Fear of losing oneself in a relationship

Many people have a fear of being changed or losing their sense of self in a relationship. They may have experienced a past relationship where they felt like they had to compromise their true selves to please their partner. This fear stems from the belief that they may be judged or not accepted for their true idiosyncrasies and unique qualities. It's important to understand that allowing oneself to change and evolve in a relationship is natural and can be a positive growth experience. However, the fear lies in losing one's own authenticity and feeling like they cannot trust themselves if they were to develop feelings for someone.
