loving and respecting yourself is about putting your interests and yourself first and foremost. that's not to say you should only care about yourself and ignore everyone else around you; but when you learn to say no when pressured into doing things you don't want to do or are uncomfortable in doing, you are simply stating that you won't allow people to take advantage of you and telling you how to live your life. therefore by loving, and have self-respect for yourself, in addition to having the confidence in being able to look after and take care of yourself would you then be able to offer the same kind of love to others and earn self-respect from others.
one can learn to love and respect their own self by being proud of who they are and being their own person by living up to their own standards and trying not to be something they're not, whilst refraining themselves from being arrogant and conceited to other people. particuarly their peers.

Caring about you. Not letting others be in charge of how you feel and think. Knowing that you are a good person. Not looking to others for love and acceptance, instead, find that from within. Have faith that there is something in you that is unique to others. Know that you have a purpose in life greater than what we may be able to see today.

I love myself because I am a child of God and I know God does not make mistakes. I also respect myself because in order for me to hold others to a standard and boundary that I will not allow them to cross, I have to know and live them and respect myself for the things I do to honor God.
Also, if you dont love and respect yourself, who else will?

Feel OK with yourself. Don't care what people say / Just follow your own way (Enigma-Return to innocence).

Well, don't let people talk down to you. Express your feelings, and just love... Yourself, others, and all that is. :)
