Should you ever change yourself in order for someone to like you? (Page 2)

[Blackcupcake]

never. if there’s anything you choose to change, it should be to make yourself happy. but instead of changing, why not love and appreciate yourself as you…

[cryscrys1]

You can but it won’t last for too long.. that’s why it’s recommend you be yourself. Maybe you realize you are better off alone who knows

[inkyvampire]

If they can’t like you for who you are they don’t deserve you. You will never like yourself for pretending to be what they want you to be.

[lalaloveee]

I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not. Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

[FinalFantasyBro]

I am not going to lie no you shouldn't whoever gave you that advice should be slapped. Don't change yourself for others both men and women the right guy and the right girl will eventually come.

[SallyB2v]

Only of you feel that there is something that you would like to improve about yourself for you, never for someone else unless you are modifying a bad behavior.

[AsaKyo]

No, you should not

If you have to change yourself to meet someone's "requirements", then they're not someone you should be wasting your time on anyway

[TroyDT2]

"In order for" no, but if it happens to be something that is a self-improvement and it just happens to attract someone, that is fine.

[Paul09]

Advancing, growing, improving, becoming better version of yourself everyday, then yes. To change your lifestyle, values, views, interests , no. You are you , always be you. Unless you're a bum or something.

[CoolCatMar1]

Of course not. If they really love you they will take you the way you are with all your imperfections

[anon1903]

Change? No way!

Improve? Sure. As we age, we need to make some changes and prioritise happiness.

[Anonymous]

I’ve had people telling me I should change some things in my character/personality and I’ll do it if their reasons are reasonable and come from a place of love to help me become better.

[Fanfare690]

Technically you totally shouldn't

But we all do it

[Jhunitor]

Depend. Would I start wearing longer/shorter hair/beard or changing clothing style for her? Maybe. Would I change my hobbies, my friends, my opinions, my vote, etc. ? No.

[t_time]

Simple answer no. True colors always find a way to show eventually

[Dargil]

No you should not. You can make adjustments to your comportment, though like politeness

[call_me_scar]

If it's a genuine flaw like double dipping then yes but things like changing what you like and your friends then no thats a red flag

[TacosRAwesome]

Maybe. I mean if what you're currently offering isn't selling then maybe it's time to update the product.

[socair]

depends... if the change makes you happy then why not

I can see a lot of people who would benefit themselves by changing how they are

[Pudsmucker]

Just continue to be yourself. Don't expect people to change. A person can change only to improve themselves. You shouldn't change just to keep your boyfriend.
