    Long ago I realized my "clingy" partner was the only person that was ever accepting enough of my intensity and independence to make me feel safe. He gets a totally different me because of that. I can stop being distant because I am okay with him. This was all a shock. I wasn't expecting it. I agree with her that I thought I didn't need all of this connection. I was wrong. I had no idea who I really was emotionally until I was safe.

      Same here. I've had so many guys get weird over it too. The ignoring games especially. When I like someone, I show it & let them reciprocate. If they suddenly back off, start to ignore me or decide they don't care to match my effort, I see it as a boundary or non-interest & I give the space they act like they want. Then they come back later on like "but-but where'd you go?"

    So in this case I was the clingy person in our relationship. But he made me go through some painful rejections and humiliations bcs of my clinginess. So I lost my sense of hope to him so naturally slowly I drifted away until now I feel completely emotionally detached from him. Now he became the clingy one bcs, maybe you're right.

Idk what to do sometimes I am so heartbroken when he goes distant I feel like I could die. I know he loves me deep down I know our connection is special and that is why it's so hard to walk away. I can't imagine opening my heart up to another guy. I am wifey no other woman will understand him like I do. Im afraid that he will push me away and i will have no choice but to leave one day and he won't realize how special I was before it's too late. I am afraid he will end up alone because he pushes people away.

    As therapists and relationship experts we say this:
    Anxious attachment style vs avoidant attachment style. We don’t use terms as needy clingy, etc that place unnecessary judgement on both. There is a negative cycle that gets formed where one is the pursuer, one is the widhrawer so there’s a lot there. I’m not sure what is this lady’s background but as a marriage counselor, a sex positive therapist and a family therapist we conceptualise this dynamic very different. We help people have the relationships they deserve and want. We help them learn how to express their needs and values themselves so they can be valued by their partner, how to great them cycle, how to aim towards a safe space, a secure attachment style.

      Not really. Didn't actually make sense. The initial premise was why the distant attract the clingy, but then goes to describe what distant individuals prefer. Which is actually an explanation of why the clingy attract the distant, not the other way around. And then it goes into how the distant break the relationship, but doesn't describe how the clingy deal with it in turn.
      It's a very one-sided and reverse explanation of the orginal concept she introduces. Very poor presentation.

      I think what she didn't realize is most of the time it has less to do with their attachment style, and more to do with the fact that they're similar in so many other areas. That is what actually keeps them together. They probably had the same childhood experiences and reacted differently, but can relate to each other because of that. The notion that opposites attract is not only overblown but romanticized as well which I personally never understood. Opposites attract but opposites don't stay together.

    The avoidant thinks the person is clingy , when in truth they are displaying love and care . The avoidant doesn’t know how to love , so they label the other person as clingy as an excuse to run and hide.

    I guess that I am somewhere in the middle. I learned from my childhood, how to read the room and the subtle emotions of others. I am naturally affectionate and attentive but if the other person gives subtle hints that they are not up for it, I distance myself quickly to give them space and time to themselves. I tell them that I am going to do that so it's not confused with me being upset. I don't get upset by their unexpected need for solitude. I recognize that everyone needs some just like me. I make myself busy in another place until they come to me for attention. I think I am this way because there was lots of nurturing from my extended family that I didn't receive from my narcissistic mother. I was traumatized by her but loved and cared for by many others at the same time. I have some mommy issues but I have been able to work through them and heal for the most part. As for daddy issues, well, I have none of those. You can't miss what you never had in the first place. He is somewhere out there in this world doing what he does and I grew up feeling nothing towards him in any direction. We have and will always be total strangers. I am not sad about this as it was his choice to have it be this way. If he wants to find me, he can.

    Fearful avoidant here and it's a beautiful hell because you get to be both. When you get fearful, you sometimes get clingy, and other times become the avoidant. It's never-ending going back and forth. You basically adopt the opposite strategy of whatever your partner tries to provide to help you. Eventually it so tiring you just flee to get your sanity back. I think ideally a partner needs to provide solid trust and consistency to you so you stop doing this, but this is seen as unreasonable relational work by most people.

      Definitely not narcissism. Being avoidant is just a way of attaining balance. Just like how a clingy person fills that need by wanting more of someone. And its really what she said, its due to a deeper issue. Trauma shapes how people act especially romantically.

    My guess is that he would be the distant person, but I think it's deeper than what she's saying. I think the "distant" person needs authenticity. They might be just as superficial as you and addicted to sugary attention, which is why they break down when you leave, but I think very exclusive types of people are hard for me to interact with because they want everything to be authentic and then you also can't gas them up because they do tend to be admirable, more focused people.

    I had some experiences in life where i met the clingy and the avoidant woman. Yes it's true that when she's avoidant you get your time and space, i said i need this, it's perfect. But then i come to realise that i entered a relationship to feel loved and to really feel that she's there. It made me miss my clingy girlfriend, it made me realise what i lost. Yes she was always calling me about what i was doing and where am i and how was i, but not hearing these wprds from the avoidant girlfriend is just like reading a blank page. i enjoyed my life much more with my clingy girlfriend before, i didn't know i lost something until she's gone. I should've fixed it, accepted it or blend it with myself. It's safe to say for me that these type of person is the wifey or husband type. We just don't like too much love, because it felt too easy. If you have a needy girlor boyfriend and you love her or him, talk to them, tell them to minimize it, that it's not healthy in the relationship. They will try to change... if they really love you

    I was just talking to my shrink about this. Sometimes people find a reason--any reason--to push someone away who they know is getting emotionally close. Often, this kind of person will feel rage at any slight, real or imagined. The person they really like goes from all-good to all-bad. It's called "splitting." A person with this personality will then run. I've been in this dynamic before. But I'm working on it. Clinging isn't necessary. True love is giving so that the other person feels free. Of course, someone with narcissistic traits (or both) will leave to punish the person they believe has wronged them.

    It's correct because you see with people who left a toxic realtionship. They say I don't want, need, just friendship. But they love the attention. The guy initially gives it and she likes it but then she gets tired of it and leaves and says I need my space. The guy slows pulls away because he's trying to make a connection and cares about her and wants something but she leaves. He leaves and then she literally goes and finds him and draws attention again. This keeps happening. This is the game. She wants it but if it's a good guy, she gets bored and freaks out because she's used to the game and drama. The guy isn't.
