This is true. Some people will never understand no matter how you try to put it out to them politely. They don’t even look at your facial expression to at least get the clue.
I had a clingy friend (and by clingy, I am particularly referring to people whose presence around you only deducts and adds little to nothing to your life and they just want to stick around). I had to abruptly stop talking to, I stopped picking up her calls, moved and I’ve made sure she doesn’t know where I stay. I never pick up her calls, only texting once in a while. And I always tell her that I am not in town, I am in the village. I am free now, we chat once in a while.

No polite way for some people, just take the steps and free yourself.
Maybe she want you to knack her nah bros you self jonze

We've been friends since 2021. She acts clingy, I don't like it, but I've been enduring it so I won't hurt her feelings. I've told her more than twice, but she doesn't stop.

You made her fall for you
Just so you can bed her

Now that you've had ur way with her
She's all over you like bees on honey

And you just not comfortable with the
clinginess she's exhibiting towards ya?

Hahaha grin

Be a little specific - what sort fo clinginess does she show exactly? Coming to your house every day? Blowing up your phone? Following you every where?

The particular nature of the act and the intensity of it will determine how best to discharge her.

sometimes in life just talking matters out helps

Sit her down, explain why her clingy attitude can be regarded as toxic and why its draining you
Make her see the up sides of being clingy and the down sides.
Make her understand that the downside outweigh the up side.
Let her understand that you value her friendship that's why you've not abruptly cut her off
Then let her know that cutting her off, though is your last resort, but remains an active option
Then advise her to reduce her clinginess so that you can both still maintain your friendship in pure happiness

You may get two reactions
1) She may totally withdraw from you (immature)
2) She may gradually withdraw (maturity)
However, don't be too hasty to experience this change from her. Remember habits take time to change.

INEC did not rig the elections in a polite manner. They compulsively and menacingly perpetuated unbridled impunity, then shoved it down our throats without recourse to propriety or any sense of responsibility.

So tell your friend to her face that she's annoyingly clingy and you've had enough of it.

No need sugar-coating anything!

The truth is you'll never feel someone is clingy if you truly love them. If you feel she is clingy you need to ask yourself if you truly love her

Offer him your anus to drill , tell.him you are suddenly gay and you want him to drill your anus. He will run away.

Idiot since you need advise from totally strangers at your age so take my advice then. Mugu pS: if you are uncluck and he turns out to be a closet gay and jumps at the opportunity to drill your anus well consider it a surprise.

Blowing up my phone and expects me to be with her throughout the day whenever we meet in school.

Well I am currently experiencing such too, and I was thinking of what to do but I discovered that all you need to do is be true to who you are, don't go out of your way to satisfy her because she is a woman and also dont take advantage of her because she is clingy because you will regret it. Just be yourself bro and once she sees that you are there because of your sincere heart she will respect you and your boundaries. Good luck bro
