Superpower- “Klingy”
About the Superpowers you didn’t know you had. Are there no more Kling-ons?
“Bangwl’ SoH. Bang Janluga’ YlbuS.” (Translates to “Love endures, love shall conquer all.”)
A romantic quote in Klingon
***Yes, I am also a Trekkie—well, not a full fledged one, but I do have a few friends who are. I would like to dedicate this article to my Star Trek brothers and sisters who have kept life at corporate bearable, as well as to my fellow readers who all have this superhero trait called, Klingy.
Definition of the word “clingy” per Merriam-Webster:
Tending to stay very close to someone for emotional support and protection.
Per my Exes:
I am overly dependent on a romantic relationship.
I have high expectations of the relationship.
A romantic relationship is a lie. There is no such thing as a romantic relationship. We don’t need to hold hands anywhere.
We don’t need to show affection in public.
History of the word (*Google)
The earliest known use of the adjective clingy is in the early 1700’s in a dictionary by John Kersey around 1708–15 to describe as someone being attached to and dependent to.
Stigma in society about being clingy: (*Google Reference)
Society may deem being “clingy” as a weakness and derogatory as someone who is clingy who may have suffocating relationships or feeling of being overwhelmed by the partner. This leads to feeling for the lack of personal space and independence causing strain in a relationship if one partner feels smothered.
Personal Thoughts:
I call “Klingy” a superpower trait!
Why?
Because if you can show affection, you can show love!
Everyone wants to feel they are loved.
I feel most alone when I don’t feel that someone loves me.
‘I have every bone in my body telling me that being “klingy” has been a lost trait and hand in hand so does intimacy in a romantic relationship. I can also describe this term as being “touchy feely”, and pride myself as having such a superpower trait.
However, I do firmly also believe that when you show affection and devotion towards a partner that strengthens the emotional bond of your relationship. And giving a relationship your all is all that matters.
In my experiences in romantic relationships, it is best to discuss the level of affection you both are expecting during the very first few weeks of your budding romantic relationship. When you communicate openly about your expectations while being in love, both partners will feel loved and supported without feeling restricted or overwhelmed.
