Possessive?

Not possessive. They're people, they can look after themselves. Same with me.

I couldn't have said it better myself

 

Not very

 

I wouldn't say that I'm possessive, but I would say that I'm protective. I feel very protective of my close friends and family members and I feel very loyal to them as well. But being possessive is not something I foresee myself as having an issue with in a relationship.

 

Depending on the person I can be mildly possessive.

 

I'm modestly possessive. I don't like it when I'm not prioritized by people I care for, but I'm not into smothering people with my love either.

 

I'm pretty possessive. I don't mean to be, but I just am. I am very clingy and I get really upset when I'm away from people for too long. I also tend to get really jealous when someone I care about is paying more attention to someone else than me. I try not feel like this as much as I can, but I'm just naturally like this.

 

Low key very possessive. Lol it's unintentional but I've always been this way.

 

I don't own them and should never expect to do so, especially if I don't want them to treat me like they own me. It would be supremely hypocritical of me to hate clinginess while being possessive. Apart from the basic loyalty, respect and honesty which necessarily underly friendship, there's very little I can actually demand from friends or be compelled to comply with.

Friendship is a relationship whose best feature is the autonomy of the people involved. Possessiveness is corrosive to that idea.

 

I'm least possessive about most people. I'm mildly possessive (and obsessive) about a few (un)lucky folk. And I like them being similarly possessive (and obsessive) about me.

I used to be highly possessive (and obsessive) when I was a teenager. Not exactly School Days level possessive, but crazy enough! I think I'm wanting to give hope to people that they can become less possessive.

It's cool to be protective. It's also important to encourage folk to get stronger for their own sake. Then you can effectively wreak havoc together!

 

What do you mean by possessiveness? How does it show in your case?

 

I've got issues, I'll admit. I'm mildly possessive, depending on the person.

 

I think i'm mildly possesive, i get attached to people kinda fast, and i still want to be friends with some people who don't seem to like me.

 

I answered this and mistook possessive for protective. In the right circumstances I'm extremely protective of them (maybe because I'm older/bigger), and I save them from being ran over at least 3 times a week. As for possessive, they can do what they want, they're their own people. What they do doesn't affect me.

 

So it's more about jealousy of your friends. How I understand possessiveness is that you try to control the behavior of the target of your possession. To some extent it is natural to be jealous of your friends but it's not good if it is very intense.

You criticize your friends' new friends because subconsciously you may either feel you are more entitled to their time or you fear that this new friend will steal your friend from you. If this is the case the root of that might be a self-esteem issue.

Protectiveness is perfectly natural. However, in a mature and balanced relationship friends do not unconditionally protect each others. For example, if one friend constantly gets into trouble and expects the rest of the friends take his side no matter what he has done is not a sign of balanced friendship.

And yes, I'm mildly to moderately jealous of my close friends. I can tolerate them having better friends than I am or them finding new friends but if a new friend gets anywhere near to my level of friendship in a short period of time I'm hugely dissatisfied although I regulate my behavior not to show this.

 

Hell yea I'm possessive if I'm dating don't compliment, stare at, flirt with, look at, or touch my guy unless you wanna get cut
