    I have a “shrink” disadvantage. At the onset I must admit this post is a confessions toblerone ( I just liked the way this word makes my confession sound. I am a 30 year old female who came across an article posted on being clingy and I actually related to the writer. I would’ve loved to respond appreciatively but I cant so I’ve hijacked this forum for that purpose.

    Im also clingy for some strange reason ( who would’ve thought) I’ve been like this since matric (Last year in high school) .In pursuing self-medicating mechanisms to resolve this claustrophobic habit I decided to be a single for a year. It worked quiet well save for the fact that I immediately met someone post 1 year and reverted to self sabotage once more. I hate to start all over again but it really did work so I am back again. I must add I am obsessed with psychics, palm reading and tarot cards. An Esoteric Nerd. I’ve swallowed up all the readings hoping that some good may come of it but……have not really seen/noticed anything worth writing about. I remember staring at my palm hoping the stars stripes and lines would declare a millionaire in me someday but to my sad and desperate self it never did.

    I have a few “victims” of my obsessive clinginess whose patience I’ve measured out. I need to get out of this prism and start living again. ( praying for a qualified shrink to simply browse past this – thanks in advance)

    Pick up a copy of “Key To Yourself” by Dr. Venice Bloodworth. It’s a short book that will last you a lifetime.

    It is actually very normal for a small percentage of the population to be very clingy. I have heard it described as being in their own little shell, everything is fine, but then once they attach to someone they really really attach. I had someone I dated, and she used to be very clingy, called 5-6 times a day and would show up without making plans. It used to be too much for me. I do wonder if a more mature version of me would have been able to handle things better.

    How clingy would you be if you met someone you liked and the two of you lived together? Do you think in that situation you would feel less need to cling to the other person so often?

    I think this is ok to an extent. The problem with this ok behavior is that it does push beyond the boundaries of what many people find comfortable (hence it may not be ok for certain people you would cling to). Certainly some people would be ok with that level of attention from you.

    How do you feel about the fact that you can be “clingy”?

    Can you elaborate on why your behaviors are what you consider “Self Sabotage”?

    Why do you consider the people you “cling” to “victims”?
