Don't ever ever change who you are to please someone else.
If the soon to be father in law wants you to change your personality, consider eloping and then moving to another city under a changed name.
People are the whole of their experiences and up bringing not a biproduct of a formulatic book or self help program.
the only people that these things help is the person that put them together.

First sentence is a good point.
As for the rest, that's basically what I was saying. Only that the father is probably just looking for a little reassurance (as fathers of daughters often do). And if it's possible, there may be other ways to give it to him. But wasn't suggesting the OP change himself in anyway.
