Yo what does it mean to love yourself? And does it do anything

to be 100% secure with the person you are in the present moment. u don't feel any urge to change, you are happy with who you are. the sad thing about this website is that it sparks the most meaningless insecurities about our looks

yeah bro I second this - just unsure if one can actually take steps to love themselves more (aside from doing affirmations which I'm not sure work) and get external validation, which is obviously out of ones control


I'm sure there is a correlation but 2 thoughts on this:

1. how strong is that correlation, cos I'm thinking its pretty moderate at best

and

2. does one first develop self-love and then succeed in their lives, or is loving oneself a natural consequence from succeeding in life. bit of a chicken and egg scenario

I think the correlation is strong. The problem is of course that it isn't loving yourself or not that defines whether you are successful/happy or not, but the other way around. I.e., if you live a miserable life, attempting to love yourself won't fix the issues behind living a miserable life.
