Clingy

1 answer

"Clingy" is a term often used to describe someone who seeks excessive emotional attachment or reassurance in a relationship, sometimes making others feel overwhelmed or suffocated. It can apply to romantic partners, friends, or even family members.

In romantic relationships, clinginess might manifest as constant texting, a need for physical closeness, or a lack of independence. While seeking closeness is normal, a clingy behavior can indicate insecurity or fear of abandonment.

If you’re dealing with clinginess in a relationship—either experiencing it or having someone who exhibits this behavior—communication is key. Setting healthy boundaries, encouraging independence, and discussing feelings openly can help manage and improve the situation.
