Is it normal to be with someone cause they make you feel this comfortable?

It's probably not the comfortable you think. You probably think comfortable being yourself, and they won't judge you for it. You probably think comfortable that your flaws don't get in the way of them loving you. Well my "comfortable" is a little odd. With my bf right now, one of the things I just hate about being with him is how he makes me feel uncomfortable and awkward when Im just being me. I can't fully be all out there cause hell look at me weird, he'll judge me, he'll make it obvious he doesn't like something I did, etc. But all of that Im used to since a kid. I grew up not being accepted by my older siblings and at school. So I got so used to it that idk how it feels to be accepted. When I do bump into someone who does accept me, which is soooo rare, I feel like its not real and eventually I get awkward and uncomfortable. This is why I somehow feel comfortable with my bf...because he makes me feel my normal by the way he's usually not accepting of me. He reminds me of my siblings, by how hell make fun of me. I feel like I am myself around him since this is the only person I know within me; not being accepted. It's like I hate it but ironically I feel so secure with him because he makes me feel insecure and that who IVe been my whole life. If I were to date someone who is accepting of me and loves me so much, I'll feel like not myself and as if that guy is a stranger. I know this is bad cause why would you wanna be with someone who makes you feel insecure? But in my case, he reminds me of home. He is still with me regardless so he does I guess look through my flaws but sometimes I wish I can get rid of him but I'm so comfortable w him.

      • I would say it is not normal. I couldnt even fully understand it because it doesnt make much sense. It sounds like you find comfort in discomfort? Why would you choose to be with someone who you cannot be yourself around. The whole point of a relationship is to help each other grow. Not to put each other down.

        • Because I have become so accustomed to "not being able to be myself" that when I do find myself in a situation where I can be me, it's weird. So my normal is being insecure and thats how he makes me feel so I feel fine w it. I know it is not okay and I should find someone who does let me be but like I said, I find it weird and awkward when I do. I guess I just have to be strong when I do find someone who does let me be and try to get accustomed to it slowly.

          • Why do so many people feel they need to be with someone at all?
            It sounds like you need to work on yourself before puting yourself in a situation where you feel bad. Most people are better off alone unless they find someone who helps them grow into a stronger person. It baffles my mind why most people are in the situations they are in.

    If you want advice, seek therapy. The thought process you're describing is not healthy, and can lead to depression or helplessness.
    Wanting to be with a guy like that is not healthy, and it can lead to abusive relationships. You don't deserve someone who treats you like your family does.
    You can find a man who is accepting of you and makes you happy because you can be yourself around him. You deserve it. You can do it.

    You're overly accustomed to being the outcast.
