I have always changed myself for family members in the hope that I would be accepted. I've changed so far that I didn't recognize myself at all. I haven't been able to keep it up and now I've just distanced myself from those family members who can't take me for who I am. At least feel better about myself and enjoy life more. You wrote this very well.
You've probably found your true self and haven't turned into someone you don't want to be. Sometimes that requires someone to push you in the right direction, and that person doesn't necessarily have to stay part of your life.
No, I never changed myself for someone else, but only chose myself in certain ways. I took the space for myself to do the things I wanted to do. That took a lot of getting used to for my partner and family at the time, but after a while, they saw my new self, which made me very happy.
Interesting story about building a relationship with the idea of changing yourself or. customisable. Autobiographical? After reading the story, I also wonder if this was written from the husband and wife relationship or from a woman - woman relationship.
If I have done it and it's not bad to make certain adjustments to have better relationships in the area of friendship or a romantic relationship. I think it's excellent that you have the maturity to make changes and adjustments to be better friends, better people and better couples every day.
