Is it better to be hated for who you are, or loved for what you're not?

As I have never experience either, I do not know.

I've experienced both. Ignore your conscience, and the loved one is fine!

I'd rather be who I am and be hated for it
than change who I am to be loved.

I agree. Too many people are willing to change their principles for other people.
It should be stopped.

Unless your principles
are changing your principles

But then you wouldn't be changing your principles.

What if you're a fucking annoying selfish arsehole?
If a respected friend or partner pointed this out to you, are you saying that you are happy to continue being a fucking selfish annoying arsehole to the detriment of those around you because heh that's who you are?

This is a good point
we all modify our behaviour around others no matter how much we think we're just being ourselves

You do make a valid point.
Revised statement: I think that as long as your views don't harm anyone, whether intentionally or through ignorance, then you shouldn't change them.
