Be True To Yourself In A Relationship

It occurs to me that I have a lot more wisdom concerning deep relationships than other people.

I guess other people have issues being open, honest and vulnerable. I don’t. Never have. When I’m in a relationship, I will explain absolutely everything about myself. Wounds, flaws, strengths, all of it. Granted this can cause other issues, but I don’t really care. I want the person I’m with to KNOW who they are with, flaws and all. And I expect the same in return. Don’t you want to be loved for who you REALLY are, for better or worse?

It seems like others don’t feel the same way. Other people just want to act a certain way and hide things from the people they are with. Doesn’t that feel horrible? Doesn’t it feel horrible to think to yourself, “Oh, I can tell my Significant Other about this. Then they won’t LOVE me. Then they won’t ACCEPT me. Then they will be MAD at me.” Don’t you want someone who loves you for YOU? Don’t you want someone who KNOWS you, UNDERSTANDS you and LOVES you completely? Isn’t that the point? If they can’t accept you for something you are, did or said… aren’t they the wrong person to be with???

I just don’t get it. I never have. I don’t understand games and lies. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of a relationship? Isn’t the whole point for them to love YOU, not some phantom you pretend to be?

Oh right. Most people just want sex or an ego boost. What a sad and pathetic way to live.

Stop trying to be something you’re not. Stop trying to impress the opposite sex. Stop hiding your “less desirable” qualities. Be yourself and love yourself – that’s the only way you will find someone ELSE who loves you for YOU.

If you have to lie and hide, you are wasting everyone’s time.

Someone WILL love you for being yourself. Don’t be afraid. It seems scary, but it’s not. It is freeing. It is empowering. Can you imagine? Someone who loves you EVEN THOUGH <insert scary secret here>? You can do it. Don’t be afraid. If someone doesn’t like it, that’s fine – the right person is out there. Now instead of desperately clinging to this one WRONG person’s love, you can actually go out there and find the RIGHT person!!!
