A relationship that requires you to shrink yourself to fit inside it is the same relationship that will suffocate you if you stay in it too long. - Mark Manson

Instead of thinking, “I wonder if she’ll like me,” think, “I wonder what she’s like?

"In this way, "knowing yourself" or "finding yourself" can be dangerous. It can cement you into a strict role and saddle you with unnecessary expectations. It can close you off to inner potential and outer opportunities.
I say don't find yourself. I say never know who you are. Because that's what keeps you striving and discovering. And it forces you to remain humble in your judgments and accepting of the differences in others."

We’ve all wished at times that we couldn’t feel emotion, because our emotions often drive us to do stupid shit we later regret.
