英文小作文：

When we are in a relationship, we often try to please our partners to gain their approval or attention. However, this kind of behavior can be unhealthy and even lead to resentment and dissatisfaction. Instead, we should be true to ourselves and focus on our own growth and happiness. We should not be afraid to speak our minds and express our opinions, because we are all unique individuals with our own strengths and flaws. We should not be constantly seeking approval or attention from others, but rather, we should be confident in ourselves and our own abilities to make our own way in this world. In the end, true happiness comes from within ourselves and not from the approval or attention of others.
