"I’m me is a good thing… but saying you won’t change for anyone isn’t. I’ve missed being the old me, the one that always helps others and always wants to make people happy, safe and protected. But also the old me never stopped and dealt with my own trauma. It caught up with me recently. 27 years of trauma of losing loved ones, death of friends on military ops. And to many suicides of close friends. So the me I am now is learning to deal with talking to others and not being scared to open up to strangers. I’ve never been a bad person but I’ve been treated as one many times in my military and Private military career always from people who don’t know me. But it doesn’t mean I haven’t hurt people I should have been trying to make happy. So because if that I do want to change for the better.but I will be me again. Just a better one that knows my limits on Be proud of who you are now PP, accept your faults and learn from them. " | |||

"I am me, I would never change myself to fit in with another persons ideals or requirements I have the maturity to recognise faults within myself and strive to improve them but I’m never going to do that for the benefit of someone else. I’m either accepted as I am, warts and all or not all, I wasn’t made to fit in someone else’s box x" Exactly and you’re an amazing person…  | |||

"I think there's a big difference between making changes in your life because you want to, or changing to fit in with others/what you think others want. It's rarely black and white. I also think self-acceptance, knowing your strengths and weaknesses, is very empowering and I can see that expressed as "I am me". That doesn't make me a good person or a shitty person, because none of us is as straightforward as that. It makes me human. Mrs TMN x" Exactly this :l | |||

I guess it's the difference between saying "I know I make mistakes and try to be better but this is who I am' and 'I don't care how my behavoir affects others, if they don't like it, tough' I don't agree with not changing to suit others. If her ladyship told me that there was something I did that upset or hurt her, perhaps made her feel insecure I would absolutely consider changing. It may be a part of me I was unwilling to change and we would need to talk but the option of change would always be there on the table. Mr. | |||

"An honest and open post PP.... well done for having the chutzpah to rock it. For me, I'm just me. I have changed to suit others all my life and it's done nothing but cause me pain, mentally and physically. So these days I don't. I'll be open and honest and speak my mind, and it breaks my heart if that does hurt someone I care for. But for my own sanity I can't be anything but honest with myself and others now. 15 years ago I married a man I didn't love because I didn't have the balls to be honest. I was stuck in that misery for 5 years. And I spent almost 7 of the years since then in an abusive relationship because I didn't have the balls to be honest and ask for support from a friend. So now, this is me. I'm fiercely loyal to those I love but I'll never not speak my mind again. I can and will change if my behaviour is hurtful, and I'm always open to having a discussion about my behaviour, as without that we cannot always see where we have gone wrong and grow from it. But I won't cower away from my own feelings any more. Like me or leave me, that's your choice." Good post. I guess there is a fine line between being true to yourself and your values on the one hand and not caring how you affect those around you on the other. Sometimes these ideas can clash too. I walked away from my marriage because she refused to consider change in fact genuinely believed she wasn't able to - an idea I disagreed with as I didn't think our problems were caused by what she thought. In that situation I had spent years trying to accept the status quo for the sake of love and it completely broke us both in the end. Like you, I have learned that I need to be more open and honest about who I am and what I need but I still would only ever say take me or leave me as a very last resort, not an opening statement.

Absolutely agree communication is key - real communication that involves listening to each other, not just hearing what we think the other is saying. Mr | |||

"I've screwed up as a Man, as a Father, as a Boyfriend, as a Son, as a Friend, as a lover, simply because... I don't always do or say the "right things". I have a smart mouth, I have secrets, I have scars , because I have a history and I have lived an amazing , varied, exciting, scary and full life. Some people love me, some people like me, some people might hate me, or not want me around. I have done good in my life. I have done bad in my life. I may even be crazy, random and silly. I may be scared, hurt and messed up , I will not pretend to be someone I am not. I am who I am. You can love me or you can hate me. That's your choice and only yours. But if I love you, I do it with my whole heart, and I will make no apologies for the way I am. If I do not like you, I promise that you will know that too. I AM ME... And I will not change it for the world. " You’re a good man pp x

"I saw it more as a kind of poem, stating that the person had reached a point in their life when they could see the mistakes they had made but also they know that they are not all bad. I think they are saying they won't apologise for the whole person that they are but they have recognised where they went wrong. They are asking to be accepted as a human being with all their faults. I do not necessarily see that as a shitty person, I am sure there are other people with similar narratives who would not have the balls to acknowledge their faults? " I agree, accept I saw it as accepting themselves | |||
