"Acceptance. We want someone to look at us, and really see usâ€”our physical flaws, our personality quirks, our insecurities. And we want them to be okay with every square inch of who we are. Weâ€™re always afraid we might be too needy or too much work. We put all these limitations on ourselves and our relationships because weâ€™re afraid that weâ€™re not really loved. That weâ€™re not really accepted. We hide little pieces of ourselves because we think that might be the one thing that finally drives away the person whoâ€™s supposed to love us."
