Agreed, being clingy to the ones you love isn’t a crime. But when your clinginess starts to take a toll on your relationship, it might be time to ask yourself: am I being too clingy?
Clinginess can be tough to spot in yourself. After all, you’re attached to the person you’re with, so it’s only natural that you want to spend as much time with them as possible, right?
Wrong. There is such a thing as being too clingy, and it can push your partner away if you’re not careful.
You might be a little too clingy if you notice yourself getting jealous when your partner talks to other people, needing constant reassurance, or always wanting to know where they are and what they’re doing.
