Nia69: I really dont want u to cut off from her. If she's as mature as I assume, then I believe she'll adjust but it will take time Do u guys stay close to each other or work together? If there's reasonable distance from your daily routines then u can keep giving excuses to avoid meeting 1 Like |

Nia69: That's why, this is how you can do it. I believe she already knows the kind of person that you are,she just doesn't want to accept it. You can spend little time with her then tell her you have other things you want to do. |

nairalee:She said I am her favorite person and she hasn't had a friend like me because most of the friends she had used her to get things from her parents. She also said she'll try to change. But she didn't two days later she continued. I tried to act clingy too maybe she'll get tired and give me space, but it got worse. I'm an introvert, I like my space. 2 Likes |

Nia69: For the phone one, I would advise you ignore her calls and messages from time to time but not always. Then once in a while when you pick or respond, after a while, tell her you need to go do something else. When you see in school, just politely tell her you'll see her later and leave. These are temporary tactics. The real way to get rid of her is help her meet new people. She is probably lonely. 5 Likes |

Nia69:If she's truly your friend,she will understand. Trust me,nobody wants a clingy "ship" either friendship, relationship or workship...... it's hell. If she doesn't, then tell her she gave you no choice but to dissolve the friendship |

[b]"Much ado about nothing" Why does it bother you, you little man of no swag! Instead of allowing the flow of affection, you'd rather cause sadness towards her. Did she tell you you are going to be her man forever? Even if you are not dating, why are you so mad? If she clings to you, all you have to do is to reciprocate and cling to her as a friend. I remembered when a girl (just a friend) would cling unto me way back in ICE (Institute of Continuing Education) Benin in 1987; I still miss her till this day. Some of my friends would always say to me, "this girl like you die...". Oh, I forgot to add; "she was very very very beautiful" with a chocolate complexion, soft-spoken, always smiling and a well behaved. We parted our different ways only to see her one day, walking along, I was so shocked and surprised to see her when she came for her Masters Degree in the University of Ibadan. We went down memory lane about our days in school. It's not every time, you have to think of getting to a lady's panties. Now, I am in the US, I don't know where she is now but I pray to see her someday! You have to be matured and diplomatic, don't be a SMALL MAN! [/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: How Do I Get Rid Of A Clingy Friend In A Polite Way? by nairalee(m): 12:43pm On Mar 06, 2023 |
Nia69: well, I give her an E for effort even though it lasted just 2 days. I totally relate with what you're saying cause I've been in this boat before. back then I was so mad but thinking about it now I wonder why I even find it amusing now. that's why i dont want u to cut off from her completely. but for the sake of your own sanity and to get your space u just have to gradually quench the clinginess in her. after threatening her, I'm sure she'll promise to reduce. Make it a point of duty to always inform her when she's crossing the boundary. Gradually gradually she'll calm down. Like i told u before it ain't gonna be once. It will take your constant guidance and a gradual adaptation from her. Put simply, you have two options 1) Cut off from her abruptly (effective but brutal) 2) Take her through the gradual process of healing (not instant but diplomatic) I recommend the 2nd option. It's better to maintain friendships than burn bridges 1 Like |

I want such a friend, who truly loves me with clean and open minds. I once had such a friend, at a time she was very clingy when she visits and it's getting too late I will be the one to instruct her to go home cos her house is far from mine and she's a married woman. She needs to prepare dinner for her hubby. Sometimes years later I stopped hearing from her, I will call her and she won't pick then I called her few days ago she picked and told me she's no longer in Lagos. I asked where she was and she said she can't tell me 3 Likes |
