Clingy Friend


Question Posted Sunday March 19 2006, 3:02 pm

There's this girl that keeps calling me her best friend and she constantly clings to me. She's an ok person and I think of her as a friend who'll I talk to once in a while, but in no way do I consider her to be my best friend. She's a nice person and I don't want to hurt her feelings, but how do I get her to leave me alone?

i know what you mean. this girl is probably insecure and doesn't have many other friends. be nice to her, but encourage her to branch out. explain to he rthat you have to and want to hang out with your other friends, too, etc.<3 hope i helped!

Okayy; I've been in this situation before. Just tell her "I don't know you well enough to already call you my best friend". That's what I said, and the girl had no problem with it. Her feelings didn't get hurt either. Hope I helped!

Aww. She probably has little to no friends. That's pretty sad. If I were you, I wouldn't tell her to leave you alone-That would make her feel horrible. Just keep being nice to her but try detaching from her if you really do dread being her "best" friend. --But please don't tell her to leave you alone--imagine if one of your best friends tells you that they don't want to hang out with you just as much anymore...Wouldn't you be hurt? I know I would.

If you really just want to get away from her, don't tell her, but try to slowly detach. If she passes you in the hallway, smile & wave. Don't keep leading her on, because eventually, you'll explode on her, and she will be extremly hurt.
