If you like something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours. If not, it wasn’t meant to be.
–Richard Bach
When someone kisses you, you don’t want it to feel like they’re trying to suck the life out of you. When someone hugs you, you don’t want to feel like they’re trying to crush your rib. When someone tells you they love you, you don’t want it to feel like handcuffing them.
But who decides if a lover is “too clingy”? Obviously, it’s someone they’re sticking to. If you end up feeling trapped instead of protected, annoyed instead of flattered, and drawn closer than desired, you probably have someone who is too attached to you.
Here are four zodiac signs that may end up being a Stage 5 Clinger.
On the first day, Cancer brings flowers. The second day, they brought the U-Haul. They stick as fast and as hard as a river leech—and you may have to make a big effort to get them off your side if it all seems too big. Emotionally sad, Cancers expect everyone to fall in love with them, are obsessed with them, and can’t get them out of your head at all, just like they are with you. They will wake you up and tell you that they love you. They will come into the bathroom and hug you while you shower. If you like that, you’ll love dating a Cancer. But if it doesn’t sound good to you, you may need to end up getting a restraining order.
There is an episode of Seinfeld when George tells a woman he’s breaking up with her, and she comes back with a firm and firm, “NO.” I’ll bet this woman was a stubborn Taurus. A fickle Earth sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love, Taurus has trouble taking “no” for an answer. When they cross you, they start bombing you like it’s World War III. If they like you enough, they might even suggest implanting a GPS chip in you so they can track your whereabouts at all times. They’ll say it’s to make sure you’re okay, but you’ll feel like they’re checking you out.
Pisceans love to be loved and fear the thought of losing someone who has pierced the veil of intimacy and entered the dark, forbidden part of their heart. They are ruled by Jupiter, which makes them very loyal—maybe a little again sincere. They know that they are needy people, they are painfully aware that it can be a turnoff, but in most cases they cannot help themselves from seeking constant reassurance. You may end up confirming them every five minutes. You can end up feeling like the most active person in the parking lot who has to make sure every time. The saddest part is that in their desperate attempts to hold on to you, they may end up pushing you away.
It’s nice to feel wanted. It’s bad to feel pressured. Of all the star signs, Virgos are most afraid of rejection. That’s why when they fall in love, they cling to you as if you are the protector of life. They feel that if they don’t hold it tight, it will slip through their fingers. They may end up being extremely jealous, even admitting to being constantly accused of cheating, no matter how honest you are. They may start to panic when they hear that you are withdrawing. They may even try to alienate you from family and friends just so they can be with you all.
