I'm not asking a perverted question so please, no perverted answers.
I'm wondering if you are in love with the person you are, flaws and all. Also, where is the boundary between loving one self and the sin of vanity?
Thanks!

Interesting observation: some people respond with saying "You should or you have to"... they are not directing the question to themselves by said "I do or I don't or I have to or I should" I'll tell you this, those who’s answers are directed to themselves are more sincere answers.

Alhumdulilah, i do!...... since converting to Islam i have grown to be a person that i love very much and have a great deal of confidence in.....
the reason i feel this is okay and that it is not a sin of vanity is b/ i see my flaws and the reason i love myself is that i am ever-progressing.... i love that everyday i attempt to move closer to Allah.... if i was not constantly trying to improve and be a better Muslimah i dont think i could love myself
Allah knows best
Asalamwalaikum
Ramadan Mubarak

Immensly. It took a long time to develop just the right amount of insanity. Not to mention the detail I spent on every facet of my multiple personalities. But they love me too.
Self confidence is always a good thing. I think the boundary blurs when you start to believe in your own hype. Or when you love yourself more than anyone else ever could.

I love the person that God wants me to be, and like the person that I am. Most of all I love others and pray for people all of the time.... don't know if this makes me a "good" Christian but I feel like this is why I am here.

I had started to hate myself feeling that I'm good for nothing and a loser in life. But when i got true friends who encouraged me on every step and made feel like a wonderful person, i started to realise my presence in other ppl's lives and how i can love others by loving myself first.

i love myself? -- well yes and no!!!
yes, because of my good virtues -- i know i am good enough with a clean heart. i cant say i love myself -- that would be a little too arrogant of me.
no, as being a human being -- i err and sometimes the virtues of anger and jelousy does take over me in a fit of a moment. i cant say i hate myself -- neither am i happy about this other side.
well i am in the process of overcoming the side which sometimes makes me look like an idiot -- like the one right now.

Not really. I see the many flaws that I have and am disgusted by them. I try to adjust myself to work around them or to correct them but it is sometimes useless.
I do love life though.

You have to love yourself You are the person who knows "YOU " best.
You are your own best friend or your worst enemy.
What direction your life goes ,all depends on your decisions.
If you like yourself ,others will see your self confidence and like you too.
Who doesn`t have quirks and faults ?

yeah , wish I was a tad healthier but I'm worken on that. I think the border comes in the value you have for others, like is it competetion, are you better, would you be unhappy if someone else was also lovable, or more lovable.

personally no, not really.
loving yourself is not vanity (ahem... trying not to make a joke about this) but if you love yourself above all others that would be the sin of vanity you mentioned

Nope, I don't. I don't exactly hate myself (anymore... I used to), but I hate some aspects of myself enough for it to be a problem. I'm working on it though, life could be so much easier when I could accept myself for what I am...
