Using the L-word every time they leave the room, thinking that physical contact is a sign that everything is OK, assuming that calling me back 5 seconds later will magically get me to answer or call back faster (even if I'm dead in a ditch), having to ask me all the time if I'm happy with them, asking me how they can make me happier so that I won't want to leave, a guy who freaks out thinking I'm cheating or "getting distant" when I need time to myself, a guy who gets butthurt and acts like I don't care about him when I go to a professional for a job or project instead of asking him when he's not qualified...
A guy who's not with me for me, a guy who's only with me because I actually pay any attention to him at all, so he tries to make his world all about me.
A needy guy is someone who is overbearing. He texts and calls all the time back to back with no reply or starts confessing his love to soon and basically seeks validation from a girl. Being needy is already off putting and he just becomes more and more unattractive the more needy he acts. If the girl was never attracted to him to begin with then this makes him even more insufferable
A guy who is dependent on me emotionally. I know I can be emotional but I hate when a guy is constantly in his emotions 24/7. It doesn’t need to be sad or depression. It can be anger, too, or irritation. I’m very much a ‘get over it’ type person and usually move on from situations and people pretty quick. I couldn’t be with a guy who could not do the same.
Somebody whose partner is the center of his world. All he thinks about is her, deliberately giving up on passions, friends, opportunities to occupy his time with her, expecting her to do the same. He expects her to shorten (if not give up on) the time with her friends, to not get exposure to parties and events (where she will get glances from), to give him attention in any way. He texts from 5 to 5 minutes, and if she takes time to respond, he will get annoyed. He gets paranoid with every gesture that looks "suspicious" to him, like dressing up fancier than usual to a certain event. He expects constant skinship, otherwise he will get it wrong. And last, but not least, he expects the partner to be some sort of babysitter with benefits.

I had a boyfriend once who couldn’t perform basic adult functions like cooking and cleaning up for himself, washing his clothes, going to work on time, etc. On top of that, he always wanted me to reassure him that everything about him was great and that he was very special and his mistakes and faults didn’t matter. I did almost all the effort, aside from lovely words he shared, but he wanted lavish praise for the smallest accomplishments - like showing up for a date on time and not late.
He also said he loved me after just three weeks, when I said that was impossible and acted like us breaking up would be devestating, when we’d been strangers just a short time before.
He was 28, but was looking for a mother, not a partner.
Any insecure guy. He's going to be blowing up my phone and having all kinds of maladaptive behaviors like mood swings that I have to be around to him acting like a child. It really sucks the life and everything good that relationships have to offer. No one wants to put up with that and after the break up, I know I dodged a bullet.

Just always needing validation that I love him, or constant attention. There is no reason why you have to ask me what Im doing or how I am every 20 minutes, and constant grabbing, holding, kissing etc. Love manifest in deeper ways than talking always and physicality. In fact, we love our family right now as we are teetering away on this website but aren't bombarding their phone or cuddling them all day.
Clingy people have a poor sense of the invisible strings of a solid relationship.
Someone clingy who won't give me space. This is actually why i stopped liking a guy. He liked me back but wouldn't stop talking to me and it got on my nerves because im a person who really likes space

A needy guy is when he's more of a pussy than I am.
One who keeps on trying to verify my trustworthiness 24/7, and who always checks on me

Needy guys are the ones who are always up your ass and the ones who are overly clingy. Girls want a nice guy who adores them but also not someone who doesn't know when to leave them alone.
You can't have a healthy and loving relationship with a needy partner. Beeing needy comes from a lot of unhealed traumas bigger than you think. Interdependence is better and the best.
