I'm like a little dog...

Ever since fifth grade, I've had a habit of clinging to someone. They are a person I'll follow and do errands / favors for until something gets in the way (such as a personality shift) and I can't continue. After that happens, I panic and have a hard time functioning until another person fills their place. I do not like doing this and it feels weird. But I have to do it, for reasons previous. However... it's odd for someone like me to do that. I've been abandoned without reason many times in my childhood, usually once I grew close to someone. The effect of this is a want to not become too close to someone, noticeable with the way I'll attempt to move away from anyone trying to touch me (even if they become offended). So why would I, a person that fears closeness, wish to become so attached to someone?

    It's not entirely normal, but it's not the end of the world. You will be much happier and probably find it easier to be smoothly successful in life if you deal with the abandonment issues. You can do this either through therapy, or, if your IQ is likely to be higher than that of your therapist, by researching it yourself at a major library. good luck!

    That's a deep-rooted problem that you will probably need counseling to get through.

    Your a stage 5 clinger lol . Jk I know the feeling I am kind of that way with ppl too sometimes like relationships it's hard for me to let go cuz I always want them around. You just need to find other things that interest you because as mean as it sounds... Ppl find that smothering and can only handle so much.

    past experiences no matter how long time ago can still exist in your behavior. see a pro and study yourself, only you can help yourself
