BeachBlonde Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 What would YOU define as clingy behavior in a relationship? Are you or have you ever been really clingy in relationships, or had a signifcant other who was really clingy? Did it end up ruining your relationship? Any thoughts/opinions are appreciated.
whichwayisup Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Not being allowed to have your own space, not being allowed to have "you" time and having to 'entertain' the other person because they need and rely on you for everything little need of theirs. Being clingy is combo of insecurity, trust and fear issues.
VirtualInsanity Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Only type of clingy behavior I do is affection. I call myself an affection clinger. I give more then I like to recieve.
dgiirl Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Being clingy is combo of insecurity, trust and fear issues. I've got all of those problems, but I dont think I'm clingy. (God I hope not) I think I'm the opposite of clingy, i tend to flee/ignore the person instead. Clingy is when you dont understand or cant respect the other persons personal space. Everyone has a different requirement for personal space, so what one might consider clingy, another might work well.
