Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Long backstory:   This girl and I knew each other from church, I grew up in this church and she was introduced to my church by her aunt in her preteens. When she first came in, she was much closer to this other girl and besides the weekly pleasantries exchanged we never went beyond acquaintances. Few years after, the other girl stopped coming and she started going around alone. I felt bad for her and so I started to include her in my group of friends.


The first few years were fine, but subsequently she started becoming very clingy towards me, showing me physical affection and literally latching onto me despite my very obvious shows of discomfort. For a year I tried my best to stay away from her, but felt bad again and opened up to her, letting her touch me and stuff.  

She hasn’t gotten baptised despite half her life in church, and I have no negative thoughts regarding that because I don’t want to come off as the staunch Christian who drives away people with religion. And since her parents don’t come to church, along with me being part of 95% of the conversations she has in church, it’s evident I’m the only person keeping her in church. She says she believes but when asked whether she wanted to get baptised she always avoided the question. But that’s not my point. 


We’re both adults now, I’ve known her for close to 10 years, we’re the same age so we experienced changing of schools and major events in the same period. I would think as adults she would be more thoughtful of others or more socially aware. It’s getting very frustrating, she only turns up for events I go for, otherwise she will never go. When she comes, she sticks to me and I cannot hold proper conversations with other people because she’s always butting in. I feel like an asshole because sometimes I just want her to leave my side for a minute or two, especially in a church context any negative words is almost blasphemous. 


AITA? I’ve tried talking to her about it but she didn’t really get my point.
