No! I hate 'clingy'!
 

Who out there hates clingy people. They always want to talk to you and be with you and always want to know about everything about you! In my opinion, it's so fracking annoying! O__O That's why I either try and talk to them about it or just cut them off short. Annoyance is my highest displeasure to begin with.

I'm really independent and don't do well with a shadow following me. I only had one person I could stand being around that much and that was my exgirlfriend. Anyone would drive me nuts. I have to have my alone time and I don't like when people think they have to know every little thing about me.

I can't deal with clingy people at all.
I'm very happy with my own company and when I meet people who aren't happy with their own company and are so needy all the time, I tend to push them away quite fast.
I used to feel sorry for people like that and hang around with them, but I ended up making myself miserable as they'd always be there wanting attention constantly.
If I wanted clingy, I'd have a kid, or get a puppy.
I don't want to babysit an adult ...not without being paid well anyway.

i don't like clingy people, they just annoy me so much.. i "had" a friend who was super clingy and would just CLINGCLINGCLING to everyone... she'd follow you, try and hold onto you while you was walking(almost making you fall over)...

I'm a little clingy, but, I back off just fine when told.
I just have very few friends, so I like to spend time with those I have.

o 3o Though I've gotten better over time, i'm not nearly as clingy now as I was in high school. I tend to prefer some alone time these days. lol

/is not the type of the clingy where I'm obsessed with someone, I just go, "wanna hang out" every day.
>___> If they think it's cos I'm obsessed with them, they don't know how obsessed I am with myself first and foremost.

I'm one of those clingy people. Especially with a boyfriend or really close friend. I went from getting very little attention at all, to having someone care about me more than I care about myself. I quickly got attached to that good feeling. And when that person wasn't around as often as they were before, I started getting clingy. I do realize I should be more independent. I should learn to go days or so without being told that I'm being thought about, or that someone cares about me.

I do not get obsessive though. I don't constantly ask "Where have you been?" "Why have you been avoiding me?" "Have you been with someone else?" I don't even really hang onto a person when we're out in public. I know that I can be clingy, so I don't ever let public affection go overboard. I felt so bad for the longest while that I would actually walk a few feet from the person. Any way to make them feel more comfortable and that I wasn't suffocating them. Letting them go and talk to their own friends without having to hold their hand, ya know.

I'm not a big fan of them. :/ I like having my alone time. Actually, I love it.

Alright... So... I'm fine with my boyfriend being clingy ('cause i'm clingy right back...) but this is a really good story of epic clinginess that is ALL TRUE.

So at the first of the year I met a girl off of a cosplaying board. She moved to my college from out of state, so I thought 'hey... she needs friends' and I would be the good little thing that I am and be friends with her. We were hanging out for about a week, then she started to get a bit weird. She texted me ALL THE TIME and when I didn't answer texts (because I was at work or with friends) she would CALL me just to ask me to drive her someplace. One time we both needed to go to Hobby Lobby for cosplay supplies and I told her 'I'm going to have to go to the mall too, is that okay?' and she said 'yeah!' So, we go to Hobby Lobby first and she gets everything she needs then informs me that she has to be at work in 10 minutes... across town... on campus. = ^ = I smiled, but was about to punch a kitten in my mind but took her to work... and then drove to the mall again (ACROSS TOWN). So after this, I stopped taking her places.

HOWEVER, she started to semi-stalk me... I caught her waiting for me in the lobby of my Dormitory as I was going home. Lemme tell ya, it sucks having to sneak into your own dorm. (She lives in another dorm on campus...) I also caught her following me and hiding in bushes. One of my friends is in the same Japanese class as her and the girl asked my friend if she knew me because she 'Saw me walking with her all of the time'. (This is not a small school, people. 36,000 people go here.) ... obviously this isn't a coincidence. I have also caught this girl trying to cut a lock of my hair off. = ^ =

She still calls and texts me every once in a while, but I never answer. D: It's like... extreme clinginess.

I actually tend to be quite a loner myself, which is odd because in a public setting I am incredibly outgoing.

I've been living on my own since the beginning of the summer, which I loved! My boyfriend of 4 years recently moved in with me from across the country last week, and that in itself has been a bit of a struggle. I even had a few best friends sit me down and tell me how I never "initiate conversation" and how I don't talk to them every day.

I guess I'm just one of those outgoing people that loves having alone time. I just can't help it. Clingy is so annoying!!

Clingyness... Like those people who absolutely must talk to you... ALL THE TIME! Yes, I hate it.

HelloVitu, I like how you put it. It definitely sound like me. I like being around certain people and will persue their company frequently. Sounds much better than using the term "clingly". Because I am, but I'm not.

I'm sorta of clingy but barely I hardly get comfortable with anyone and if I do I tend to want to hang out with them because I'm more of a loner person but if I come off as annoying or they feel that I'm suffocating I'll back off, but I slightly dislike that people that are extremely clingy and get to the extent of obsession and stalking, now that is insane, I don't get involved with those kind of 'clingly' people because I can't tell them off being the person I am, but even if I do they probably will cling even more.

Totally agree with this statement! I actually find clingy people rather creepy, probably because I'm so independent myself that I just can't comprehend why they are the way they are.

I mean I understand that people's upbringing strongly affects how they turn out, mine made me how I am today, but as people develop they have to learn to stand on their own two feet and stop expecting the world to revolve around them.
