Maintaining individuality in relationships

[eLdavis]

Relationship is often about two different people with different backgrounds, mental state, reasoning and understanding come together. In relationships, people often think they have to forgo who they are, their belief and everything that made them unique just to fit in. While relationships often come with some changes and even compromises, maintaining your individuality helps protect your mental state. Be yourself and keep staying unique.

The thing is that many people always tend to not be sincere about their true personalities at the talking stage of the relationship. That's where it would look like you hood-winked someone into a relationship and expect the person to suddenly evolve. And it becomes toxic suddenly. When personalities don't match, there should not be a relationship at all. I know that some compromises are necessary here and there but you can't expect an adult to just overhaul themselves because they are in a relationship with you.
