do you love yourself???

10! Who else will, by loving myself fully I will receive love back fully. Love always begets love. If it is by loving myself that I can truly love others. If I doubt my love for myself that means I will also doubt others love for me. Loving really begins with the self.

I would rate myself to 9. I am not perfect as anybody but I love myself more than others. If not, how will you know to love them right? Well I'm trying to learn and struggling for daily experiences it would make me a better person someday.

I guess this all depends on perspective and one's own personal standards as to how the see themselves. It's interesting how two people can have the same feelings as to who they are and where they want to be and we still see two different numerical ratings. I suppose factors such as age, ambitions, achievements, and fears also play a role. I would rate myself somewhere in between, maybe around 5 or 6. This is because, being of the younger generation, I don't believe I have lived anywhere near long enough to be where I want to be or even feel like I am anywhere near that place of peace just yet. Like all humans, I have many faults, flaws, and intrusive thoughts that haunt me and at times test my attitude towards life a great deal. Probably the biggest thing I would change is the way I come across socially - and when I say this, I mean face to face (if I don't seem to have a problem when you read my posts, it is because I write a heck of a lot better than I speak). Face to face in social settings, I am PAINFULLY shy and have trouble speaking my mind because I am too afraid of how others will react if they think differently than I do. There are also certain circumstances I cannot function properly under, such as thunderstorms, extreme temperatures (hot or cold), and any circumstances in which there lies a possibility of being a lot of surprises. When I was little, I did not even know how to properly react to good surprises, and now I feel bad about that. If I was that bad in the face of a good surprise, you don't even want to know what I was like when a bad surprise descended upon me! I am still the same old curmudgeon when I get a bad surprise. In a way I don't want to change because I don't want to become so passive that I don't care what's happening to me, but at the same time, I would like to learn how to function confidently when faced with uncomfortable situations. I am a bit of a control freak. I don't try to control other people so much (at least not since I was a small child - something else I feel badly about), but I must have EVERYTHING in my life just like I want it and feel like I am in control in order to feel a decent amount of contentment and happiness. If I react wrongly to somebody or somebody else treats me wrongly, I always remember it... almost as if my brain has a built-in sound/video recorder that plays back randomly whenever it wants with absolutely no warning. It drags me down a lot. Because of the aforementioned social problems, the only close friends I have ever made have been over the internet. I have never had a close friend in real life. The only kinds of friends I have ever had in real life have been just people I can hang out with and have fun with but I never seem to open up about my deep or personal thoughts as I don't think that they'd understand. On the flip side of all this, I consider myself a determined person. I feel like I know exactly what I want out of life, and I will never stop working towards it until I have it. And even after I have it, I am still out for new goals to meet. I love to work and be busy. I love the feeling of accomplishment that comes with working hard for something, and so as a result, I don't have a very high dependency on other people to do things for me. I set very high (sometimes too) standards and am always trying to expand my skill and knowledge in anything that takes my interest. I am very big on living my life according to my own standards, and therefore have never been easily led by anyone else. While I may get discouraged by what other people think and it may effect my self-esteem, it does not by any means have any bearing on my approach to life. So I think I have a very well-defined sense of self, and that I am right on track to ultimately end up where I want to end up. I care a lot about the people in my life, and love making other people happy and love making them feel good about themselves. I enjoy encouraging and inspiring people and helping others realize their potential. I would never tell someone who seemed to have the odds stacked against them that they couldn't do something. Instead, I would take a more positive approach in helping them realize what they can do rather than what they can't do because I want people to feel like they are someone important no matter where they end up in life. I try not to ever impose double standards on any individual or group - especially those I care about - and would never compare one person's importance to another's. I don't like to count people out or give up on them. It is always very painful to see someone else hurting in some way. I guess, that would be - in a nutshell - why I would rate myself somewhere in between. I feel like there is always room for improvement and that there is still a lot more experience to gain at my young age, and lots of personal and professional challenges to overcome. However, I do believe I have a work ethic and morals which are valuable, so I do like that part of myself. I think if you ask anyone what they like and don't like about themselves their list of dislikes will outweigh their list of likes because it is always easier to be critical and non-objective when rating yourself for some reason...

yes I do love myself and rate myself also around 7 as there are still some improvements I need to make for myself. we should all love ourselves so that we know how to love the most important people in our lives, our families and friends.

I'm going to try and rate myself in a serious manner. I would honestly give myself a 5. Why? Because I'm think that I'm on the fence about myself. Most of that is due to my personality, which I'm glad that I own. I'm one of the most open minded people I've ever met. And I don't put others down or name call.

I give me a 9.5 And it is simply because I know who I am and what I will put up with and what I won't put up with. I am a decent, hardworking, I hate the word open-minded, but I am realistically minded (and if that is not a word I have an English BA so I can make those words up.) When I gossip I have rules, meaning nothing horribly mean, nothing about people who are disabled or special in anyway....basically I only gossip if it is made a public discussion at work...I mean you put it on the table people. I pray for animals I see on the side of the road...even the possums which are nasty ugly cretures but life just the same. I always hold onto hope...and give people the benefit of the doubt until they show their true colors. and I have been told on numerous occassions by several different sources that I have a "hell of a personality!!" But really, I am not this egotistical. I just believe in myself. Good topic

i rate myself 6, i have to work hard to improve myself, such as english, trade and many many other things

I love myself and will rate 10 for my love to it and 5 for improvement that i still need. I am just half way of my life and I do need to learn more. God bless us

i rate myself 6.. becoz im still not perfect enough and need improvement a lot.. =

Most of the time 8 or so for me, today it has slipped down to about 6 as I'm hungover and grumpy therefore less loveable!
