Is it normal i stop caring for someone once they become too clingy?

If the person feels like they NEED to be with me 24/7, cries when they're without me, sends me hundreds of texts a day especially when I don't answer, shows up at my workplace, doesn't let me have my "me time", and just stresses me out, my mind gets angry and I resent the person. I'll block them on social media, stop hanging out with them, and not answer their calls and texts anymore. Once the resentment clears away, a wave of apathy hits and I couldn't care if the person is alive or dead. Is it normal? I seem to attract clingy friends that do all these things. Maybe I'm just unlucky.

  • If somebody tells you that you are their everything, run far away and don’t look back.

      This is why I have not told my best friend this. I sure hope he's not a person like you!!! Don't be surprised if you and the OP end up being responsible for the demise of your clingy friends!!!

    I think it's very normal to not enjoy being suffocated.

    Perhaps there is something that you are not aware of on a conscious level that attracts clingy people to you, attracts you to people who are clingy?

    What was it like growing up in your family of origin? Was there someone in your family who was very needy, and clingy, or was there someone who was perhaps cold, and distant? What were your parents like?

      I don't know why I come across them. Maybe it's the places I find them(malls, parks, and conventions and (in the past) meetups).

      None of my family members are needy, but there are a lot of family members(cousins) I don't talk to anymore due to their criminal records and drug use. The lot of them are a pain to deal with.

        How does the rest of your family deal with your cousins who abuse drugs, and have criminal records?

        Do you ever find yourself wanting to rescue, or fix people?

          My dad used to want to fix them and they took advantage of him. Nowadays, my family just doesn't talk to them. They dont want things stolen from them and they don't want to get sued since we hear a lot of crazy things at family reunions. I'm actually pretty apathetic towards a lot of things. I've seen that rescuing people is a waste of time. For some reason the only person I stuck around to fix and mold to what I want was my boyfriend( I do not recommend that anyone do this, btw).

            Yeah, I don't think people can really fix, or change others. I started saying recently that if I want a fixer upper I need to buy an old car on which to work.

            My ex-boyfriend wanted to change, and fix me. I didn't realize that that's what he wanted to do until it was too late, and I had already moved halfway across the country.

            I honestly think we can't change, or fix anybody, not even animals, if they don't want to change.

    It's normal to feel that way. This happens often?

      It's happened more times than I'd like. I had to let someone go recently due to their calls. She kept calling me from different numbers when I wouldn't answer.

    I'm clingy and I wish my friend would do exactly as you described and be with me 24/7. I'm constantly worried about him because he has a girlfriend. You should pay attention to this person because if you don't they may cease to be functional or fall into situational depression. If they did it would be your fault!!!

      Their stressful actions are what will lead to losing me. They need to act like adults and realise that no friend can be with someone 24/7 and they need to realise that I have a life outside of them. If they cease to be functional or kill themselves, that's got nothing to do with me. If it isn't going to be over me, it's going to be over someone or something else. LMFAO.

    A little clingy is good but not to clingy. I'm definitely clingy. Once I got feels for ya I want to talk to ya everyday and be there and see ya and smell ya and all that good stuff. I dont get obsessive over it though. Just a little bit of attention each day keeps me at bay otherwise my mind starts wandering.. #abandonment issues

      Trust me, you don't want them. They're nothing but a huge burden.

        Just for a moment then, before it all turns out to be a burden.
