Hold out and wait for a partner who will accept you for who YOU are. You are worth it. Never sell yourself short, otherwise they just end up trying to change you and once they do that, the relationship is doomed anyway. Be Choosey. Its OK to be who YOU are in this world.

I've made this mistake over and over again, settling, I mean....it never, ever worked plus, with my MI, it just in turn made ME worse and taking things out on ,myself and self-punishing. Its just not a good mix all I ever wanted was to be loved for who I am. I never found it. I always had to change this or that or be bashed over the head with pressure to do or perform things that was against my beliefs. The lack of respect for basic things spun me out of control, because I believed something was fundamentally wrong with me for even having the beliefs I had. I always thought I just wasn't good enough. Ever.
