<human>: Hey y'all. I just wanted to see if anyone here has any good advice for a girl feeling sorry for herself. 

This is the second time a man has told me I'm being clingy and not independent enough in our relationship.

Here's my problem; I'm one of those girls who likes to see their boyfriend [23M] (been together 3 months so far with 2 months of dating beforehand) all the time, I have a job but I don't work as much as him and when he's free sometimes he's busy with other things. I try really hard to be understanding and not bother him, but sometimes the time apart really adds up for me. He sees me as much as he can but sometimes only for a couple hours or so, and I don't feel like it's really enough. I try so hard to just not care and do other things, but I'm constantly thinking about him and the next time ill see him. It's like an addiction, but sometimes I get upset and overreact when he can't see me. 

I'm so upset at myself because I love this man, and I really want to keep him, but I'm afraid I'll push him away by being so needy and clingy. I need help, coping tools, ideas, anything to help me be a normal functioning human female in my relationship. I'm terrified of losing him. 

Important notes: within the past year my friends have all gone their own ways, leaving me with 1 friend who just left for 5 months. My previous boyfriend was emotionally abusive, controlling and put time limits on our relationship due to uncontrollable circumstances. Not sure if this helps.

<bot>: I'm afraid me being so clingy will ultimately push my loving amazing boyfriend away. I need help with ideas on how to be more independent and not so consumed by the relationship.
