Do you think its ok to do this? Keeping your individuality is important after all? And perhaps that is more important than anyone else and how they feel.

Personally, I don't mind giving up any part of myself including things that I enjoy for people that I truly care about. I do not mind being put out of my element or in a strange situation if that means that they will be happy and feel fulfilled and satisfied with me.

Also I think that, although keeping your individuality is important that it is not the only thing of paramount importance. If you have all this self worth but you are not happy then its useless. Its like if you are starving and you have a painting in front of you. You don't care how beautiful it is as long as you are hungry. That love and acceptance by that person you love is like the food to me and the painting is your self worth. One is worthless without the other there first.

I know how you feel, for I to am like that. I will give up anything to make anyone happy.
too bad it always has to be like that, sometimes I feel like a doormat that has been used and thrown away.

This is very hard for me to answer. I mean I can't do it for anyone I so claimto "Love" only if it was "The One". That person you can share life with, I would openly do it for that person. But since I'll never find that person I really don't have to worry now, do I?

But to me individuality is all I basically have, to me it is VERY important. But if it was for that person, I guess I could agree with giving up some of it. But as again won't happen.

Its sad that people get used because they are willing to do things for the people around them. But keep your chin up, you're doing the right thing (at least I hope so).

so do I. so do I. but I do try and keep my head held high.
hey bad karma can kiss my a**, at least I know I am doing it to prove I am a good human being.

I would be willing to make sacrifices for my soul mate. But it has to be a two way street. I would expect a sacrifice from her once in a while.

Sacrifices are needed if you want a relationship to be strong or... to make your loved one happy or for better future...

Personally.. i would do all i can and i will do the sacrifice thats needed...for the loved one.. i'd change my lifestyle and many more just for the person i love.. ^^

But it has to be a two way street

well that is essential for both to be happy... and i know she will do the same for me ^^

We have to be careful that sacrifices to both ways in a relationship. Just recently, one of my coworkers had her boyfriend dump her for no reason, other than he just wanted to be single. She tried to make things work no matter what, but nothing worked. (at one time they got together real good).
But the effort was wasted because he just didn't care. It's good to give of ones self, but also to make sure that what one is doing doesn't fall on deaf ears. Is the response equal in measure for the effort you put out? Say you fly in from another state to see your special someone. What do they do? Cancel all plans to only be with you, or "fit you in" on their time because they want to keep those bowling plans with their friends?
Special effort can be a beautiful thing and definitely binds a relationship together. Without that sacrifice, the relationship won't be as good as it could be.
