Your self-esteem is constantly under pressure that seems to always result in lowering it, rather than giving it the boost it needs in order for you to be emotionally stable and happy. I think that one needs to have good self-esteem and love themsleves before they can really love someone else.
You gotta love you, before you can love with all your heart to someone else. I finally have figured that out...and im happy with me. Self-esteem is a big thing for a lot of ppl...but god made us all different, and thats what makes the world beautiful.
There are people out there that love themselves so much that they cannot get pat themselves enough to really love anyone but themselves. On the other hand, if you are empty and cannot love youself then you will not be accepting to the fact that you are capable of being loved.
I think self-esteem is accepting the good things as well as the bad about one's self.
I think if you like being with yourself and have the ability to enjoy your solitude, then someone else can come as good bonus (or perhaps never at all just because you do not need it) Still, in both cases; the ability to be independent, knowing yourself, accepting yourself and making the effort to improve yourself make your self-esteem grow. It is good to know that some people will like you and some people will abhor you. If your self-esteem happens to grow independently on those facts, then you are free and powerful inside.
