I have read a book...and it says that.... If the you is someone unworthy, or unloved by you, then giving love becomes impossible..How can we give something we dont have?So before we will love others...we should have love in ourselves...

I think its saying that we are capable of loving only when we love ourselves first because we don't NEED to be with someone, we are with them because we WANT to be. Some people just can't be alone, and its very unhealthy. It's not saying that we should all walk around and become narcissists, but after reading some of the answers they range from narcissistic to insecure. There has to be a healthy balance of loving the person you are and loving another. What the book is telling you is if you don't love yourself, then you will let someone else treat you poorly because you lack the self-respect necessary to have a healthy relationship.

I love myself today. It's an everyday task, the relationship with ourselves is much more hard than the relationship with others because a) we know absolutely EVERYTHING we have done, b) there is no breaking up...
It is a very hard task, and self love should not be confused with having a big ego, they are not the same. I have been through both the ego and the love, and it has taken me years and years to get to this point. But as much attention we put into writting love letters and buying gifts for our significant others, we shouldn't take ourselves for granted. We need pampering as well.

Just like a loved one can fall out of our good graces....we can do that to ourselves as well. What I mean is that I agree with this concept and there was a time when I could proudly and peacefully say that I love myself. But lately with things I'm going thru....it's harder right now. I find it hard to love at all. But hey, life's hard. I'll get over it.

If we don't love ourselves, why should anyone else? I'm a very flawed and imperfect person, but I think I rock and I do love me. Overall I try to be a good person and not harm others...
If a person doesn't like or love themselves, they definitely need to figure out why, and change that. We know ourselves better than anyone else does...so if we don't think we are worthy of loving, that's a pretty big issue!

I love myself enough to know that when my love is being mistreated and taken for granted that I don't need to stick around and tolerate it. I love myself enough to know not to settle. Part of loving yourself is knowing when to walk away from love, and knowing that you can move forward with yourself and by yourself in life. Once you can live life with just yourself and be okay with that then the right love will come along for you.

I have never really liked myself, always self conscious, down on myself, but as I get older, I see how destructive that behaviour is to yourself as well as your loved ones. I am trying to like myself but I don't think I will ever be in love with myself (in a conceited way, that is).

you have to love yourself first and put yourself first in order to take care and love others...'Me" is my number one priority because i have a husband and a son that i love so much and i wanted to give them my all..and if i do not put myself first in front of everyone, then how can i provide them with the love and care they so much needed from me..Prioritize yourself before others

fisrt of all we have to search our true selvesand know our true self after we get to know ourself perfectly we know how to go about handling things from a different aspect then we find ourselves a soulmate so we can share the love and happiness of our true selves. you have to love yourself entirely b4 try loving smone else cuz it will be like spoiling yourself to make smone benefit from yourself so they get the better deal outta you.

Think you don't love yourself, who's the first one you look for in a group picture?
