Are you a clingy person?

I'm clingy but I'm clinging to almost nothing. It's because I'm having a hard time making friends out of acquaintances, and it's probably because I seem desperate about it... Does that make any sense? lol

I know exactly what you're talking about, as I have the same problem. I have so many acquaintances at school, but only two close friends who are slowly fading from my life, ergo, I am extremely desperate for friendship right now. My mom tells me not to care so much, because when you're desperate people can sense that, and it is a turn-off for most people.

Sounds exactly like me!
I've now ended up with one real friend...and don't ask me how that was possible-but I'm not complaining!
 
I do have close friends, but I feel like I need more friends in the event that some friends are unable to spend time with me at some points. If I have more friends, that's more people to be comfortable talking to.

At the right time, I am going to post something on Facebook. Not even going to try to tell people in person because this the only way they will read the whole thing without interrupting me or something. I have it all written down on my computer, and all that's left to do is a copy/paste. Might post it tomorrow when I'm not spending time with people.
 
There was a time of my life I use to be that way. I learned I lost lots of people left me cause of this. So I try my best not to be that way and only act that way for people that are OK with it.
 
Used to be, I don't think I ever used to understand that I had to share other people and I couldn't have there undivided attention.

This all sorta changed over the last few years, I've mellowed out a lot more and become less "needy" + plus a bad relationship where I cared for someone that had no regard for me, I snapped halfway through and stopped caring.

Since then I've been a lot less clingy, almost the opposite.. I'm a bit too blasé about most of my relationships now.
