Most people think clingy is annoying. This needs to be corrected. Codpendence and having your identity based only on that relationship is "annoying" and a serious problem. If two people love each other they are going to want to be together and its only natural to be concerned about your partner when they are away from your side. Its part of an aspect of love. Especially in this day and age when relationships are frivolous and aren't lasting. Its hard to trust a partner or at least not have insecurities nag you about potential cheating. However, part of being in a relationship is learning to trust the other person, but that takes time. I'm extremely "clingy" cuddly and affectionate. I like communication channels to be open and active for most of the day. If not explained it can be a cause for concern or a suspicion of cheating. However, I'm not desperate or codependent. I can function just fine without the other person. I just like to be reasurred of my partners safety and when they will return to my loving arms for affection.

If I'm being honest, extremely clingy. I'm the type of person who doesn't like sharing ANYTHING. That includes my girl, her attention, and her beauty. So that being said she isn't allowed out of my sights ever. Even when she's "not pooping" and if I'm at work, the cameras I set up helps me keep an eye on her.

I've even considering sewing her to me, you gotta do what you gotta do.

This is something I've always seen as an imbalance in the relationship more than a characteristic of an individual.

Sure, some people require more attention than others but you just find a person that you are in synch with on that level.

Often times it's an imbalance in interest causing one to label the other as clingy, or imbalance of lifestyle.

If you need me to be home every night or most nights I'm not your girl because I have to travel for work a lot. Wanting to see more more than 3 or 4 nights a week doesn't make you clingy it just means it's not a good fit.

There's no litmus test or measure for clingy.

I don't consider myself to be a clingy person lol :) I actually like my independence a little too much sometimes! I love my boyfriend to death but I just really appreciate my alone time and like being able to renew myself away from people aha :P I'd say we spend about 65% of the time together and the rest of the time is mine to handle as I please ;) My boyfriend is really social and likes going out all the time but I'm a bit more of an introvert. We balance each other out perfectly! <3 Although he wishes I wasn't such a homebody aha :P

I said 5 to 8 so I see I'm in the average. I could be kissy touchy feely with a man I am into especially when the sex is great. My exes were clingier than I was, because I give people space. I had a cat when I was 18 that ran away because I wouldn't let him go outside and I was kissing and hugging him too much, lol yeah I think he probably trained me to give people space

think_logic85 · Answer

In my experience, 99% of the time when your partner says 'I need some space', your relationship is over, the reason being they found someone else, so the excuses like these show up being 'you were too clingy' , 'you drove me away', 'my feelings changed because you were so clingy'.

As to the topic, I would rate myself 5.

Sami54 · Answer

Feelings wise I'm probably at 20 or smthn, but I only show around 7/10 , because I respect people's privacy and at the same time I don't wanna be a bother, it sure would hurt if you're a 10 and your partner around 6 or so

Anonymous · Answer

I'd either be a 1 or a 20 ("I'd sacrifice my life for them in a heartbeat if that's what it takes to make them happier"). If I'm allowed to be attached to the person I love, then I'll be completely attached to them, because I'd love them and that's what actual love is. If I'm told that I'm not allowed to be attached to them though, and that I'm effectively not allowed to love them, then I can do it by severing my heartstrings, along with even the slightest bit of attachment to them.

mooky06 · Answer

Between 5-8?  Ok ok I'm lying 😑

notallthere98 · Answer

I'd say about a 4 or 5. I love hanging out, cuddling, holding hands, all that. But I also love having time to myself, and if we went a week or more without seeing each other, I'd be fine. I'd text them during that time, but I don't need daily contact to be happy

martyfellow · Answer

I'm not that clingy day to day, when we see each other every day, but if we're apart for a week or more, , I want to spend the whole day together when we see each other again

nowhere_dani · Answer

I voted 3-5. I prefer we have different tastes and do different things from each other. I don't like FaceTiming or Skyping or even talking on the phone. The occasional text is cool. My mom tells me it's a terrible way to be haha

ShortCircuit · Answer

I'm pretty clingy (7 or 8), but I don't show it. It puts most women off, even if they are clingy themselves.

So what I usually do is put on the cool/stoic act, but date a clingy girl so I still get the affection I need.

Sandman_10 · Answer

hardcore clingy like a monkey to a tree. I cling onto that as I would fall if that tree wasn't there. I throw my poop like a monkey too, gotta make sure people back off when I'm eating the ticks and fleas off my girls back

LostGirl08 · Answer

i used to be a 10+. but now, it's more of a 4-5. i learned the hard way about getting too clingy. so, i decided to control myself and it paid off. 😂😂😂

JamielovesKU · Answer

I'd say half and half I'd like to have a clingy partner not because im needy or its annoying but because I like being around a guy and spending time with him

lovelyhoneybones · Answer

It seemed like my ex always wanted me to be around him. If I wasn't, he just assume I was mad at him. I gave him his space which came to nip me in the bud, but it's whatever.

Xelight · Answer

I'm like an 8 but expressing it didn't go too well for me. My ex was like a 2 when she's with me and a 9 when she's alone and depressed. It was pretty bad.

xMiaxBuerx · Answer

I don't give a fuck about partners outside the context of sex.

I can be damn clingy but if the other person dislikes it, then I'll just do whatever, its kind if an adaptation to people

shyguy2004jf · Answer

I'm 5-8 probably. I don't expect them to be next to me all the time, but I expect some communication and attachment to some degree.

About a 3 most days, that's because I take a long time to really bond with a guy though. Maybe a 5 on a good day.

Cloudy25 · Answer

I sometimes worry about getting too attached, but I'd say I start at 3 and then move up the scale depending on the seriousness of the relationship.

It can go both ways depending on where the momentum is pointing...

DiegoO · Answer

We break up a month ago, I still feel like we are an 8-10, not the case anymore but I doubt I´ll drop down to a 1-3 scale. For everything we lived I´ll say a 5-8 even if she decide to take me out completely from her life.

Skalliwag · Answer

I'm very clingy, she's pretty clingy. it works... but we are mature enough not to be dicks about it, and we share well.

SaintRichie23 · Answer

Like a 2 or a 3maybe. Haven't had a girlfriend that I felt really attached to, plus I enjoy doing things alone. Always get grilled for not communicating enough or inviting her to things I do in my daily life haha (oops)

Logical_Idolist · Answer

It honestly depends on the level of attraction. When I first enter a relationship I am distant. If and when my level of comfort increases, I become clingy.
