Some days I do. Some days I waiver. Some days I don't. BUT, I do know that it is important to do so, and I maintain it as a diagnostic life standard and a working goal. "Do I love myself today?" If not I better have some kind of mental tune up, by either checking in with a friend or professional of some sort until I DO again.
-
Probably not as much as I should.
-
No, I hate myself.
-
You need to be able to love oneself to a proper degree, to have the right level of self respect. You can't love someone else, if you can't even give some of that love to yourself.
-
yes i love myself.
-
Yes, but not unconditionally. It's a work in progress.
-
I love myself internally, it's the reflexion of my external self that is more of a challenge for me. It's a self esteem thing that I'm working through.
-
Yes. I love myself more than I used to and less than I should. Love isn't a boolean yes-or-no type of entity. It is more of a sliding scale, and I need to work my way up the scale of self-love.
-
Sometimes I do. I know its important to and it is one of my goals to love myself more. But sometimes I just get so frustrated with myself. My good days are Okay and my bad days are really really bad. But I am seeing a doctor and that helps a ton!
-
I hate myself absolutely hate myself
-
no. more than once i've wished i was someone else, then maybe people would find a good reason to love me.
-
I'd call it "happy with one's self" instead of love but-- as you defined it --sure. Reason being if you don't love yourself you cannot love others. I do have times when I'm not happy with myself ---I believe everyone can say that from time to time but, in general, I believe I'm happy with myself because I'm happy how I treat others and that's the feedback I get from others.
-
Hmm... thats a tough one. I do, but I love me like you love your great aunt. You know, the one with the purple rinse and a moustache, we all have one. Most of them are called Doris, or Edna. Its one of those 'love, because you have to and feel bad because you are actually slightly repulsed by her' loves. You only put up with her because you have to, and would feel bad if you didn't
-
Yep, sometimes it's difficult. But I'm a firm believer that you have to love yourself before anyone else can.
-
Yes, but that doesn't mean I don't have a ton of stuff to say on this topic, of course! :-) I think there's a lot of doo-doo afloat in the pool of answers for this question. Self-love and self-acceptance are great things, of course, but people go about this goal in a variety of ways that don't work very well. Basically, there are a lot of strategies for trying to self-manipulate: positive thinking, trying to suppress negative self images, etc. These things *sort of* work a little bit, but they're not effective enough to have real power. To really love yourself, you have to actually "drill down" deeply into the dark, negative, painful material which lurks below the surface of awareness and come to know it well. If you dive deep enough, there's a little Chinese puzzle at the bottom. When you solve that puzzle, it rotates 3 1/2 turns counterclockwise and suddenly pops out of the drain. The dark pain and unresolved issues from the past can drain out through that hole, and what's left over is the clarity, love, and satisfaction which people are yearning for. Nobody ever gets that by trying to reprogram themselves for self-esteem or positivity. It's always an exercise in deep-self diving.
-
Perhaps to the point of wanting to be comfortable.
-
Eh! I have my good and my bad sides... but I am a nice guy really.
-
NO and YES, sometimes I feel I am a really nice person. others I really dislike the things I have to do. I think my family like me so I cannot be all bad but then I am not all good either. On the whole Yes but there is a lot of room for improvement
-
Yes. I'm rather satisfied with my level of self-adoration. It's good to love yourself; you can spread a lot more of your love around to others that way.
-
yes- of course I do- doesn't everyone? I mean today i took a shower, gave myself breakfast and lunch, and went to the bathroom. I get plenty of sleep each night and I try not to over do it- doesn't that mean that i love myself? I mean or else I would do things that hust myself if I hated myself.
-
most of the time
-
Yeh I do. In the same way you might love someone else, you kind of have to accept that they aren't perfect.
-
Sure. Why not? I'm here, so I just make the best of things. Pretty tough to do that if I picked on myself too often.
-
It depends on how my mood develops through the day. I can say say I constanctly love myself, and I suppose nobody does, because sometimes people love themselves, sometimes they don't. Myself, when in a good day , everything is great, but to see me in a bad day, that really sucks! But I guess I've been managing to control that. I just have to somehow try and think positive =) Self-shrink... lol
-
Oh!Yeah- One day at a time
-
Every time I inhale.
-
Yes I do.But some days are easier than others.
-
Absolutely. I'm content and although I've had my hard times and disappointments, I am pleased with the person I am. And I know that in order to truly love another, I must love myself first. And I believe that loving others is what we were put on this earth to do.
-
not much at the moment. my whole world is falling apart and it's like nobody cares or wants to know!
-
Yes, but never in public.
-
Well I'm not conceited, but I do respect myself!
-
The way to self love is by being a person of kindness and integrity. You must achieve this before you can love others properly. So yes, I love myself.
-
absolutley above all... eccept for mabye my dog.
-
Of course I do! If I don't love myself, how can I expect anyone else to love me?
-
yes, but it took someone to love me first.
-
yes ofcourse..no need to explain..
-
Not without dinner and a movie first!
-
oh yes!
-
Without a doubt.
-
I do.
-
Why shouldn't I? I'm the most lovable person I know.
-
YOu can not love yourself. YOu can only like yourself. Love is a mutual feeling between living thing. So like myself and I care about myself.
-
hmmm, sometimes - sometimes not :)
