Why should we love ourselves if we do not think there are other people who love us? If not there are other people who love us, why we should love ourselves?

We're the same, once I also never felt such loneliness, when we begin to ask, who we really are, why we are born, what do we live, etc.. But if you ask, why we must love ourselves, the answer is because there was no one else in this world who can be trusted, there would not always keep our faith, so that could be trusted only ourselves. Even parents who gave birth to us, but not those who created us.

If you do not love yourself, how others will love you .. None of the people who do not want to be loved other people, all would want to feel loved and cared bsa .. How do you say if not there are people who love you .. Try to accept yourself with what is, every human being there is a shortage and excess .. Try it you browse what is inside you, what I had inside myself who you like .. you could probably eventually you will love your own self and with so people will judge you and try to love you what it is.

Hi,only we love ourselves, can we get others' love. Love ourselves firstly means love our own body, it is especially important for females. I have seen and heard lots of females who lose themselves when they fall in love. They sacrifice everything for men, but what they get? some girls don't cherish their first time and their bodies, easily live together with a man. They don't love themselves, then they lose others' love. Love ourselves also means cherish our life, no matter how hard the life is. Don't do silly things, it is not responsible to hurt your own body, it is also a big hurt to your family members. Do remember, you not only live for yourself, but also for your beloved ones.

By loving yourself, you have to learn to love others, and give other people a chance to love you. It is true that no one can judge yourself, unless people learn to identify himself, according to you does not make sense but for many people it makes sense, Because like the quote above, and when we love ourselves, when we can love others, Actually you can love yourself, by making the past as lessons learned, and experience life, because life is for the present and the future not the past.

We should learn to love ourselves in order to be appreciated and respected by other people. We can't give love back, if we don't know how to love ourselves.Love should start from us and everything will follow.

We should first love ourselves in order for us to learn how to love other people. How can we love someone first if we don't even care about ourselves? In order for us to have the capacity to love others, we should first start with our own self. We should learn how to take good care and put our life in order so that we would know how to give love and make a difference in someone's life. :)
