Loving oneself is all about accepting and appreciating who you are, recognizing your worth, and taking care of your well-being.
What is not self-love:
- Being arrogant and self-absorbed
- Negative Self-Talk: Constantly engaging in self-critical or demeaning thoughts about yourself
- Perfectionism: Setting unrealistically high standards and feeling a persistent sense of failure
- Difficulty Accepting Compliments: Struggling to accept compliments or positive feedback from others
- Seeking Approval: Relying heavily on external validation and approval to feel worthy or valuable.
- Avoiding Self-Care: Neglecting basic self-care
- Unhealthy Relationships: Staying in toxic or abusive relationships, whether romantic, platonic, or familial
- Fear of Rejection: Avoiding risks or new experiences due to a fear of failure
- Self-Isolation: Withdrawing from social interactions and isolating oneself from others
