Is changing your personality for a relationship good or bad?

You can never compromise who you are. If you change the person you are for someone else, then you are using false pretenses. If your part of the relationship is built on a lie, then why could you get mad if they did something wrong in the future?

People should be honest with each other in relationships, be who you are no matter what. If the person you like doesn't like you for who you are, move on. Why be someone else when you have spent your whole life trying to learn to be you?

Many women seek dominant men, for some reason. The bad boy appeal and the control all seems to be what they need. They tend to change who they are, they settle. As a result, they spend the rest of their lives being beaten and controlled.

Be yourself. Do not damage your own emotinal and mental health for the sake of someone else. It is never healthy to be someone you are not. When it comes down to it, you will be the only one you have when everyone is gone. Take care of you, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Be who you are, and be proud that you do. There is someone out there who has searched their whole life for you, but if you are too busy trying to impress someone that isn't worth the time of day, then you will never meet the one who will be glad for who you are.
