While trying to present a nice “face” to ourselves and our partners, we repress and deny other traits of us, which we think carry “negative” connotations; which are not “socially accepted”; which might bring us shame, contempt, and rejection; which might make it difficult for us to find a partner and develop an intimate relationship.
