    If she is so clingy she needs to be told. You may need to rehearse this since it is obviously distressing. Get her on her own and sit down with a coffee. Then slowly and gently say that

    on the whole she is a nice / pleasant / good person, but that you cannot accept the amount of time she requires from you as you have your own life. Tell her you don't mean anything personal and you don't mean to criticize, and it isn't that you don't like her, but that she probably has this problem with others because everyone needs space.Explain that the best way to change things, because she really is a nice person, is to understand how friendships work.If she limits the amount of times she calls and will wait until friends call her, nobody will feel pressured to change their own schedules. Suggest once a week is good to chat, for maybe 30 minutes. Tell her you want her to be happy and you do care, but she must do her part if she wants genuine friendship.

    After you have said your piece, give her a quick hug and say you have an appointment with (whatever) and leave her to think about it.

    If you can't bring yourself to talk to her, copy the middle part of this letter and post it to her.

    Good luck,

    You are going to have to be honest with her. Tell her that you don't have to stop being friends but that you need some space. Unless you put the brakes to this, it will never stop. good luck.

    You just need to tell her. If she's hurt by that, well, that's not something you have entire control over.
