Yeah I totally agree. And that’s good that you were able to rectify the problem with your friend so your friend knows you’re not purposely ditching her or using her as a back up friend. Wish more people were like you where they were more accepting of change. And yes, clingy is latching on in a unhealthy manner and may even be not allowing your friend to have other friends and if they do then you get very mad at them.

Yeah I agree that a polite request for common courtesy is not clingy. I believe if someone says your clingy just because you asked them politely to stop doing something may indicate they don’t really care about you. That’s the conclusion i came to when someone called me clingy just because I politely asked her to stop treating me a certain way.
