You Can Try New Things Without Compromising Your Core Self
People who were raised in authoritarian homes often feel compelled to assert their individuality across multiple domains: hobbies, preferred music/TV/movies, food, what they like in bed or in the romantic sphere, and anything else. They fear that if they try new things at others' behest, this means they aren't being true to themselves. But, this closemindedness stops them from being loving partners, parents, and even friends. How can you balance your own preferences with the idea of flexibility and growth?
