It is not wrong by itself, but it can be in the way you go about it. I used to be excessively needy, clingy, and demanding of attention. That drove everyone away, and with time I could see why. My girlfriends were not there to be my mother. I need to become my own self-actualized, individuated person. I am not saying this is your case, but it was for me. I smothered with attention, and drove away with needs.
