i have reached out and apologized to her and she said that was the reason why she split from me. she just couldnt handle it

i do have feelings for her still

im not saying im gonna try to get her back but would it be possible to show her im not clingy anymore
Don't even worry about showing her you are not clingy, just move on to the next. When a lady leaves, she is not coming back.

I'm typically clingy, I guess you could say... instead of trying to change myself, I found someone who is just like me and enjoys it.

Don't change yourself or try to be someone else. Make sure you're happy and find someone happy with how you are.

Address the cause not the term.

If you want to have a hope in hell of showing someone you are not "that person" anymore you have to do so by showing you understand where the behavioir came.

It's an uphill battle that will only work if that person is even willing to listen.
One person's clingy is another's devoted. Aside from cases that are really stalking, clingy is a matter of perspective.

In my pre-marriage days, I had been called "clingy" by one man and "aloof" by another, while behaving more or less the same way. It's often a matter of perspective, but that doesn't mean you can't pay attention to certain things you do that might put people off.

That's good advice. It's better to learn from the experience and move on.

Did you not feel valued because you have self-esteem issues, or perhaps, she really DIDN'T value you? We can't really know if you really were/are clingy, or she just used that as an excuse.

Ironically the only way is to leave her alone totally, don't initiate ANY contact with her for awhile but let her contact you or come up and talk to you if she wants to. Also get your life together...people who are happy and fulfilled in their own lives generally aren't clingy because they have a life to live. If you don't, and are trying to fill a hole with a relationship, you need to fill it first.
