Girls, would you rather be accepted for who you really are, rather than who others think you should be?

Guru

Like we are not always angels all day long... are we?

Aren't there some imperfections involved?

Does it make you feel like you're in heaven when your partner, or even a friend, says..."I love you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!"?

Meredith and Shelly wrote this song and to me it is so right on about how our moods are sometimes fluid and we may act the way we are feeling at the time, which is not always the best.

In her song, "BITCH", she says that, for those times..."You'll have to be a stronger man" and let me be who I am!

I know what she is saying and it's..."Please still love me and I will still love you, and even more for your patience with me!" ... OMG! ... I just love this song!

If you can't, or don't want to listen to it, just click on the link under the song and you will see the words of the song... PLEASE?"BITCH" by Meredith Anne Brooks and Shelly M Peiken

How do you feel about being accepted for who you are with love and patience?

Share your thoughts... PLEASE?

Girls, would you rather be accepted for who you really are, rather than who others think you should be?

A. OMG! YES! I so love a partner who will love and totally accept me for who I really am and doesn't live a fantasy of who they would like me to be!

B. No, not accepting me for who I am is who they are, so I need to accept that

C. OTHER, see my comments below, or just open the "True Acceptance" survey

You are making yourself a disfavor by accepting to be what the others want you to be rather than to be perhaps the black sheep but true to yourself.

People are not leaders because they accept to be subjected but because they stand out with their own ideas and character.

Not only are you showing a weak character and lack of self confidence but you are also subjecting yourself to group/peer pressure. You become a follower and not a leader. You don't dare to voice your opinions because they go against what others think of you.

I much rather go against the flow (which I sometimes do here on GAG) but know that I have the courage to speak out and perhaps make a fool out of myself and eventually an enemy.

And if people don't accept me for whom I am, then tough beans...

In my first 2 years of college, i felt like i had to fake my interests to appeal to white guys. For my last 2 years, i said fck it. Now i find a lot of white guys who like me for who iam. Yet im not that interested in them anymore. I still like em but I don't know i kinda want someone who understands my culture a bit better

I think some people are meant to know you to certain degree, not anybody can accept you but the more the merrier so yeah why I would prefer to be accepted for who I am
With time it gets harder and harder to pretend like you are in some play

Yes, that's why I stopped being a follower (used to be that way in high school cause I wanted friends and people to like me) and have my own style. I don't care anymore what people think of me. I love for myself, not for others. If it makes me happy and doesn't harm myself or anyone else, then that's all that matters.

Being yourself feel like freedom and helps with your self-esteem and happiness for sure. I am able to be 100% myself with my fiancé and he loves me for who I really am which is the best feeling in the world :) so yes, I'd rather be accepted for who I really am!
