How to Stop Being Clingy and Needy
Do you feel needy and clingy?
It’s soo normal to feel needy after a bad relationship or after never having your needs met and it’s not “bad.”
YOU are not “bad.”
It doesn’t mean there’s anything “wrong with you” or that your “too much.”
You could have been told these things or just shown these things [by being ignored by unavailable caretakers or even worse ….by dirty looks or rolled eyes every time you tried to express a want or need, etc.]
ALL YOUR “NEEDINESS” MEANS…
You have unmet needs from childhood
You are getting caught up in one-sided relationships,
you may need to learn how to meet your own needs
you may have a past where your emotional needs for being loved, safe, and saying no were not met so you feel needy and may feel like your needs have never been met
Pych Central talks about how past trauma can effect how we show up in our relationships. Read more about it here.
