I have a friend, she is extremely clingy.

Wants to be close and cuddly all the time. Wants confessions of love constantly. She tells me what to do and starts crying if i don’t listen to her, every small thing. Like; turn here, and if i don’t, she’ll go on repeating it, and then starts crying. She doesn’t care who’s around or what’s happening around us. And if we’re at the same place at the same time, like college, or at the organization we work for, she wants to be together the whole time. She stops me from socializing and creating strong bonds with anyone. Doesn’t want me to talk to my other friends much. I HATE all this!!! Hate it, hate it, hate it! What to do of her???
And I can’t just tell her to go away cz then she starts crying and pleading so very terribly! I seriously can’t ever talk to her without getting very angry and making her cry.

does she know how you actually feel about her clingyness (sp? is that even a word) or do you just tell her to go away?

Mostly I just tell her to move a bit, or i turn away. But yes, i have told her several times how I feel about it.

The best thing for you both would probably be to spend some time apart. Could you try convincing her of that? Maybe you could just show her this post. She’d probably go ballistic, but she needs to stop relying on you so heavily if you are made uncomfortable by it.
