The title says it all. Being clingy not just happens on relationship. It can also happen in a friendship. A Clingy lover can be annoying but what if it is your best friend that is too clingy? What if it is your best friend who bugs you all day? What if it is your best friend who can’t live without you? Will you just dump him/her like with your clingy lover? Well.
According to the article written by Cherie Burbach, entitled “How to handle a clingy friend”, It states that there are certain reasons on why our/your friend is clingy. These are:
· Personal loss from a death in the family.
· Recent divorce or breakup.
· Moving to a new town.
· Getting a new job.
· Having their best friend move away.
It is quite self explanatory. Your clingy friend, clings to you because he/she is depressed or sad. He/She might be undergoing a personal loss or a recent break up. They need someone to lean on so they stick to you that much.
According to the same article, these are the following signs that your friend is being clingy:
· Repeated phone calls and/or emails throughout a day.
· Panic at having to be alone.
· A need to find out what you're up to, which may include questions about other friends you are spending time with.
· Dropping by your house or apartment too frequently (and without invitation).
· Hesitancy at ending phone calls.
· Not wanting to go home at the end of an outing.
Having a best friend who is really devoted and loyal is a good thing. It is actually one of the best feeling in the world. But, remember that, being a friend always has its limitation. Maybe you don’t noticed but you’re already over doing it. Give some space, he/she is not your only friend. There are billions of people on our world. Try to mingle and meet another people. Maybe it will lessen your clinginess and if you’re the one who is being clingy with, remember not to say harsh words to them. They are just too engaged with your friendship or maybe they are just too depressed that they a friend to lean on.
