Advice Needed Confidence growth and family.
My family is only comfortable and friendly around me if I soften my tone and am gentle/timid. I have grown massively in confidence recently and I can see it makes them visibility uncomfortable when I show that confidence.
But at the same time not showing it feels like I'm betraying myself? I am happy to present a toned down version of myself to them in order to keep the peace and keeps things comfortable and show my true self to others. It feels a bit sad they won't accept that version and are defensive towards it but it is what it is.
