When you say you’re done, they just can’t accept it. Have some self-respect and learn to let go. Why are some people so clingy?

Number one is entitlement some people feel it strongly. Obviously, they don’t want anyone feeling that way towards them.

Two. Letting go is hard especially when you love someone and invested so much into someone. Am I excusing bad behavior? No. There is mature ways to go about it. But it does hurt when someone walks away.

But people staying attached to people who don’t want them hurt themselves more then anyone. Because there are people who may genuinely want you and wasting your time on someone who doesn’t.

Yeah I've never understood it either. My first ex broke up with me and for some reason kept trying to get back with me for years after. It was the most annoying shit.

I've never had any issues with my exes. If they broke up with me I was like "Okay, they don't value me enough to want to be with me or they don't see a future with me. Cool. Not gonna be a bitch and beg them to stay."

And now I just wish them the best in life 👍🏼 All my exes were decent girls. We just ended up not being completely compatible.

I said I was done with a guy and walked away but he chased me down and asked me to give him a chance... So I did... several months of chances, in fact... that ended with me just having to walk away all over again because he just doesn't know what he wants... He's clinging bc I represent something to him that he wants in his life, even if he doesn't know what that is.

Because they have no self worth and are depending entirely on the relationship for their self worth if you leave theyre left with nothing.

I never had a problem letting people go for my big ego if they don't want me I feel high vexed and cut them off compteley from my life to me they'er dead.

I've experienced different scenarios at this point 🫤

• I've been in several situations where I couldn't let go and I shut my mouth. That's the classic breakup. I'll just open my mouth somewhere else.
• I've been in 1 situation where I couldn't let go and I open my mouth. Which leads nowhere, I can confirm lol.
• I've been in 1 situation where I couldn't let go, break in tears, and then being commanded at once to leave the place. Quick and efficient.
• I've been in 1 situation where she couldn't let go and then stalked me, guilt tripped me. Full package. It broke my mind badly, when it happened.
• I've been in 1 situation where she couldn't let go. She told me in a thousand different ways. And I tolerated that. Up to a point.
• I've been in 1 situation where she couldn't let go, and I knew/felt it, but she was... balanced (or proud? or what exactly?) enough to not insist

Letting go... Hey that's a vast topic 🫤

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

But I didn't answer the question, why so clingy? Kind of complicated? Love itself is utterly complicated as a sentiment. Saying "I love you" isn't clear, it's never clear, because it never tells what we mean exactly, where we come from to say it, how we mean it, what we expect from it etc.

If I stumbled again upon a girl who couldn't let go, I hope I'll be tolerant, to an extent, again. Because some people experience love and the end of love as something deeply devastating, it's not that I can or should take responsibility for how life made people how they are but... I think there's a tolerance level to use, ideally?

[jshm2]

Well.. it's how you've made them.

Often they become like that due to you building their dependence on you.

[loveyouoak]

I agree with you. If someone doesn't want you, you shouldn't want them either. Some people get clingy because they put too much meaning into the person they love.

[glennos89]

Good question. I have also asked myself this question because I don't understand why some people have no self-respect

[abbyjgriffin98]

They have anxious attachment style. It's actually really unhealthy.

[Shiprex]

They have strong feelings and want validation of them.

[exitseven]

To some people they think that they cannot live without their partner.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Your picture is misleading. The caption reads.. "How dare you leave before I take your wallet?"

[kaucky1]

Others pretending to be me mess it up for me so if have give in to them, that's not gonna happen 🫣🤬

[beefcakebradybatson]

They're afraid they can't find someone else.

[Paige90]

They are raised by clingy parents

[Nikki1989]

Yeah, men are the worst at that.

[ananias55]

Women are worse, in my opinion. My ex refused to let me go. I had to quit all social media cause she kept stalking me. And when I got someone new, she confronted her and claimed that we were still dating. I lost a partner for no reason -_-

[es20490446e]

And people ask why I no longer date them :D

[WonderingManII]

Relationships are hard.

[Ariesman81]

But the sex though...🤯

[Emmytexrex]

They are emotionally attached

[melis765]

such is their character böyle

[Anonymous]

It's a part of their character.

[WhitneySnow]

Agreed
