i’m kinda the same way…then i think it’s not fair that they may fall for a version of me that isn’t true and then you get upset about that / at them and it causes issues. imagine yourself being liked by someone who actually deserves it…don’t settle okay?

just keep reminding yourself that you don’t want him to like a version of you that isn’t really you. if you’re authentic and true to yourself and he’s not interested then that’s a good thing because you’re not wasting his time or your own. statistically speaking there’s someone out there for you and you don’t want to waste your time with someone you have to pretend around

Exactly!!! And I just don’t know how to be myself. And I feel like if I try to be myself I like overcompensate so I’m still not even myself. And thank u, I definitely won’t settle. I want to be comfortable with the man I marry

Very true, very true. That’s what I always tell myself but for some reason I just want to be the perfect person. But ik I can’t be that for everyone. I think I’m just a ppl pleaser and I need to work on that. But I will take what u said and really try to remind myself, thank u
