    Oh, I know the feeling.Everyone has their own way of doing things, you know? That is really good that you see patterns, it's very important to recognize them and acknowledge them. And control them when it works... It's alright, I already do those things though. One of the reasons why I am clingy is because their is not enough balance with people in my life. I write all the time, find myself alone often, and sing a lot as well, and even when I reach out to others or try to stay involved in my strong friendships, it's the other party that doesn't want it to be like that, so I cling just with a hope they won't go away. Oh and we do, our lives are like I'm from the North Pole, she's from the South Pole. We're opposites, what I have she doesn't, what she has, I don't. I think she lives happier than I do, but that's because I've been through things she has yet to experience, or may never experience. That's a great priority... I think I am looking for..... A sustainable friendship/and or relationship that I can hold onto to help rid of the pain. I know, I can't rely on others to help me. But I cannot, rely on myself to help myself. It's like asking a person who is drowning to stop drowning and start swimming. Or asking someone who is in a coma to wake themselves up. I bet your health won't deteriorate, the way you speak and the way you talk about yourself, it seems like you've got a good strong grip. :]

    Okay. What do you mean by you give up, do you just let go in a sad way, lol? That's exactly how I have been in the past, I push things away. Very true, very true. Lol, that's okay, it's good to hear your insight and words :]

    Yay, more in common :] I was very pulled away from her last year, but I had my clingy moments... This year I've been very very clingy with her. Really? I hope that doesn't happen with her and I. Although we've already been drifting. I understand she wants to dedicate herself to her homework, I dedicate myself to my writing but I don't turn away when she needs me. You too?! I have extreme abandonment issues...



    I think it is abandonment issues, it's just everytime something is bothering me I just happen to be alone, or if I'm not alone, like last night I was already bothered and I even said "I had a bad day, stay on just for five minutes." And she kept refusing. That's a good idea, because one of the reasons why I don't want to get off the phone is because I begin to think like what I am going to do afterwards? Sleep? I can't do that. It really does, thank you so much <3.

    Sweetie, I'm the exact same way. You can add another thing to our list of experiences... or traits.. or whatever. I was like that with my best friend for the longest time... all last year actually. I think it's what ultimately caused us to drift apart. I kinda concluded that I have abandonment issues...



    Do you know what it is that causes you to get clingy? Is there a particular reason other than just having someone to talk to? It's probably because of some type of situation that happened in your past... for me, to prevent it, I think of other things I can do when someone leaves the phone... but it's still hard, I know... I know exactly how you feel. I wish I had more words of advice, but I hope it helps to know that someone else feels the way you do!
