When does wanting approval cross into losing yourself? It's natural to want your partner to admire and accept you, but not at the cost of your authenticity. There's a difference between trying something new to bond and morphing into who they want you to be. If you've shaped your thoughts, actions, and choices to fit their expectations, you've given away your power. The moment you recognize you're living for their approval instead of your own truth, it's time to reclaim your center. #SelfIdentity #Dating #RelationshipAdvice #SelfLove
