The clingy girlfriend has a high fear of abandonment and a low fear of intimacy. The desperate lady is terrified that you'll abandon her at any time. Everything will appear normal at first. She'll be cold at first but as soon as you show any interest in her, she'll be full of love and want to be with you. This is how needy girls become needy women. Needy girls are always looking for their next meal, place to sleep, or experience. If you can't give them this, they won't feel loved or wanted. They are usually not aware of how much they need you until you don't give it to them anymore. Then they'll do anything to get your attention again. This makes them cheat on you, hurt you emotionally, and sometimes even physically. You should learn from others' mistakes. Don't let a needy girl push you away because she knows we all need love and support in order to be happy.
