Also clinging can be I need you, I need you, I need you, and that's fine again, many people like that. So by definition, by clingy we mean somebody who really feels like they can't be anything other than right next to the person that they are in love with. But I have to tell you, that is not a bad thing. Because many people like it. The key to that is be clingy with a person who wants to have someone like that. Someone who is that way needs to find someone who wants that. You know, there are different things for different people, different strokes for different folks, you've heard it. And truly I believe this because I've had so many callers, some like it and some don't and you have to determine what that person likes, and if you are that type of person, you are not going to change. People do not change. In behavioral psychology, we say we can modify behavior, we cannot change people. You are not going to change and the person who wants that feeling is not going to change either. They want that. If you are with someone who doesn't like that, go elsewhere. You cannot be with someone and expect that to work if that is not what you both agree on. So how to stop being clingy? Well, why stop being clingy? You are not going to be something other than what you are. So if you feel that you're clingy and somebody has told you that, you may be with the wrong person. I know that there are going to be consultants as relationship consultants or psychologists who may not agree with me. You know what? That doesn't bother me a bit. This is Doctor Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow.
