High-maintenance friend

A high-maintenance friend is someone who needs intense, consistent time, emotional energy, and attention often. They frequently require constant reassurance, emotional support, and a safe space to be clingy. They need validation, immediate responsiveness, and priority status in your schedule. These people are not for those who cannot keep up, or give them that emotional contribution.
