 You feel a need for acceptance.  You sense it's a key to freedom to be yourself.

Acceptance happens when you know that God loves you as you are and you discover the person he created you to be.  From that base, you can reach out to others and not be overly concerned with their perceived response to you.  It's important to know the real you and live that self in honesty and humility before others, whatever their reaction.

We will never grow in our relationship with God if we don't have the gumption to become singleminded, bent on pleasing God and only God.
Michele Halseide

We [people-pleasers] may even be tempted to fake our spirituality, which impresses everyone but God.
Michele Halseide

Whether we live in the body or move out of it, our goal is to be pleasing to Him.
2 Corinthians 5:9
