Don't Lose Yourself Just Because You Found Somebody!

[Anonymous]

People change. They don't stay as the same person that they were when you met them. And this change sometimes happens without their own will. Of course, they are the one who opens their door to the changes but they are not always willing for it. Sometimes, they change just not to lose a special one.

Change your bad habits not the things that make you

Changing in a good way for someone else is fine. But becoming a completely different person is not good at all. You may have a bad life style, unhealthy habits. You may change these things to be accepted or to make your partner happy. But if you change who you are inside, your personality, yourself, that's the time that you lose yourself! You are not you anymore.

We all say that people should accept us the way we are. But I think it is okay to change our bad habits. It won't make us somebody else. But if you change yourself completely, you will become someone else.

I think the person who asks you such a think- to change yourself completely, must love how you look but not you. Why lose yourself for a person who doesn't like anything about you but your appearance.

So, don't lose yourself, just because you found somebody!

I agree with you! Just because you found someone it doesn't mean you have to change. But, unfortunately for the most part people loose themselves. I always think that for you not to loose yourself in a relationship, you should only put 50% of effort into your relationship as well as your partner should only put 50% to make the relationship 100% the other 50% that you're left with, is the one where you do your hobbies and do what you like doing. This keeps a balance in your life in order for you not to loose yourself.

Great Mytake btw!

That actually makes a great deal of sense!

Exactly , especially if they want thou to change a lot.

Be with someone who makes you be a better person. Someone you want to be do better for yourself because he/she deserve it but to always stay true to who you really are. If you change because he/she does not like a certain personality trait of yours, then they can't accept you.

That's so right and unfortunately most people are like that.

Too many people have no life, no substance, no purpose or path. They need people to make them who they are... and that is fucking sad.

People do change. Since I was a little girl I couldn't outgrow this dream of being a German Shepherd but my boyfriend pushed me to make it true and we spent loads of money on it. Because of him, my dream's come true :)

Are they really changing themselves if they've always been a people pleaser?

[myTake Owner]

Good point, they are always someone different then.

So many people change themselves for their SO then when they are broken up they are lost because they are usually in love with their interpretation of that person
