“We accept the love we think we deserve.” I read this quote somewhere. I have seen a lot of people, including myself, sabotage their own relationships because of their fears.

Or agonize so much about “something,” that they stop doing that “something.” Even if that “something” is good for their life. It's a weird human phenomenon. Great video @ultravioletmag.

Absolutely in the past I used to try to change myself to be more attractive to someone and they just ran away anywYs; I think most pll do it. Now I don’t do that I can’t get ppl to leave lol

LOL. I have done the same thing. Trying to impress my partner at the expense of not being myself. I think people sense how confident you feel with yourself. People subconsciously are attracted to people who have that confidence. So if we try to change for others, and not be ourselves, it naturally makes us unattractive to the other person.

It may have something to do with not being genuine also. People don't like others that lie to them, and so if you're lying about your true personality, people sense that. That creates a lot of work for people to get to know you, because you're putting up a mask. So that also makes you unattractive…and a lot of work! Funny, I've never thought about this in depth before until now.

I spent the first half of my adulthood trying to impress others, trying to change myself to what I thought they wanted. And it got me nowhere with relationships. As soon as I disregarded that, and just acted like me, I had no problem finding and keeping a relationship…and making new friends.

I think everyone does this honestly and the irony is yoh alwyas lose the pll anyways you bend yourself to fit. I agree I think authenticity is rly attractive

Perfect 😎
