Do you guys ever get called 'clingy'

Post Reply New Topic

I'm wondering because when I first started talking to my friend (my first and only friend I was 18) he called me clingy but then a few months later he said he didn't think I was clingy anymore he had judged me wrong. And then a few months ago I was talking to a guy (intentions of being maybe more than friends) and he said I was "too clingy for a guy like him" and I don't know what he meant because I am not clingy. I can go months without seeing my friend and usually don't really wanna talk to him.
Do people call you guys clingy? Is it just me? How can I be less clingy.
I really liked the guy who was talking to me and whenever I first saw him I thought he was really cute but couldn't even look at him. I don't want this to become a trend!

I'm probably the only guy who feels like this but I don't think "clingy" is a bad thing. Seems more like someone just realy likes you. I'd be flattered.
But to answer you properly, I haven't been called clingy, although some times I think I can be.
And I think some people see things as clingy, even if it's not. Maybe you come off that way at first, which would explain why your friend assumed you were clingy until some time later. Or maybe those guys don't know what clingy is but are assuming they do, possibly mistaking it for something else. Or they might have had some experience that makes them really want their personal space more than other people do.

No I have never been called clingy. I don't think wanting to be with someone or wanting to talk to someone makes you clingy. It's the degree of it that does like if you get upset when someone has to leave and you try and make them stay so you use guilt trips and all and make them feel they can't leave or you don't let them be alone or spend time with their own friends because you want them around and you get upset when they are not around.

I don't consider wanting to be with your friends or family or wanting to chat with them clingy unless you get extreme with it to a point where you act abusive and controlling or a stalker and it's a point where the victim cannot even get offline or spend time with their friends or family. I had an online friend that was clingy and he would call me arrogant or tell me how he is boring and sign off. That is clingy. He would also tell me how dishonest women were because they were not online and hadn't been online for him. Now this is clingy.

I have been called more than clingy. That's how I learned not to consider anyone a friend, ever.
