The human being is a social being. So spending time with people, talking and having fun is part of our lives. But you have to understand that spending time alone is also essential.
When we are alone, our brain has a chance to relax and focus on really important things. Time alone can promote creativity, self-awareness and more focus.
If you’re the guy who’s never alone – always with his friends or clinging to his girlfriend – maybe you’re the type of man who is emotionally dependent on other people. And that’s a problem.
Emotional dependence affects not only you, but also your girlfriend and your relationship. So it’s always good to try to spend some time alone to unwind and carry out individual projects. Anyone who doesn’t feel well alone isn’t really well.
Stop making your own plans

If you stop living your own life to just follow your girlfriend’s plans, there may be something wrong with your relationship.
Often, within an unbalanced relationship, people lose their own individuality and become a companion accessory. So if you feel like you’re losing your essence, it’s good to rethink your relationship and your values.
Of course, making plans together is important and beneficial to the relationship. But they must be built by both people. You can love a lot and want to live glued to your girlfriend following in her footsteps, but it’s super important to know your value and also know how to put yourself first. After all, the best thing about dating is living amazing moments, but also growing together.
When you’re not together, you’re checking out what each other is doing

You love being glued to your girlfriend and when you’re not with her, all you think about is her, so you’re likely to be the clingy one in the relationship.
It could be from neediness, attachment or possessiveness , but not having the freedom to do things alone in the relationship can be a sign that your relationship is toxic. If your girlfriend is out with her friends, for example, and you want to know her every move, you are not only clingy but also possessive. And too much jealousy can ruin relationships.
It’s nice to worry and miss the person, but we all need space to enjoy our time alone (or with friends) without being tied to the phone. Those who give space also show that they trust the person.
One only goes to the Olympics if the other is together

Okay, this sign is too specific, right? You may not be Gabriel Medina , but if you felt represented by all these topics maybe you are also a man too glued to a relationship.
The Olympics is one of the most important events in the world and one of the curious stories of the next edition, which starts now in Tokyo, was the surfer threatening not to go because his wife couldn’t go (there is a limit of guests per athlete, considering the global pandemic situation).
So, if one day you are asked to go to the Olympics (or any event that is significant to you) and you give up going just because of it, then you should definitely turn on the red flag.
