There is a very thin line between being clingy and being caring or loving. Though these qualities are very subjectivity hence the intensity differs for different people. But despite of that it is necessary to make sure that we don’t end up being the clingy one in the relationship because its not the best thing out there. Therefore it becomes an absolute necessity to make sure that we do everything in our power to avoid that from happening. Here are a few signs that show whether you are clingy or not:
#1 Space in a relationship
The one thing everyone hates is intrusion of privacy and not getting any space in a relationship. No matter how much you believe in your hearts being one, at the end of the day you are two different human beings and need your space at all times. We need space and time to do our own thing and if our partner doesn’t do that we are more likely to call them clingy. So ask yourself do you practice what you preach? Do you give your partner the space they need for themselves? It is when we get space that we are able to unwind.
#2 You want to talk for hours and he doesn’t
You might be the chatterbox but perhaps your partner isn’t but they try their best. The problem is when they stop trying. If you have been talking for hours and hours about things and they aren’t talking at all its a big sign that your are on the ride of clingy factor. This is not the only sign, he might cut down on the duration of conversation, or make excuses to avoid listening at all. They might drop hints about not wanting to talk over phone, which you might wanna pick up. Avoid forcing them to have a conversation that will make things worse. No matter how embarrassing it might be for you try to make sure you don’t make your partner feel that way.
