Do you love yourself?

Yes I do. I love myself very much. I earnestly believe that unless and until someone loves oneself he/ she cannot love others. We love our families, we love our friends and so on but have you wondered our families are important because they are our families. My family is my priority, it’s my love, it’s my love for my family. This sense of belonging, this sense on integrity would not have been there if we hadn’t loved ourselves. We all love ourselves. It’s very intrinsic and ppl who deny are denying his existence. Loving myself makes me very strong and beautiful. It gives me a feeling of being loved and belonged. I have always loved myself but there had been a time when I thought we need not think like that, I was being selfish to love myself. But I was wrong. Loving oneself doesn’t make one selfish, it makes others realise the value of loving others.

A sort of yes a and a sort of no. I am not able to get a fix on this one, but there is some thing me that tells me that I am best as I am and there is something in me that wants a total turnover of my personality. But to say, I would rather go with "I don't love myself".

Interesting question and I'm glad you bought it up. Just yesterday, I was talking to my husband's friend and he asked me the same question. I said 'Yes, I do'....then he said...'If you love yourself, you will never let anyone undermine your worth...whoever the person is'. And then I got thinking. Because some people (people who mean a lot to me) do affect the love I have for myself. Atleast the few moments after I hear a negative comment, I stop loving myself if it's an important person in my life (parents, sibling, husband). What the friend was trying to say is that I shouldn't do that and I think he's right. It will take me a while to get there...but I know I will. I just hadn't thought of it the way he looked at it. Now, as to the why I love myself....I have the qualities that I consider good in other people and when I don't I cultivate it. I like that quality of mine and I love the fact that I am setting a good example to my kids (I practice what I preach). Even when I think of a negative quality in another person, I first look inside myself to judge if I have the quality myself...and then change it if I do. I do not think it's fair to point a finger at another person when you are doing the same thing yourself.

Unless we love ourselves,I feel, we cannot cultivate a positive attitude to anything in life.We need that sort of pep to help us carry on with our duties in life.I also feel that if there is no element this love, it will have an adverse effect on our self confidence and this will once again affect our performance. I certainly love myself and am grateful to God for the countless blessings I enjoy in this life.

No I don't love myself much. I find myself unlucky in many ways. I am thankful to God for what I am today or else it could be even worse than this. So I am just fine with myself, but answer to your question is that though I don't hate myself, I don't even love myself........Have a nice day.

Hello deepak! I do love myself. I don't know any person who doesn't love theirselves. There is a saying that, you can't love someone if you don't love yourself, or before loving someone, you should love yourself first. I guess one of the reason why I know I love myself because I want to become successful in everything I do and I would try my best to achieve it. Which in God's grace I already achieved what I want. One thing I am praying for now is to be with my husband and to help my family.

You have to love yourself before anyone can love you. With that said, yes, I do love myself. I love my personality, my big heart, and pretty much everything else about me. I always try to treat everyone as I would want to be treated and try to be as kind as I can to everyone.

I love myself because I am special to God's plan in this world. I like myself, because I am becoming a woman that I can be proud of. I was not always proud of who I was. Things are getting better for me.

I do love myself. It's an important thing to do. It is a basic need of a person to further share love to others in the long run. It is something that will uplift the self-worth of the person; thus increasing his confidence and self-esteem.

Hi deepak! Yes, I do love myself. I love so generously and forgive easily that is why I can love myself with all the imperfections I have and could forgive myself easily for the faults I have made. I love myself but I know in loving myself I can give love more to my fellowmen. Take Care and Keep Smiling! Happy Mylotting!

Deepak, I suppose we have to love ourselves, take care of of ourselves for even though everyone i present it's always better to look after ourselves. It's my life and I know better and I do all things that makes me healthy and happy. Yes, I do ove myself and my loved ones. How are you?

Yes, I do. But there are times when I don't. When I get this strange feeling, I will shake it off. Once when I was about 6 or 7 years old, I wrote on a picture that I loved myself. I thought this to be very special. That sad thing is, I have lost the picture....

Hi my dear friend! Now im here... Ofcourse i do love myself! i love myself coz im pretty no matter what they say and i am strong enough to fight for my life. Even sometimes i feel hopeless but then im still standing and moving for a better life.

I dont love myself very much, but i am learning how to love my self by accepting my imperfection. no body is perfect so i guess i should accept that fact. I was so focus on myself that i feel i am lonely and sad at the same time but when i become a member of singles for christ, everything is change, my outlook in life and my perception becomes positive and i rely more on God than myself.

I feel I hate myself, actually everyone loves himself or herself most and that is where allthe problems arise. If you love yourself then comes ego, someone if does something against you then you hate that person. I feel we hate others because we love ourselves too much.

Hi deepak sure i love my self as i keep my self clean and tidy and when ever i think , its start from ME rather than others so what else i can say Take care

Absolutely 100% love myself but I couldn't have answered that a few years ago. It took a lot of years for me to totally accept me for me and love that person. I now look in the mirror and see God's created beauty but I also see a beautiful human being with a lovely caring nature who is a loyal and trusted friend, who has also been blessed with loyal and trusted friends herself. I have my health also. I'm always here for me now, not in a selfish way but I used to run around like a headless chicken trying to please others whilst not pleasing myself. Ellie :D

AT this time in my life my self esteem is a bit lower then I like. But I do know that I am a good person. My positive traits, hmmmmmm, well I think the biggest thing is that I see myself as pretty caring person who has a passion for nurturing kids and giving them the best in life. Another trait that I like about myself is that I am a fighter, I will never give up in something I believe in. My friends would see me as very loyal, funny and caring too. Now I feel like i have tickets on myself, lol. So tell me about your positive qualities my friend.

In my eyes everyone should love him/herself at least a little. Because everyone has something special and everyone is individual. So I'd say I'm quite satisfied with myself as well. I like my looks and my behaviour to people, I'm helpful and social. Of course there are still things that I don't like.

hello dpk262006, im asking myself now if she knows i love her LOL YES i do love myself, i always believe that there is no one who will love me till i learn how to love myself self. it works and i am really happy knowing that i grew up knowing that i can always count on myself before i can count on others. it gives me so much pride and self confidence knowing that no matter what happen i will not gonna judge myself and blame myself for something bad/wrong along the way. i feel if we know how to love ourself first then everything will just follow. if others cant accept you for who you are at least you have yourself and the fact that you love yourself will make all the difference in the world. that's how i feel about myself and i sure love myself with a question and or doubt. takecare!
