"Clingy" has a negative connotation because it usually refers to someone who is extra with it and causes drama any time you pay attention to anyone or anything other than her. That's no good for anyone obviously. But if I'm choosing between someone who wants to spend a lot of time with me and wants to be the only woman in my life, I'll take that all day over the woman who considers me just one option out of the many things she could choose to do that day because she's sooo busy and important. I like to feel needed and I question whether an independent woman can give that. Not sayin' they can't, just not that confident
She can. Just that there is a time and place for everything.
If someone wants to get on my nerves all they gotta do is call me every day and watch how i slowly but surely disappear from your life.
