there are lots of different meanings for clingy in relationships, it depends on your own feelings and what you feel is 'too much' but in my own opinion i would say, someone that doesnt give you time to be yourself, who wont give you time to grow as a person. Unfortunately clingy can turn into controlling so keep an eye on whether you feel you can be who you want to be. Time to yourself, and time away from your partner is just as important as spending time with them. unfortunately with the other being clingy if you say to them that you dont like something in particular you should make sure that you arent doing that thing also.

When a person is "clingy" it usually means that he/she needs to be constantly by your side or to always have your attention. This could make you feel suffocated and like you need more space.

People begin to label someone as "clingy" when they are constantly texting that person even when they might not be getting a response. Also another sign of this could be, always having to see that person and being angry when they can't or do not want to hangout. Not letting someone see and or talk to other people, and only letting them speak or see you is very possessive and could be considered clingy as well.

Having a clingy personality means that a person tends to stay very close to someone for support, protection, and more. When you’re in love, especially in those early stages where every call, text, or in-person meeting is enough to leave you buzzing—it can be very easy to slip into a habit where you constantly crave the attention of your partner. When a boyfriend/girlfriend is so obsessed with you, they just don't want to leave your side and they just want to spend time with you every time they see you. However, despite your best intentions, acting clingy towards your significant other may not always be an attractive trait. In some cases, it can do more harm than good in your relationship.
