really clingy friend(READ DETAILS)?

You need to think about the nature of your friendship with her--it sounds like it's very one sided. She drains you emotionally, and doesn't enrich your life at all. It's not about being selfish, but being emotionally healthy, and setting boundaries so your friendship can become more healthy for both of you.

The hard part is weaning her off constantly contacting you.

You might want to let her know that you get a lot of messages, and they clutter up your in box, so she should try to only message you once a day, or it might get deleted accidentally. Then just respond to one message a day. Set that boundary. Only write back once.

Remember, if she's getting treated for a disorder, you're not her doctor. You're not responsible for taking care of her constantly. You need to allow yourself to let go of that burden.

If it comes down to it, you may have to have a talk with her that will hurt her feelings, and you have to understand that that is okay. If you are simply telling her the truth in a kind way, her response is not your responsibility. If she is a true friend, even if there's hurt to begin with, she'll move past it.

Start by letting her know that you like being friends with her, and that you still want to continue the friendship, but that you're feeling a little overwhelmed with how often she contacts you. Let her know that other people aren't in touch with you that often, and that it stresses you out because you want to be friends, but you also need to be able to breathe. Ask if she could maybe just write you once a day, and then start only responding once a day.

If she refuses to respect that you need some room, you may need to be firm about it by not answering the phone, not responding to messages, etc.

In the end, your friendship will be healthier because of it.

Your in a really difficult situation...I know because I am bi-polar. I realize that I put some people in difficult situations,too.

I know you dont want to hurt her feelings, but your probably going to have to, or you'll bear this burden until she finds someone else to cling to.

You just have to be straight up and honest with her. let her know that you value her friendship, but your concerned that she is relying to heavily on you, and not establishing other means of support---and that you wont always be able to be there for her, so she really needs to start branching out and making new friends.

It may hurt her to hear something like this, but if your not direct with her, it will only get worse.Assure her that your not saying that you dont want to be friend, just that your worried that she doesnt have enough people to give her support and that you'd like to see her take the initiative and meet some new people....people that the two of you can hang out with time to time.

Even if she is hurt(and she will probably use manipulation to make you think that your hurting her way more than you really are0, if she values your friendship, she wont be mad at you very long. If she gets mad, let her make the next move. If she doesnt contact you in a week, then call her.....that week may establish new boundries and give you the breathing room you need to pursue your own happiness

Natural! They just born to be clingy! Scorpio is the sign of bold enterprise, a fearless nature guided by self- control and confidence but geared for action when the time demands. The governing planet, Mars, provides the power with which this sign is packed, denoting the will to surmount all obstacles. Scorpio people are quiet, even secretive in manner, yet highly observant. Once roused to action, they are determined, aggressive and dominant, always ready to champion a cause. When they work for the good of others, they rise to great heights and are much respected, but Scorpio people, always well satisfied with themselves, can become domineering and arrogant. When seeking reform, they show little mercy toward those who oppose them and it is not uncommon for Scorpio folks to stretch a point and justify their actions regardless of honest opposition. Scorpio people are blunt, argumentative and natural fighters but their coolness under fire deceives the opposition and adds to the Scorpio strength.

In face book and my space you don't have to answer all her comments and messages and/or you can pick the times and ones you do respond to. I have never had the problem with one being too clingy in either those 2 places. You can delete someone off face book w/o their knowledge, I think.

you already know that she has issues and receives treatments, so sign in invisible online and hook her up with some friends online and start easing away from her, tell her you have homework or your brother was online or your Mom. she seems like telling her point blank is not working so either get a new screen name on FB and MySpace or just roll with it. good luck.

Just be real, but sweet with her! Say that you will see her when you see her! Tell her that you are busy and your not not talking to her for any reason! Tell her in order to be a good friend you have to spend time with everyone because it's not fair to your other friends to be with her all the time! Good luck

youre going to have to tell her off if u consider her feelings u will never be able to get her off ur spine i had a friend who had this problem with his girlfriend and he was straightforward with her they are still good friends honesty is the only answer

well u can lke say reli nicely to her 'wow youve answered tons of my stuff and commented a lot!' see wat she says. and i guess ur gunna have to tell her. if she understands wen u say that comment ask her if she cud stop, or if she gets all defensive say 'well do u think u cud leave a lil less comments?' see how it works ...

tell her honesty is always the best thing in any kind of relationship...: D

short and simple just be honest and nice!
