People keep telling me that I must love myself before I can love my boyfriend-- How can I work on that? People tell me that I'm smart and kind and beautiful, but I have a hard time seeing myself that way.

People who say that are just use to having themselves rejected by others. So they learn to only put trust and value in their own judgement. Learning to love yourself is for those too inconfident or untrusting to look for others for help or compassion. Don't listen to those people. If you look, you will find that there are always people who will like you alot more than yourself ever could. It's more rewarding.

just think of all good points about you (personality, body and things you have done/can do) usually the reason people have low self esteem like this is because somebody has put them down ealier in their life (my mum used to do it to me and i felt crap about myself but i came to realise there was nothing wrong with me, it was my mum who had problems with herself) Anyway hope this helps you are unique and special and don't listen to what anyone else says =}
