOTE: If your insecurities stem from something your partner has done, be it cheating or anything else DO NOT BLAME/GUILT THEM. Your behaviour is your responsibility and if you cannot constructively deal with the past, leave the relationship. Just use your brain and think, why do you feel how you feel. This can be done alone, you don't necessarily need your partner for this, especially since they might be already extremely fed up with your behaviour. Important: Once you get over your behaviour, don't be be discouraged that you had it. By getting over it, you are much stronger in this area than a person who has never had to think about their behaviour in this area. You have become more self-aware, which is a gain. Be sure to tell your partner about your newly gained understanding of your behviour, how you have changed, and properly apologize for what you have done in the past, showing that you understand them. You need to work hard now to bring back a sense of security for your partner, and this can take any amount of time, depending on your partner. Be patient, this is a problem you caused. I hope the above helps some out there. To answer the other OT questions, I tend to like my partner as clingy, but anyone else would be too much. I used to be a clingy person, due to some insecurities, but I worked on myself and got past it. Edit: grammer, minor additions |

I'm rather distant in any type of relationship in the beginning. However, as soon as a (fairly long) time has passed, and as soon as I made sure at least 666 times that the other person would have no problem with me being clingy (in case it might happen in the future, you know~), and the person still keeps insisting it would be okay for me to be clingy, then I turn into this hardcore clinging girl. I spam them with unnecessary random thoughts, don't make any effort in thinking around them and just babble, I use superglue to stick myself to the other person's arm/hand, I don't hide my extreme jealousy anymore, etc etc etc. As soon as I'm close enough with a person, I'm the default clingy, moody and jealous girlfriend. |

I like clingy in the sense of lots of cuddling and affectionate things like that. Mostly because I'm like that and it makes me happy to "cling" to my SO. Also I don't mind if they want to hang out a lot because if I'm dating them it probably means I can tolerate to be around them often or for long periods of time. What I don't like is obsessive. Always calling or doesn't ever give me space. That's just annoying. As much as I'll love hanging out with and talking to them, I like to be alone sometimes. |

if someone is too attached too fast then it freaks me out a little i'm not going to think it's genuine, and it's going to annoy me if it escalates gradually and i start to think they know things about me which others don't, clingy behaviour is fine it makes me feel needed just don't get mad at me for not being clingier myself, i guess i'm not very clingy, at least not outwardly i'm somewhat slow to return calls; i'll prioritise tasks over other people and i can go a while without talking to a person ...not because i don't like them, and in fact, i might be much more fond of them in my head than i believe they are of me i just find myself distracted by other stuff a lot |
