What does the word clingy mean?

Hi,
If someone said it to you, it means that you constantly hang around the person to a point where your attention can be almost suffocating for the person concerned.

It is often done due to lack of self confidence or lack of self esteem.

Sometimes a guy can break up with a girl and give the reason as ' She was too clingy'.

Definition:

1. emotionally dependent: too dependent on the company or emotional support of other people

2. sticking to body: sticking closely to the body
a clingy fabric

cling·i·ness noun

I hope that helps

Hanging on to - staying right by your side, not giving you any space - attached to - dependent upon...hope this helps !!

To stick to something, be close, attatched.

In the relationship sense people seem to use it more to say a person is too dependent. They don't give the other person any breathing room, privacy, space.

Never giving your partner the chance to be alone. It's not uncommon for a teen girl to be clingy.

yep heard that one before being said to me...well either they just really do not like you or you are needy...

I found both to be me at one time... guys are hard to figure out at any age

Very attachy.

clingy is when you are on the person calling them all the time ... wondering where they are when the guy is out with his frnds chilling your calling... this is really common amongst teens guys would rather not be bothered by their girlfriend around their friends or when you wanna hold hands all the time ... asking the guys friends where he is. play cool dont give him to much attention and make it seem like you aren't dying to be in his company guys dont love it when a girl is easy to get ( easy to score) its a ideaolgy pretty stupid I know ... lol but if you like som1 somtimes its hard to be clingy but at least you know how intrested the person is play cool act like it doesnt bother u ( it probably does)there is lots of fish in the sea...I been through it too .
