Me: *talks to someone* Oh man, now they’ll think I’m clingy.
Me: *doesn’t talk to someone* Oh man, now they won’t know I want to be their friend. 
/repeat ad infinitum

When I was a very young child – maybe only 5 or 6 – my best (and only) friend told me I was too clingy and possessive (not in those words ofc) and I’ve never ever forgotten that. Then she moved away and I had no friends at all for about 2 years 🙂 Childhood slights last forever man :S
