What’s the point of being alive if all I want is out? The lifeboats are leaving with or without me. What’s the point of falling in love? If I don’t love myself.
It’s ok..I know how you feel. Try this opinion.. It’s a widely preconceived notion that “in order to love others you have to love yourself first”
But really, how true is that? It’s not very realistic.
My advise to anyone who struggles with this is to forget the idea of “loving yourself”, instead, start with a small amount of respect for yourself, for the life you’ve tried to live, your ambitions and goals. Start with a small amount of respect for yourself and how you put up with life and people, cuz you deserve respect for putting up with life, like we all do.
Build that respect, bit by bit till its clear what your focus is. Those who lack respect for themselves have a real lack of focus. And it’s hard to see where we fit in with all the confusion. Start small. Love will show it’s face when you stop looking for it and focus on gaining back the power of self respect. Hope that helps. Stay strong
