Screening or withholding thoughts and emotions or avoiding asking for what you want or need, or preventing yourself from doing things that you want to do*, so that you will be loved and accepted is not genuine. It is not reflective of what is inside.
(* obviously assuming that those things are legal and don't really hurt others)
