Don't Change - It's Easier for Me to Control When You Are the Way You Are

People who love and support you do that because they want you to be happy. The people who have a problem with you standing up for yourself are either dis functional in some way, or toxic. Those people don't necessarily have your best interest in mind. They have their own best interests in mind. There's many levels of control but if they are controlling you in any way, then you changing might take away that control. That would be like someone saying, please, don't change, because it's easier for me to control when you are the way you are. To day, that that is disgusting.
