Anwar White on what makes relationships work: a partner who loves the parts of you that you hate. He rejects the performance most people do to be liked, especially women, and says being gay taught him early to stop caring what others think.
The gag is. And this is what I want. I want you all to know.
I don't care if you.
I don't care if you have an attitude. I don't care if you're sometimes moody. I don't care if sometimes you're a bitch.
Be that. Your person is going to love all of that and more. What I love about healthy relationships is that your person is going to love the things that you might not like about yourself. That is the sign that, oh, this person's in it to win it.
Yeah.
Some of you all. And this is no shade. This is no judgment. Y' all are trying to be someone that you're not.
To try to be liked more.
One of the beautiful things that. One of the biggest blessings that I've had in my life is.
Being born gay. Some people say I'm not that, but I've had to. I had to learn very early that I. I couldn't care about what other people thought of me. And it's been a true blessing because then I could live my life authentically. And unfortunately for many women out there, they are conditioned and socialized to perform for men. And what I'm letting you know is the performance is done. No more performance if you're not cute and mute. Don't be cute and mute.
