People tend to cling to me

I seem to have a pattern of “friends” who cling to me. I feel like a lot of times I don’t even really like them but they seem to think the world of me? They do so much for me but it almost feels manipulative to me?

They often want to hang out every single day (these friendships happen one at a time). Which is way too much for me. Sometimes I’ll allow them to stay at my place even after I’ve left for work just bc they don’t seem to know when to leave. I’ve let them spend the night many times bc again they don’t want to leave. One of them would even drive me to work, never asked for that, even though it was just like a 12 min walk for me. The friend right now was cat sitting for me and like cleaned my whole place did my laundry and dishes too?

Why I feel like it’s manipulative is like one of them was also mean to me?? And like envious? Like she would have soooooo many guy problems and would ask for my advice and I’d be honestly idk I’ve never had these problems and she said “well you do s*x w*rk of course guys like you” like oh okay that’s all I am to you then I guess? She would say spiteful things like that but still act like besties? One of them was a guy who apparentlyyyy had a crazy ex girlfriend (I grew to see he was prob the crazy one) and would come to my place and yell and throw shit on the ground and like I barely even wanted to be his friend and he’s disrupting my safe space 😭 the current one is a compulsive liar and about the stupidest shit she knows I know she’s lying (she’s 22 I’m 28). I really don’t know why these people love me I feel like I barely say a word around them bc they just fuckin yap to me.

My job is extremely social. When these people hang out with me I honestly don’t give them much. I go like nonverbal after work. I feel like they like me bc they can just vent to me and I’m just there for them to talk to. I barely even say anything back just a lot of nodding and mhmmms.

I really don’t know why I attract these people. I cherish my alone time and the people I attract wanna hang out every single day!!!! And face time when we’re not together!!!! I’m fuckin tired!!!!

And I am a great friend to my friends. My real friends know we may not hang out much, but 1. We text a lot bc that’s much easier for me and 2. When we do hang out it’s magical. These people who latch on to me just give me an eery feeling. AITA???? Lmao do you think they genuinely like me or like I think, they’re taking advantage of my flimsy boundaries lmao
