Could a relationship work between two clingy and needy people?

Just curious. I know one couple and they're basically inseparable, kind of living in a bubble. Not sure how the dynamic works though... I reckon when it's good, its very good: 1. you have a person who understands your mindset an 2. you can learn to communicate with each other if there's issues. But the cons.. when it's bad, it's very bad.

No, it cannot work. It will be an unhealthy relationship based on codependency, jealousy, control, and everything that is the opposite of real love. But they will confuse all of the dependency and clingyness for true love.

When either couple's tendency to control and steer is temporarily satisfied, they will think they are really close and intimate, but then this will eventually fluctuate to the complete opposite. Arguments, uncontrollable jealousy, suspicion, and dissatisfaction.

At the core of this relationship are their ego's, and an unconscious mind. Both of them may become addicted to each other, addicted to the drama, unconsciously crave the drama, and find an identity through each other.

This is not true love, and this is not a relationship...

maybe... if you want the same thing then obviously, but if not then one should be able to make compromises

I'm very clingy too, once dated this clingy dude a few months ago. The clingness was fine for a few months because we were in the honeymoon faze, but after that he still was clingy. I realized my clingness wasn't even that bad. His was much worse he would call me like 5 times in school and leave me like 50 text messages when I came home. I don't think to clingy people would work out, coming from my experience. One person is going to get tired of one another or get bored.

Codependent relationships always blow up, because people like that always have demons they run from. That kind of relationship is like an addiction u use to escape them, only now they are pushed onto the partner with the expectation that the other person takes care of them, and no one can do that for someone. It's something we do for ourselves.

Yes it might work really hard to say, two clingy and needy people I'm not so sure.
