What does it mean to love yourself?

To pretend that we aren't perpetually dissatisfied with our body, partner, family, personality, life, job etc.
It's just something we say to try and make ourselves believe that we are happy when we aren't because, as humans, we are unable to ever be truly happy.

Accepting yourself with love the way you are right now, this minute. Now if i lost a few pounds i would feel better, have a better job, a new boyfriend, looked prettier, and such, it means seeing yourself exactly the way you are right this moment scars, flaws and all and loving everybit of it and not waiting for someone else to giv eyou that love, acceptance or forgiveness.

It means that you see how valuable you are. You see that you are worth the best the world can give you. You accept yourself flaws and all. You take care of yourself. You don't let yourself be belittled or abused by someone else.

Taking care of your health and not indulging in bad habits.
Being happy and satisfied with the man in the mirror.
Knowing that in the end, it's only your opinion that counts.
Not allowing others to influence you in unhealthy ways.
Waking in the morning and looking forward to another wonderful day with you.

No matter what the odds are, no matter what people throw at you, no matter what they do to you; the key ingredient is not to give up on yourself, to never stop belieiving in yourself; believing in yourself leads to loving yourself.

To have a good sense of how vakuable you are to you
To care about your physical mental and emotional being
To have good self esteem and be confident
To feel like you are worthy to do anything and be anyone you want to be

in my opinion "loving yourself" means that you accept yourself despite your shortcomings and are satisfied with what you are...you accept yourself with your follies and your past ....very few ppl tend to love themselves...those who do they have tremendous self-confidence and will.

Everyone loves themselfs, I think it's instinctive..... Maybe, only metal people don't love themselfs, becuase of chemical imbalences in thier bodies.
