How do I redeem myself after being needy?

[Anonymous]

I got clingy and needy last month to this guy that I had a few hookups with (it's a bit complicated - he admitted a few months ago he likes me, and now we're awkwardly not sure how either of us feels). He's really busy with school so we haven't hung out in a while. How do I redeem myself after acting clingy and a bit wacky? It's very unlike me to be like that - at the time I was going through some family troubles and got very stressed out and that's why I acted weird.

Honestly, I think that says a lot about what you want from him, and it should give u a clearer view as to where you want to go. It sounds like you want him as more than a friend, so tell him, if that's the case of course. If he doesn't want that, then don't even waste time trying to redeem yourself.

Don't make him to focus of your life. That will make your own life very unsatisfactory. Hang out with friends, keep up with your hobbies, spend effort in your career, ... You are more attractive if you gain satisfaction out of your own life. This also prevents you from being clingy too much ;)
