Many of us make the mistake of loosing ourselves whether it is in a relationship or meeting new people. When you meet someone and decide to be in a relationship I believe that you should be yourself and not try to be someone that you think the person would want because I am telling you now, you will not be able to keep that up and if the person gets to know the real you and does not like it they are right to leave because that means that they met you under false pretense. Same with friends some people try to dress and act differently just so that they can fit in and impress a certain group of people. Why would you want to be with people who does not let you be yourself. Eventually they will find out you cannot hide forever. So I say let people know who you really are before they get to know you and if they dont like it then they were not worth knowing in the first place. Do not loose yourselfand remember the beauty of life is that every one of us is unique and special in our own way, woudnt it be boring if we all dressed the same way and act the same way and did things the same way just remember that the next time you want to try and impress someone. You need to love and respect yourself because if you dont, you should not expect anyone else to.

Oh gosh. This has happened to so many of my friends - they lose themselves in their relationship. This drives me nuts. It's hard to be friends with someone like this - because a lot of them think their boyfriends are their life - and of course can't seem to find time to be without them. Of course I've never been head over heels in love, either (I don't think lol) so I just don't understand I guess.
