Although it’s totally normal to keep your guard up around new people especially if you are just coming out of a not-so-great relationship. Here are tips to help you be yourself in a new relationship.
1. Be Open With What You Like
You have to be honest about what you like, want and need. Pretence will only create problems for you in the future so try as much as you can to express your mind about your preferences.
Don’t prove your love by putting yourself in a situation you aren’t okay with. Remember that no one is perfect so there’s no point hiding or feeling ashamed of your weirdness and don’t exaggerate.
2. Learn How To Say No
Your happiness should be your priority, so learn to say NO and mean it. Don’t say YES out of fear of disappointing your partner or because it feels like your opinion doesn’t matter. Setting boundaries will help you understand your new partner better, know their needs and respond to them.
3. Be Independent
Don’t rely on your partner for everything rather make yourself a self-sufficient person. To prevent yourself from depending on your partner always make sure you don’t get too comfy with him doing everything for you. Remember to be yourself and make your own decisions.
4. Let Go Of Your Insecurities

Not letting go of your insecurities will only make the relationship petty and it will definitely affect how you act. No matter what sort of relationship that you are in, don’t totally lose yourself in love.
5. Respect Yourself
While you are enjoying the new relationship, remember to respect yourself. Know when you are giving too much, don’t be afraid to make mistakes, accept what you can’t give and do. If you think you are been violated or that your partner is being disrespectful already, don’t allow him to treat you that way. fight back and sometimes keep your cool and respect yourself.
While enjoying the new relationship remember to be strong, emotionally strong, happy and empowered.
