stage 5 clinger

AI Overview
A "stage 5 clinger" is a slang term for someone who becomes excessively and quickly attached to a partner, exhibiting neediness, insecurity, and obsessive behaviors like constant texting, demanding attention, and lacking social awareness. This term originates from the 2005 movie Wedding Crashers, where a character named Gloria was described as a stage 5 clinger. Clinginess can stem from anxious attachment styles and a fear of abandonment, but it can become overbearing if unchecked, damaging healthy relationships.
