How do i keep myself from being too attached to my friends? I feel like they think i’m beong too clingy/weird when i text them too much.

Being clingy to someone close to you is not a bad thing, this shows how close and attached you are with your friend, but maybe some space would help your friend , and be open to your friends and tell them the reason to why you cling to them. Also ask them if you’re disturbing them with your texts. Seeking help from close friends is always a first priority, depending on the situation that you’re in. Always open up and ask your friends about how they feel when you text them often. If they have a reason suitable to your concern just give them space and they will revert back to you.

Making more friends can help. Having more friends, you can spend more time with 'friends', but less time with each one of them. Also make friends who don’t feel like it is weird to be very attached to them. Having friends whose ideas about friendship is the same as yours can help. And we also have to spend time with ourselves. When people feel like we are being attatched to them and feel clingy about it, it is better to give time and space to them and ourselves. I'm an introvert so may be my suggestion won't be that heplful, but i tried my best 😁.

Well texting them too much doesn’t mean that you are clingy just means that you care about them and you want to talk to them. Try not texting first all the time so you can get used to not talking to them as much. In my personal experience I would always text my friends first and I felt like I annoyed them. A while after I stopped texting first and I barley ever received a “hey” from them anymore. I got unattached and it got easier as time went by. It’s just a matter of time. Talk to them about it.

Firstly, I think that a good relationship comes from mutual respect and care, in that you shouldn't have to feel that you are being too clingy to a friend by reaching out to them too often. However, I also think that the best way to keep yourself from being too attached is by growing your self-esteem and self-confidence. If you are certain in yourself, you will feel less like you need to rely on someone, and the balance of the relationship will most likely become mutual again. You can work on building yourself up first so that you don't feel like you reaching out is being clingy to others, instead it can feel like you are just sharing your feelings and experiences.
