do you love yourself?

Hi Michael. I think self-love can be a healthy thing, and I work on that, but I have to admit, I'm not always very good at it! I do agree with you, though, that if we love ourself better, we can then also love others even more than already! Life is, indeed, a most precious gift. Karen

well i am not proud of that I am quite shy, my head looks like miley cyrus - rounded and that i am not as sportif but dance a lot. I mean life is good for me at the moment but hey, just like they say- no one is perfect and no one here can say that they love themself becasue they really do not.

michael Jesus himself said that you must love yourself so that you know how to love others and take care of yourself so you can care for others. it is not selfish to care for the body that God gave you,it just makes' common sense as it is your temple and a precious gift as you have said. good luck and happy mylotting to you.

Good one michael... probably got some opportunity to boast about myself, huhuh! no i don't boast, well i have always found myself unique, i mean i dunno why but i have always found myself a little different than others, i have this weird tendency of not talking much with people i don't know well and i have heard some rumours like i a mean guy or guy or something, well i am not anything like that, i am just not comfortable around them when i meet them for the first time, i am a little conservative, but once they are acquainted to me i get really friendly, i sometimes care too much for others and have been hurt to know they didn't care that much but well i think i can get a little emotional but yeah i move along, i think i have this wonderful gift of adjusting to situations accordingly, when it comes to commitment i am really serious about, i am one woman guy i guess.. a lot of my friends have complimented that i am a really good listener and honestly i am really glad to know that.. yeah i do love myself and we it feels good, we should all love and care for all our fellow human beings..

Loving yourself is the most important thing you can do, and it is not selfish at all. I believe that you cannot truly love another until you love yourself.

....Hi michael74, Yes I do love myself, and I try the best I can to be my own best friend. I don't love myself in the narcissis' way, or whatever his name was. :o) But in a healthy way, by having self respect and high self esteem. By trying to be as healthy, physically, mentally and emotionally as you can. By being with people who inspire you to be positive and who are not negative thinkers. We wake up with ourselves daily and it is very important that we love ourselves so that we can be of benefit to ourselves in every way as well as to others. Take care, keep on loving yourself.

Hahaha! That makes me remember a time when I was at school. I was only 14 years old. The teacher asked if there was anyone in the classroom who did not love themselves. I used to believe it was selfish to love yourself, you must think of others before yourself. Me and another girl raised our hands proudly. (Cause I believed it was the right answer,hahaha!) The teacher than said what you said: If you don't love yourself you cannot possibly love anyone else. It took me some years to realize what she meant. I was a church goer for many years, and I was taught that thinking of yourself first is selfish. This is the way I used to live. I was nothing, the others were important, not me. Then when I needed help, where did all the people go that I had helped in the past??? Here is where I started to wake up. If you don't look after yourself first , you cannot look after anyone else. If you don't love yourself, why do you expect someone else to love you? I learned the hard way, better late than never.

Loving ourselves is the greatest love of all.It says we should love ourselves first before others.But sometimes when we love someone we forgot ourselves which is not right.Its not selfish to love ourselves.Its just that our life is God given so we must take good care of it. We are just human and when we are in love we are out of control sometimes.But i know in the end we certainly realized that we should think of ourselves first same as loving it above all.

If you do not love yourself you are not a healthy person and can not give love to others. Selfishness has nothing whatsoever to do with love.

I think there's a difference between loving yourself and being selfish. To love yourself is to care for yourself. TO be selfish is to think only of yourself and not of others. I do love myself but I would share my love with others and take into others into consideration, too.

Loving yourself truly means loving your soul. It's less important to take care of your body if you don't care about your soul. Ask yourself are you helpful? trustworthy? honest and loyal? are you doing all your duties properly? Are you a good human being? If your answer is positive then there's no harm loving yourself. But most of us just think about our own benefits. That's not loving 'me'. That is selfishness. Sometimes I love myself and sometime I don't. because at times i do feel i'm not the person that I wanted to be. So it's all about inner beauty.

yes i love myself a lot. thats teh one thing that i cant tell with full confidence . i dont like to be bad dressed . i always look after my hairstyle . even if nobody is loking i try to be smart and look good . i maintain myself .i think if u love urself very much there wont be anything in the world that can leave u lonely . coz then u will have a friend who will always be there with you and that will be u urself.:)

Yes, as everyone says here, we should love ourselves. I believe that loving oneself is different than being selfish. Loving oneself for me is taking good care of my body so that i wont get sick. We should also maintain our self respect and dignity.

loving ourselves is not a bad thing, as long as it doesn't hurt others. in this life, asking the question, "what about me?" matters a lot. Just make sure you're still on the right path because once you lose the real you, it takes a great deal of struggle to get your life back.

I like your piont and your written kind like a poem.We should love ourselves but also love everything around us.The people who care about us.the trees who give us new air the flowers who make us more pretty.Love yourself don't mean you are selfish person.If we treat everyone like a family the world will turn more beautiful.isn't it

My confession: i love myself very much... like love and to be loved..

for me loving itself is not a selfesh way....and yah i do love myself coz if i don't love myself i don't have good life now and i do believe that before loving someone we will start to love ourself first....

certainly,I think everyone should love himself .If he does love himself, Who others he will love?

Yes ,I agree to this point.I think everyone is different from the others .And everyone is the only one.We should take care of ourselves first and then to look after the other.we must love ourselves,don't make myself unhappy.

yes, sure..because finding the right person with whom to share your life is not the first focus of loving. The primary focus is how you live your daily life: it's developing your capacity for loving yourself. so that you may better love those around you. It all centers on you. On a daily basis, increase the love you give to yourself. Be kind and loving to you. Start doing things for you. This is not being selfish: this is an act of self-love. You will be amazed how your new attitude towards giving and receiving love returns to you.
