The story

so last year I had a friend Katy. She's really clingy and possessive over me and last year it got to a point where it was kinda suffocating. At that point I started distancing myself from her. Now, second day of school, she's in my lunch block and I don't really want to sit with her at lunch, I wanna sit alone and listen to music. But I don't want to upset her so idk what to do.

its most likely that you wont even see her during lunch cuz of how crowded, and there usually aren't many open seats(at least in my block) so I'd say just go about as normal but if something comes up just say you need time alone :]

man, everybody goes through stuff like this; it kinda sucks when a friend gets all clingy and possessive, right? maybe just be straight up with her and say you need some space to enjoy your own time at lunch?? just my two cents, but I had a clingy friend once too and being honest worked even if it was awkward; like, if she's truly your mate she'll get it and maybe back off a little—sometimes people just need a reality check, y'know? 🤔

i totally get where you're coming from; dealing with clingy friends can be so draining, right??? you have every right to want your personal space and just chill during lunch; maybe try to gently set some boundaries with her; it'll help preserve your sanity 😊😊 hope it all goes smoothly!!!!

you kinda gotta understand that sometimes people are clingy cuz they feel insecure or anxious, but that doesn't mean you have to compromise your own comfort. you've already started distancing, so maybe stick with that course of action and see how it goes—sometimes actions speak louder than words, right? if she approaches you during lunch and it's too much, just be upfront but gentle about needing some alone time. usually when people realize you're serious about setting boundaries, they get the hint eventually. keep your peace in mind as a priority; life's too short to spend it feeling suffocated by someone else's expectations.
