What does clingy mean?

Question

What does clingy mean?

Answer 1

it's an adjective to describe one who clings (holds tightly, grasps, has a strong emotional attachment, is emotionally dependent or is stubbornly attached to something)

consider 'to cling on to life'

a good example of clingy is the behaviour of a toddler when mum tries to leave = the toddler will literally 'cling' onto mum's leg to try and prevent her from leaving.

Clingy is often used to describe someone in a relationship who is over-dependent, wants to be with the other every minute of the day, has separation anxiety and doesn't allow the other any space and in this context has a negative connotation (it's not a nice thing to be called)

Answer 2

people that follow you around and you dont really want them there but they just are

Answer 3

emotionally suffocating...overwhelmingly with your presence....needy....always around

Answer 4

It's what the Klingons do on Star Trek or whatever that show is. They won't let go, won't let you just go by.

Answer 5

That you are always like around that one person, so much that it may get annoying.
