I think a HUGE misconception is that changing yourself is bad, period. But change is good! If you go through your entire life with the same mentality, you have not grown. I'm not saying that change can't be bad, but if you're only interested in making yourself, your life and the people in your life lives better, you will change.
When you have close relationships with people, how you act affects them. If it's not good, then you must change yourself, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's mature and smart of you to realize that there is a change needed. Changing yourself to better fit someone else life is not bad if that change will ultimately help your life. Changing to specifically fit someone's life because that's only what they need is when change can be bad. Relationships with others that you care about is all the more reason for change. They help you learn where you lack and in what areas change is needed. Don't deny yourself these opportunities. Anyone new in your life is a chance to help yourself grow. All change really is is learning from others. If you aren't afraid to improve yourself, then change won't scare you. But being unwilling to change is simply prideful. Open yourself to change and you will find that it is much easier than you think. Opening your mind to receiving something new will set change in motion, all on it's own. When you aren't so pressed about living your way and only your way, you will realize that there are areas that you can improve in and will learn that allowing yourself to be willing to make these improvements is already half the work.
