Its the difference between inner-self ,and outer-self.
Having a big head, would be someone who thinks of themselves in reference to how they look on the outside. Being self involved in their outer appearance and selfishness.
Loving yourself, is how you feel about the inside you. Find happiness in the smallest things in life. Loving your life and the things around you.
Loving yourself no matter how you look on the outside and being completly comfortable in your own skin.
Highly recommend" The Art of Happiness"
Great book.

Loving yourself means that you are confident in who you are: your nationality, your background, your beliefs, the way you dress, etc. It also means that you are not comparing yourself to others such as movie stars and/or models.
Loving yourself boosts your self-esteem and it's actually a great feeling. A lot of people who do not love themself, falls greatly into depression, suicide, and even drugs.
Just be who you are and love yourself because everyone is unique in their own ways, but not only that, it is also because your parents brought you into this world to be unique and be loved by others and also be loved by your own self.

Because people who love themselves truly its not about arrougance or superiority if its genuine
Accepting all of yourself and loving yourself only makes room for you to be more accepting of others
Plus, you encourage others just by being yourself
its not about Im so great
its about being real

Everything in the world starts with self. If self is fine everything is fine. So therefore know thyeself and respect and love your self. Its more hard to sit with yourself than sitting with others. Thats why try to win yourself first and the world later....... The world shall be urs

it means that you dont worry about what other people say about you, that you are happy with who you are and have self confidence. doesnt mean having a big head, just means that you are confident that you are who you are and if people cant accept you that way, then they dont need to be on your friends list. if you feel good about yourself then others will see it too.

Dude, the morale here is You need to love yourself DESPITE your flaws.
That breeds humility and modesty in you. It helps give you the self confidence and the empathy for others.

of course we need to love our selves. there is a line though where people get over confident. but it is always good to give yourself a pat on the back or to have pride in joy in what you do and the decisions you make.

To love yourself means to respect and take care of yourself.

You have too love yourself, not be in love with yourself. To appreciate your worth and all you have to offer is one thing, but to worship yourself and your accomplishments is another.
So have confidence in yourself, accept your limitations, and utilize your strengths. If you do that, you will be OK

You have to love yourself. The problems start when you think you're perfect.
