I am very clingy person but I don't like being this way.I have many friends.However I seem to run off many because I come off too strong, not meaning anything by it, just being me.I sometimes feel like I am going to explode if I don't express or show how I am feeling.I don't want to change who I am but I don't to be a clingy person or at least I don't want to show everyone that.Being clingy isn't a very flattering quality so what should I do about it

Hello Clingy- That's not a bad thing, as long as you don't smother people. There are guys out there who love women like you, and you shouldn't change for anyone else but yourself, if you can't see that you can only be who you are to try and be different you are only going to create someone who you won't like. I wish I could find someone who would cling to me (my age). Be proud, be you. OK Be real. Good Luck Be Happy

Learn to accept it. Sometimes, we have personality traits that other people don't like. But if they love you unconditionally like friends should, they'd understand this about you.
I'm extremely bad about calling my best friend and seeing how she's doing. But we have an understanding, and that's just who we are. We've been best friends for 17 years (and we're both in our late 20s). We just love each other, flaws and all.
Some day, you'll meet someone who understands who you are and that this is a part of it. But if you want to try and tone it down, pay attention to what kinds of behaviors you exhibit while feeling clingy, and pay attention to how people react in the moment. Then, be open and honest about it with them. If they react like you're weird, they probably don't understand that it's just who you are. If they tell you what makes them uncomfortable, than you can know what to do to improve friendships and feel more comfortable with it yourself.
Good luck, and have a hug! :) (I'm clingy, too, when people get to know me.)

Keep it. It is part of who you are. I married a clingy person. I didn't like it either at first. But I accepted her for who she was. If someone doesn't like it...well, screw them. They are not worthy of your presence. so what you need reassurance. So what you are a passionate person. If they want to judge you. Let them judge you. Be who you are, and do not change. Let them accept you. Take care. Good Luck.

I don't know what the problem is. You wouldn't bother me if you were my friend. I'm not easily ran off and true friends wouldn't be either.

I don't think it's very nice of you friends to run off.
