Do you feel the current people within your life at the moment.. Truly love you for who you are? Do you feel you can show your true colors around these people? Without even having to pretend to be something your not? If so explain as to why you feel these people love you for who you are.. And how you can be yourself around them.
Does that mean you can just sit there in your sweat pants while crying without worrying what this person may think of you? Do they exercise guidance & accept you even when you are a mess sometimes?
I think we all in life want people as apart of our life who accept, but also love us for who we are. Where we are able to display our true colors to them without worrying what they may think.. Where we don't have to be fake around these people just so they will accept you for who you are.
I feel that I have that with a special person in my life. I also believe that it's difficult for people to find this these days.. And when we do find these things that we should be thankful that we have as some have never been able to experience something such as this before! . .
Feel free to share your experiences & how it makes you feel that you do have a person such as this as apart of your life.. Or how it makes you feel that you may not have this just yet.
Thank you for sharing with me your feelings & experiences! xx

This group of people would be your family and your "true friends". They are the ones who take you for what and who you are and don't begrudge you anything. To be comfortable with a group of people, you need to show your "true colors" ultimately.
I would suggest you seek out those who are able to appreciate you for what you are. When you find them, don't let them go. :P

I have to say that it's beautiful when you find that person who can accept you for who you are. Me? I'm far from perfect, but not all that bad, but yet to find that one lady to share my life with.
Oh well, don't want to waste my time (or yours) complaining here, so I'll just reiterate the fact, that you've got the ideal life, when you've found a partner who Loves you for who you are.

Yes, I can feel the love from my family and friends. Whenever I am with them I don't feel that I have to pretend, just to please them or just to accept me. I can do whatever I want. Whenever i meet new people, i don't have to fake instead i really show them the real me.. Well, it's up to them if they'll accept me or not. Besides, i guess it's the best way to find a real friend.. you don't have to pretend just to be accepted. Hence, A real friend will accept you for who you are and what you are.

I do have people like this, and am so thankful for them! My sister is just the best...I can go to her with anything even if I cry all night, she'll sit with me, feed me coffee, and try to help me see things that I can't see for myself...she's really great about giving me the other sides, explaining things to me, and helping me. She loves me for who I am, no matter what shape I'm in, or how I look, she knows everything there is to know about me. We are alot alike, but there are some things we differ on..it doesn't matter to either one of us, we know that people are different, but we are best friends. My brother in law is the same way, even if I've done something stupid, he loves and protects me. My sons are wonderful, and we are such good friends, not only family.
I think that's what's important, too, is that even family members really need to be your friends.
I am so very lucky to have all my close friends and family in my life and I hate to think about what shape i would be in without them.

I do since I am always who and what I am. Takes to much energy to deceive and pretend. So I know anyone that is around me and calls me friend does so knowing of me and all about me. Better relationships that way.
Have experienced the doubt some others have had since in their world and perception they thought that I also was more like them. Surprise. lol. Kind of confuses those people.

yes my family and friends and my husband and his family love me for me. i think it was easier cause when me and my husband met we were just frineds as we were both dateing other people at the time so we showed our true colors.

I have girlfriends who are like that. I can be who I am around them and they won't mind since we all grew up together. I may sometime piss them off but after a while it would be as if nothing bad happened. But there is this person I really love and I really want him to see the real me. But he once told me that He always thought that I was strong and deals with people real well. I felt the disappointment in his tone and I was hurt because I thought that since I have been trying to be strong for everyone around me (my family and some of my friends), I can at least be myself and show my weaknesses around him. I mean he isn't directly involved with my problems so I really thought that I can lean on him and just cry my heart out but I was wrong. I think he liked me for being strong and when I get weak around him and show too much emotion he backs out. He is going through a lot in his life right now and their are not really good and I guess he just wants me to be more independent of him because of this.

The current people whom I value right now are my family, my kids, my boyfriend and my really close friends. Yes, I believe they love me for who I really am because I've never pretended to be somebody I'm not around them.
As much as possible I let other people see who and what I really am. Playing a role with other people, whether I'm close to them or not, is not one of my best assets.

There's only one person that I can be myself around. I'm really fortunate for him, because if I couldn't be myself around at least one person, I think I'd explode. In the past I had no trouble at all being who I was around people, but it always ended up with me being hurt. So I kept who I was inside until the right person came along. It seems a little anti-social or whatever, but it was the right thing for me and I'm glad I did.

I feel very grateful that I have people in my life who I think accept me and love me for who I am. My bestfriend is one particular person with whom I feel totally secure. He is always there for me, literally and figuratively. I can say that he is truly one person that I have in my life right now who will never judge me for my shortcomings, who will stay by my side whenever I feel down and will also not hesitate to be frank and honest enough with me if I commit any wrongdoing, because he has done all those things for me already. That is also why he is the first person I share my happy moments with. He knows me perfectly and is sensitive when it comes to the things that matter to me. For all the things that I've been through with him, words are not enough to express my gratitude to him.
