Ever had a guy that is super controlling and clingy? If you're not sure he is, then read this article to see if any of these symptoms apply. If they do, then maybe you should re-evaluate what he contributes to your life and communicate with him about how this is becoming a problem.

  1. He seems sweet at first, but next thing you know he’s trying to involve himself in every aspect of your life. He’s involved with your friend's life, he’s involved with your work, your school… you get the idea.
  2. He wants to come over every. Single. Day. Attention is great, but when he wants to be apart of your life 24/7 it becomes a problem.
  3. He starts to become clingy to your own friends too. I love a man that is best friends with my friends, but it’s an issue when he starts to even annoy your friends…
  4. He tells literally the whole world that you guys are official when you guys really are not.
  5. He starts to become controlling in very little things in your life that eventually becomes very apparent that he is controlling.
  6. You think he’s advising you, but really he’s just trying to manipulate the situation to his own benefit
  7. His friends start to “spy” on everything you do and update him like it’s their job.
  8. He checks up on you over text message to make sure you are not doing anything stupid without him being there to supervise.
  9. He plays the victim every time you mention that he is getting way too clingy.
  10. He guilt trips you to make himself feel better and seem like a hero to you... when you did not do anything wrong in the situation
  11. In the end, you need to acknowledge that he is the problem and that he needs to give you space to live. If he does not respect that, he does not respect you.

It's important to live a healthy relationship with the man you are seeing or in a relationship with. If any of his actions do bring you negativity in your life, make sure to communicate those concerns with him and vocalize your concerns. If it continues to happen, girl drop him you can do much much better!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
