People just want to be happy, and do wherever they're moral compas force them to do. No one want to know anything about us, they want to know that they are better, richer, smarter... they have no interes in us, just in their feelings.

I'm pretty much down for anything as long as you're not a Trump supporter, I have some values.

I have so many, so I try harder to accept them in others. Nobody is without imperfections. A few of mine: I am not a great driver and my parking is realllllly bad. Parallel park? NO. Also I’m stubborn. Picky with food. I procrastinate. And I hold grudges.
But, I am truthful, loving, loyal, have few true dealbreakers, and I’m an excellent cook.

Amazingly, I say these things early but folks are still shocked when they show up at some point.

So true, and agree with bobwjr, it weeds out the assholes.

Weeds out the Assholes

Good. Then you don't have to deal with them

Find someone who sees your imperfections this way

“A happy union is not one of perfect partners but the triumph of love over imperfections.” - Unknown

“I believe that the measure of my soul is my capacity to love imperfect people.” ― Joseph Grenny

If that were true, no one would ever be in a relationship...heaven knows I have tons of irritating flaws, habits, ideas, etc....I don't consider them "imperfections" but all of those things that make me who I am...that includes everything from things I can't control, like surgery scars, little boobs, no eyelashes, etc. to being a neat freak, talking too loud, being nosey etc. that I choose to ignore...tough shit...it is me...

I am sorry that you have encountered people who expect "perfection"...there is no such thing...just the fact that they expect it is imperfect in them, not you...

That is unfortunate. It should be loving each other’s imperfections that draws people together.
