They say that to truly love another you must first love yourself. Kinda disheartening for those who hate themselves isn't it.
So who loves themselves?
How do you know that you love yourself?
Did you always love yourself, if not, how did you learn to love yourself?
Any other advice for those who are less than thrilled with their won persona?

Maybe its more a case of accepting who you are and being able to love a person who can also accept you for who you are. None of us are perfect.

Well I would you are who are you and if you don't like yourself, maybe you should be changing who you are to become a better person that you do like.

To be honest, I didn't always like myself but yes now i do and why,

Since being single I have got my real self back, the person I was before i was in the wrong relatioship

and I have raised 2 totally awesome boys

and am happy with what i have achieved in life so far

and done things and taken chances and had guts and determination

and now living in another country where i didnt know alot of people

and I am doing alright

and yes I like who I as I am me with good and bad points

but I am happy with whom I am now

so yes I am going to love again as I am ready for the next step in my life

Just me wine

Yes, accepting who you are. Loving yourself. I think it's the same.
None of us are perfect - true. If you fall in love with someone you love them even with their imperfections. So it goes with out saying that when you love or accept yourself you do so with all imperfections.

Ok, you could be right. Well what is it "to love yourself" then. They all keep raving about it so it must be important. Can you define it Wysterious?

8. Progress to next stage which is loving another person who in turn loves you too.
It is simple!!!
