I've had issues with being called clingy, ppl tend to say that and be less talkative towards me and I think that just shutting myself off and not interacting in my casual clingy fun self (in my eyes)
But idk, rn I feel like I shouldn't care, ppl I'm clingy too should be happy right, I mean if I'm clingy towards someone then I genually care for them, like their in my pack or something and even if I'm being too clingy, I can still chill (right) but I feel uninterested and boring
The Internet says clingy is bad and horrible for a relationship and I still don't know what to say or how to feel about that, I somewhat feel conflicted of how to act or what to do

Here’s the flaw in your reasoning: nobody wants someone who they don’t particularly like to “genuinely care for them”. So being clingy only (sometimes!) flies when you are really loved and needed, if then. Otherwise yeah clingy is bad.
Being clingy and creepy is about consent, people might call you those things when the “attention” is unwanted, basically.
Yeah it’s not good
