So you’re constantly texting your S.O, checking in to see where they are what they’re up too. If you don’t know where they are it freaks you out and if they don’t reply you check their Snapchat location or find my friends. Don’t do that. You’re texting back and forth should be pretty equal. If you’re blowing up their phone and they don’t reply, take a step back. Chill, trust and live your life while they’re out living there’s.
You don’t completely trust them.

Not completely trusting your partner is never a good thing for a relationship. But it doesn’t mean your clingy. It’s what you do with that distrust that makes you clingy. Maybe you’re always questioning them or need to be in contact 24/7 so they don’t do something bad.
If you don’t trust them completely ask yourself why? Have they done something to betray your trust or is it a past relationship that makes you uneasy with trusting your significant others? If you don’t know why you don’t trust them, that’s an internal issue that will make you clingy. Figure out why you don’t trust them and how you can fix that.
You’re constantly checking their social media.

Do you scan their Instagram or Twitter to see who’s photos they’re liking and who they’re interacting with? Whether you don’t trust them and you think they’re liking another girl’s stuff or you just have to know what they’re up too. Take a step back because that’s super clingy!
You want to spend every moment with them.

You should want to spend time with your S.O often. But if you’re abandoning your girlfriends to hang out with them, that’s a sign that you’re clingy. If you don’t want to go anywhere without them, that’s being clingy. Even if you’re head over heels, you still need time apart. It’s ok to hang out a lot but both of you should be hanging out with your own friends too.
You follow them around.

Are you following your S.O around like a lost puppy? Harsh but don’t do this! Maybe you go to a party together at school and you just follow them around the whole time even though you have other friends there? If you ever feel like you’re following them around or your friends tell you, you are, you want to reevaluate how you’re acting around bae.
You always need validation.
Giphy
Do you always need the validation of the state of your relationship or that you’re significant other loves you? Take a breath and chill because this comes off as needy and clingy. The state of your relationship is an occasional discussion. If you need validation in your relationship often, it’s an internal insecurity that can come off as being clingy.
You’re always posting how great they are on social media.
Giphy
Once in a while is ok to post about your S.O. But once a week, posting a photo declaring how great they are and how much you love them? Clingy and it seems like you’re trying to convince yourself and everyone else of how great your relationship is and that your S.O is yours. If you’re secure in your relationship, you don’t need everyone’s approval.
