Yes it is true.
In practical life, if you want a person to love you, the first thing you should do is to show your love and affection on others. When you start mingling with others, you got a chance to share your good things and ideas, which becomes a stepping-stone for others to show their love towards you. You need to express yourself to make others understand what you say because no one can read your mind. So keep in mind that you have to show your good qualities and good natures to the people around you. It is not necessary to act. I hope you will understand that only by means of showing your good natures, people will start loving you.

It depends on the way you see it. However, not loving yourself could mean several different things: either you have low self-esteem or you are not confidnet about yourself. It could also mean keeping yourself isolated from everyone else as well as being unwilling to express your thoughts and feelings towards other individuals. In this case, if you really want people to like you for who you are, you have got to take pride in yourself. You also have got to motivate yourself to keep your head high and do not lay low for anybody. Lastly, do good deeds unto others, because in order to make friends, you must be one. That way, you can feel better about yourself. It is that simple.

No.
Others can always love you no matter how you feel about yourself...
But unfortunately, you will not be able to fully love someone until you find out how to love yourself first.

no one will ever love you as much as you love yourself. So if you don't love yourself then no one else will. Think of yourself as a club, if you don't wanna join, why should others?

learning to love yourself for all your shortcomings and limitations is very important before other people can really love you and for you to truly love other people. it's like knowing yourself for you what you are and accepting your flaws and knowing your limitations or capabilities. good luck!

It's more that it's hard for you to allow others to love you if you don't love yourself...

um no that isn't true,,, of course others can love you...
but it is more difficult to love/care about others if you don't love/care about yourself....
"Love your neighbor as yourself" ......would mean we need to love ourselves in order to love others in a healthy way.

I think love yourself means respect. If you don't have respect for yourself, you can't respect others. Loving yourself means to be conceited in my understanding.
