Clingy friend

One of my closest friends is overly clingy. she gets very upset with me when I tell her I can’t hangout with her even if it is because I have to study for an exam. when ever I tell her I might not be able to make something, she says that I am selfish. I have a lot of friends in different social groups. she hates when I hangout with them, and will often complain that I love them more. she has come with me to hang out with them before and she doesn’t get along with them. she hates them and they hate her. no matter what I tell her, she doesn’t see that she is being possesive. I have class with her and I don’t want to lose her as a friend. what can I say to make her understand that I don’t have to be with her all the time?

I think thats its pretty obvious that you are one of her only friends if that is the case, she probably won’t want to lose you as a friend either just be honest with her. tell her that you are getting very busy with school, and won’t be able to hang out with her as much. offer to call her at a specific time instead so you can talk, if you have cell phones text her, or im her if you have screen names. eventually, the friendship will end if you don’t tell her whats going on because you will get fed up with her. if she won’t listen when you talk to her, start showing her with actions. Don’t take her calls, ignore emails, etc. only answer when its convenient, and don’t let her convince you to do something once you’ve said you are busy. Eventually, she will get the picture that if she wants to be your friend, she will have to share you.
