Loving self and others, and confidense?

Question

You know how people use the tired expression "no one is going to love you unless you learn to love yourself"?

How? That is my question.

People love to use expressions like these. It sounds profound enough to give someone else the impression that they have life experience, but vague enough to not help the person whatsoever.

If you are going to use cryptic phrases when giving advice, then what the hell is the point? No one is going to get it.

It seems there is this terminology out there relating to relationships and love, and it's totally meaningless. People just regurgitate what others have said because it sounds "cool".

I remember asking my mother and older sister what women look for in men, and they said "confidence". It's taken me YEARS to figure out just what the hell they were talking about, and you know what, it can be explained very easily, IN PLAIN ENGLISH. So, the next time someone asks you for life advise, please, don't use some cryptic expression that means nothing.

Answer 1

You learn to love yourself by having self respect. You treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. You don't allow others to mistreat you, to talk down to you, tell you you're not worth anything, etc. If someone is in the habit of jokingly calling you idiot, you tell them you know they may not mean anything by it, but stop, because you're not an idiot and there's not reason to say you are one. You don't appreciate being treated that way. You don't allow them to make a doormat of you because it's easier than speaking up for yourself. You don't have to be pushy, but assertive. You maintain your self respect and others begin to respect you. You show that you care about yourself and others begin to care about you. That's what 'loving' yourself is all about. You stay healthy, eat right, get sleep, exercise enough to stay in reasonably good shape, keep mentally stable, do what it takes to keep yourself a solid, contributing member of society that can take care of yourself and even lend a helping hand to others once in a while. I hope this is specific and actionable to help you.
