The word is important for me trying to figure out which of the people I know fit that category, it's just that simple.

What's the closest thing to it?

Such a person might be described as clingy.

Via Merriam-Webster:

tending to stay very close to someone (such as a parent) for emotional support, protection, etc.

I've personally always heard the word used with a negative connotation. Example usage:

Chances are you don't have much of interest in being the clingy one in a relationship. It comes with a whole slew of negative connotations — worst of all being jealousy.
