love yourself before the other,right?!

I totally agree with you!! It's just like they say on an airplane; "secure your own oxygen mask, in an emergency, before helping someone else with theirs." If you sacrifice yourself and run out of strength, someone who may need help may not get it, and you will be of no use to anyone, including yourself.

I do believe in that. How can you love others if you can't love you own self? I think one of my religious studies class mentioned something like this. For a mature person to experience true loving, he must first love himself. I don't listen much to that class because it is boring. Personally, I think I still agree with you. It is not that we are selfish, it is just that we should love and respect our self before going to a relationship or a commitment. I think if we don't love ourselves first, the relationship may be disastrous. Just an opinion. ",

i believe in this. we have to love ourselves first before anybody can love us. if we hate ourselves and people see it, then there won't be any reason for them to like us. it's just the same us, respect yourself first before anybody can respect you. ^__^

Yes because if you dont know how to love yourself then you cannot proceed to love others. Having a respect to yourself is loving.. anbd respecting others means your loving them back.

Yup.. you must first love yourself before you can love others.. that is life..

I believe it. If you don't love yourself how can you expect others to love you right? It is only God that can love you even when you hate yourself. But for human being rise, no it's best for you to learn to love yourself so that you can accept love from others. God Bless.

i completely agree with you first we have to love ourselves only then we can love others

sometimes loving once self ending up to be so proud.... i respect your opinion hanreq dont get me wrong. but for me loving others is loving yourself. if you will love someone save some for yourself.

I agree with that. So many of us want to get love, but have none for ourselves. How are you going to give something that you just don't have? You have to love who YOU are first, then someone will see that and want to be a part of that as well. that is my belief. Hanreq, you are one positive person. I like that. Have you read Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking?

Absolutely! Loving yourself HONESTLY, not an over-inflated view of yourself, is vital to keeping you healthy, physically and mentally. That way, you will be able to share yourself for a long, loving time. 'I'm as good as I can possibly be'... say it often, and mean it!

you are absolutely right .... we can love others only if we love ourselves.
