Whenever you find yourself choosing to be less of yourself to please other people, you have a problem. Funny how that happens in ALL relationships, not just romantic ones. I'm ever learning to not compromise who I am and what I want so others feel more comfortable or will like me. Maybe part of that comes from being an Army brat and always having to make new friends. . maybe it comes from always being the "big girl" and wanting to be wanted/liked.
All I know is that at this point I tired of it. I've learned to say no when I really want to say it (I'm working on the not feeling guilty part). I've learned to walk away from a person/situation when I'm being trampled on and start feeling beat up. I've learned that who I am is okay and I actually like me. I like my goofines, energy, optimism, tenacity, ability to focus, love of children, ability to make people feel included. . .I could go on :P I've come to realize that while I may not be the jazziest, most decked out, most eloquent, just all around illest, I am the best ME there is.
