Do not be yourself, often affects your relationships. Unfortunately, you might think to have intimacy with success, you have to ignore your own will and desires, and not express what is really on your mind. But are not you sabotaged your relationships.
Is there something you can do about it?
Develop self-awareness will allow you to understand the reasons that prevented you from being yourself in the past and realize how affected your relationships. Then you become motivated to get up the courage to be yourself becoming genuine and sincere and behave according to what feels right to you, a sense of personal autonomy and self-confidence. This allows you to develop and maintain a successful intimacy.
Yep. From a guys point of view I highly recommend you read this. Awesome book, basically advising how you have to be more confident in your self as a person for who you are a and not being afraid to express your sexual desires toward women.
I admit, I'm typically not my true self with pretty much anyone. Why? Because they don't get me and I feel silently judged. So I have to fake it. I basically go against almost all of the assumptions made about a woman/person. And instead of accepting me, people shake their heads at me. Yes, this includes close friends, family, and people I date.
However since I found my X who was the first person to accept me and love me wholeheartedly, all my good and bad stuff, I was finally able to open up and be myself completely with him. With everyone else, I was never 100% me, ever. I'm not saying I don't stand up for what I want/believe in, but I am saying I do certain things so I will be more readily "accepted". Obviously, it does nothing for a relationship in the long term.
I'm trying to be my authentic self, but when there's only 1 or 2 people in your entire life who accept and get me, it's kinda hard. And although I don't care what people think, I do get tired of being judged.
